My mental and physical wellness thread
« on: September 12, 2014, 05:27:30 pm »
I'm intending for this to be a journal thread of sorts.  You're free to comment of course, but it's okay if no one does too.  This thread is more for me to track my progress and stay on the straight path than anything, though I do hope it will be sort of interesting for some others to read.  My name's equanimity, on a good day.  I was really hoping there would be a lot in a name and it would serve as a sort of reminder.  Like motivating myself to be that person I really want to be.

It worked for a few days, but lately I've been slipping into that state of mind where everything is funny even when it's not, and the mind jumps around from thing to thing before anything meaningful can be accomplished.  This probably means nothing to anyone reading!

Okay.  I don't think I have time for a proper introductory post, because I'm really supposed to be very busy right now.  It probably speaks volumes that I decided to write about my current state and future plans when I should be confronting life directly and putting things into action.  Does this make sense, at all?

Simply breathe, and breathe simply.

Lately I've been a little overwhelmed with my schoolwork.  Being consistently productive is difficult for many people, I'm sure.  I've got a big scary test tomorrow and I'm not too prepared, but it's one I can retake a few times if need be so that's okay.  Once I post this, I'm going to get to studying really hard maybe!  I'm real good studier.  Oh yes.

Physical: I stopped exercising a few weeks back.  There was all this blah going on with plumbers and jackhammers and the space where I did my simple weight routine got all covered in couches and desks and books and things.  I could have continue exercising by doing it in a different room or something, but I'm not so great with that sort of thing.  If things get upset a little bit it all falls to pieces, though I'm learning to let that be okay.

Guess that was more mental.  Alright, physical: I started my yoga class yesterday!  Finally.  They pushed it back a couple weeks for some reason, but now we're here and it is good.  This will be my third semester of yoga class and I love it so hard.  Yoga days are good days!  You get to feel all relaxed and those stretches are sooooo goooood!!  That's how bodies were meant to move.  I'm clumsy and awkward so I'm still not the best at it, but it's really helping.  It's nice just to get out and like do things, too.  My friends are all shut-ins who think a night with friends means mashing X-Box buttons and watching bad movies.  I want to do all the things.  Yoga is a start!

Food: I found some glass noodles, made with sweet potato starch.  Been playing with those.  Pretty good.  Sometimes still eating bad foods.  Wish we kept only good food in the house.  It sucks seeing like some tortillas with beans and whatever sitting around, 'cause then you're like okay I'll have a taco and then you have three.  At least I'm sober though, and weight is at a very manageable 123lbs.

phew.

It's interesting when we notice the pull our delusions have on our experiences.  We experience the five senses we're taught from a young age, and generally speaking most people don't undergo massive delusion involving them.  There are obviously certain neurological disorders, drugs, or any number of things that can cause us to experience things like tactile delusion; but compared to the mind and those falsities we live and breathe it's hard to compare.

It's always been that sixth sense that trips me up.  You people are like monsters so I won't go into any great detail, but I recently became aware of something that caused me to lose a great deal of my self-confidence.  It's affected me in strange ways.  Or more accurately, I've affected myself in strange ways as a response to my self-imposed delusion.  And it's silly.  It's always silly, whatever it is.  My experience of that thing isn't accurate.  It's likely exaggerated as I obsess and exist in my limited perspective.  There are probably different and better reasons I could have for lacking self-confidence that I'm entirely unaware of.  I've always been sort of oblivious to things.  Lots of different things.

But this bothers me.  I'm doing what I can to fix it, though it may not be enough.  Sometimes these things are unfortunately inevitable.  Maybe it's a part of growing old.  But I'm not old and these things aren't supposed to happen yet.  Didn't I have more life to live?  Not that my life is over.  But I always thought I had more time.

"Life is too short to spend it hurrying around!"

And I took my time, breathing carefully and intentionally.

I'm still in the healing process, but now I don't know how much time there is left.  Won't the world wait for me?  What am I doing here, and what do I even want out of this experience of life?

It's all delusion.  I know this, and I know I should just keep on breathing.  What else is there, besides the breath?  There might be something, or there might not.  It probably doesn't matter either way.  But for now I'm enveloped in my delusion, and it stings as it eats away at my heart.  I wish I knew what wisdom was.

I'm not doing so well.  Back to being sad.  Very, very sad.  Can't sleep.  Not too sure what I want to write about but it feels like there should be a lot.

I hate my body.  Like actually hate it.  That's not a productive or even worthwhile thing to say, but there it is.  Maybe it's not such a bad body, and I'm just crazy.  The boys always seem to like it.  But they liked it even at 150lbs, when I was really fat.  They'll fuck anything with holes, and I fit the bill.  It probably doesn't help that I seek out very unhealthy relationships, like maybe I've been raping myself.  I loved it, letting them use me.  Some of it was really depraved.  Not the light-hearted depraved, but the kind that leaves scars... emotional and otherwise.  Burn me with your cigarettes, please.  I like it when you make me cry.  Why would a person want that?  It's baffling.  I only liked it when he liked it.  His sadism was ugly, but when directed my way it all made sense.  I'll be your masochist, friend.  I wish I could get all of that out of my head, because even after we parted ways I can't help but desire what destroys me.  Please hurt me, for I'm confused about what it means to love.

Wow, that's awful.  That's not me anymore.  I'm so much better now.  But still...

And now I'm not seeing anyone, or being fucked.  It's probably for the best.  When you want him to hurt you, he will begin hurting you.  Even if he's against the idea, it will happen gradually.  Some psychological/social shit goes down.  I hate myself; won't you join me?  No?  Well, let's give ourselves some time to grow.

I'm sad that I can't love for true.  Everything is so romantic in my head.  I love those romances.  I'm so many different things.  Here to serve my community quietly and sincerely, like an unsung hero.  When I'm depressed like this, I get through my days by reminding myself that it's all worthwhile if I can alleviate someone else's suffering just a tiny bit.  I'm very brave, because I'm kind and patient in a very true way even when I'm upset.  Also self-obsessed and a little broken, but healing.  Should try to stay positive.

These communities of crazy people on the internet are great 'cause you get to see all these people being open and sincere, but sometimes it's worrying that so many of them seem to commit suicide.  Maybe suicide happens in all circles, but sort of getting to know these people and their demons probably colors those incidences more, so they stick out in the mind.  It's still nice getting to know your demons.  Makes me feel human.

I feel a little better now.  And if anyone reads this uhm.  Don't read too much into it.  That's all in the past, and I'm making myself into a success story.  Maybe it'll be like a sharp contrast to those unfortunate events.  Though I guess we never remember the happy endings.

There are worse things to be than forgotten.

Can't believe I read this shit. You got lucky this time equanimity....


I guess we are all here to blow off some steam. If it wasn't for a place like this I think a lot of us would be doing even crazier shit out in the real world. I'm weird. You're weird. Humans are weird. Why are we here?
