Cruel society and poor morals, and just personal pain

Post Reply New Topic

I'm very unhappy with the distinct lack of morals portrayed in the world.
I feel very sad by the ailments, and pollution, be it metaphorically or literally...

I am overloaded, and these things are painful, and present.

I am also terribly bored... I wish I had more social outlets - my mental health deteriorates, and it's so damn painful that my ex girlfriend doesn't talk any more - I only want to live in Denver now and... it's overwhelming.

I feel resigned to a fate of a lone ranger.

Help a poor soul in pain.

Samtoo I think it would be beneficial for you to see a therapist. And maybe take up mountain biking.

I was seeing a Councillor, but now I'm on a waiting list for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I hope CBT will be of some help at least.
I think I have OCD.

I am very idealistic, and it makes it hard for me not to be angry all the time. I know this is partly because of the rigid thinking my autism causes and partly because there are good reasons to be angry. I am obsessed with the news, and most of it upsets me. I find it hard to be around most people because they do things that really offend my sense of morality.

So, yeah-- mountain biking seems like a good idea.

I have the same trouble. You try to look at it from a logical perspective but it's still hard not to feel very troubled by it. One thing I do is keep the news off, I hardly use the TV anyway.

Yours probably stems from depression and lonliness. As a person with AS I know for me I have to get out of my comfort zone which is a huge challenge.

I don't know what else to say but (((hugs))). Don't be sad you got a lot of talent with that guitar. Normally I'd tell you to see a therapist but they've never worked for me. Support groups on the other hand do help in knowing I'm not alone.

Take care of yourself. You can only look out for yourself and be your own best friend.

Chronos: Mountain biking sounds kind of fun but I don't know - the only thing that interests me is music really...

Vector: *Hug* I hope you are well. ^^
I understand I think - I too am rigid in my thinking, and idealistic about myself.

MissConstrue: I'm not sure what to do, except work hard at music from time to time.
I don't like the news either.

Thank you, Chronos, Vector and MissConstrue.

^^Yaye greetings samtoo.

I am very sorry that you are feeling unhappy.

I believe that too feel very worried for all of the suffering that takes place and I believe that there is a scary demon within me who enjoys feeding upon this and scaring me.

^^However, today whilst I was feeling frightened I opened a happy little booklet I received from within an issue of the happy BBC Wildlife magazine that I purchased today. I believe that this booklet contains many magical photographs from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award.

I believe that I discovered a very beautiful photograph in which a very poor turtle was tangled very much within a fishing net. However, I believe this was very lovely as a little passage of text explained that the human photographer freed the happy little turtle from the net so that he could continue to live his life.

^^I am very sorry if this is silly of me samtoo, however perhaps when I become frightened when hearing that a not nice act has taken place, I may know that a very beautiful, loving, kind act has taken place also within a different location or time.

I do hope your curse is lifted very soon. I am sorry for being horrible.

i rarely watch the news (to depressing or annoying), i prefer to watch/read science fiction, as for something to do, i play video games do puzzles work on my book or learn computer programming

hope you feel better soon

Put some awesome tunes in your favorite MP3 device, and get on that mountain bike! (Or take a walk or a run or cartwheel all over town). You need some endorphins, and you need to exhaust your body in a healthy activity, and let your mind process these feelings. I find activity, the kind that leaves you falling asleep on the couch by 9pm each night, really helps more than therapy for releasing the emotional pain.

Then, later, I can write it out or sing it out...or in your case, maybe compose or play it out, right?

I find you can't connect with others very well, especially new-to-you people, until you've made some room in your painful heart. For me, that means tipping over the cup a bit.

Good luck with the CBT, but in the meanwhile, you don't have to just sit on your couch and wait. You're worth more than that.

Tomasu: That, in the end, is a nice story.
Oh no you are not being horrible.
Thank you very much, Tomasu. ^^

Titangeek: Yeah I find the news depressing.
Thank you very much, Titangeek. ^^

pandorazmtbox: Thank you very much, pandorazmtbox. ^^
It is logical indeed - endorphins are more required than I probably realize. It is sorrowful, to avoid nature, so I need to be part of nature, more often.

conundrum: Thank you very much, conundrum. ^^
I hope everything picks up and gets much easier soon.

I think I'm about to go into a meltdown.
I am like a child - if I can't have at least a little bit of what I need, then I'll get terribly angry.

Why for crying out loud can't a person who touched my soul ever talk to me any more? Even if I wrote the best articulation in history my ex wouldn't respond...

I will never cope if she doesn't respond even to the most absolutely depressed cries for help.
