  Taking Life Too Seriously

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been thinking a lot this week about what has gotten my brain into the mess that it is in.

  yes, chemistry plays a part, but i think thoughts affect brain chemistry as much as brain chemistry affects thoughts (especially over a long period of time).

  i know that one thing for sure is true, i take life and all the bits and pieces of it way too seriously, allowing my emotions to be swung on a much greater arc that i should.. but just think about witness childhoods.

  The story of my life (part 16- Dazed, and then mundane)

  by onacruse in

  in hardly 10 years, my psychical life had been destroyed, and then my soulical life had been demolished.

  i was a tatters of a man.. i went to a psychiatrist...what a hopeless effort: at $150 an hour, i would've had to spend the next 10 years, and several hundreds of thousands of dollars, to "explain" to this man what i'd experienced.

  even then, he wouldn't have been able to understand.

  The story of my life (part 10- transition #1)

  by onacruse in

  as mr. spock would often say: "interesting, very interesting.".

  posting the first several parts of my life story evoked an emotional response in me that i didn't fully anticipate; thus the angst.

  as i've pondered what happened next, (and maybe this is one of the very best things i can derive from sharing my experiences!
