| Sorry I didn't mean you have schizophrenia, basically I was saying what I had read about the circadian cycle being switched in it might apply to things other than schizophrenia like intrusive thoughts alone. And melatonin if I remermber right (maybe not) is a supplement to take when your circadian r... |

| How is your sleep? And do you usually dream when you sleep? The thoughts sound like the waking equivalent of cathartic dreams or violent nightmares. NOT that this is schizophrenia, it doesn't sound like it, but I read that schizophrenia is the result of the sleep-awake cycle being switched so that I... |

| ---- I feel so horribly guilty and like things are just ghastly. Always some mixture of pain and now this new anger and guilt, I don't know what's what anymore. Added to that paranoia that I'm not even sure is paranoia and all sorts of other very negative emotions. |

| This one is a tough one. It's depth cannot be described. But I'll be brief because I don't want to preach. I was born and raised an athiest. As time went on I embraced the stoicism of Marcus Aurelius and spiced it up with Emmanuel Kant. But as time continued, I kept feeling lonely, unfulfilled, and... |

| I just realized that the lying in the sun without a care in the world example might actually qualify as contentment. Is that feeling what people mean when they say they want it? In any case I find it very very hard to get to that state... I know few ways of achieving it, it's hard to just lie in the... |

| Is there anyone else here that is unable to feel or even imagine contentment? I hear people talking about life being peaceful and easy and secure and emotionally stable ("not too high and not too low") as a goal and I hear that as boring and unstimulating and stagnant and numb. Contentment is a hor... |

| - I hate Facebook too. I would be very glad if I could throw my computer in a trash compacter and that would be all it took to erase everything that happened as a result of my computer use. It's just 1s and 0s, it might as well be a video game right. |
