Pepe there are good days and bad days. I am reading a new book....The Celestine Prophecy and meditating A LOT. It helps. And knowing that every day is a new day and I can take one day at a time : ) and each day is a new day. What a great philosophy right. Everyone that suffers from sadness should remember this. It's like putting one foot in front of the other. : )

I am surprisingly emotionally resilient.
I have had to contend with a couple of unfortunate circumstances, lately, but have shrugged them off quite easily.
I think, in part, it might be:
"Every day you don't die of the coronavirus is a good day.
Seriously.

Pepe lately......I am too. I'm not sure what changed. The kid got swabbed the other day. Waiting for results. Pretty sure he has tonsillitis cause we don't have Corona where we live. But I can't live my life being miserable....nobody can. Don't worry....be happy. Right!! !! : ) Life is too frigging short....

The thought has passed through my mind, in the rougher parts of my life it seemed like an easy way out but I never really felt any sort of urge to act on it.

Ive often wanted to make myself dissappear for a while though. Like I should just get in my car, start driving and not look back.

I often used to wonder about going off the grid and becoming a vagabond, to escape the form-filling, having to go to work, and all the anxiety of the usual kind of existence. I was disappointed with a psychology book I read that referred to such people as "simple schizophrenics" as if there was something wrong with them. But the downside of such a lifestyle choice is not always having easy access to food and shelter I guess. It would be very easy to come to harm. I did give up a relatively cushy job to go and live in a kind of commune thing once, but it didn't work out and I had to revert to the usual lifestyle. Luckily I hadn't completely burned my boats, so I was able to re-establish myself as a normal citizen.

I'd be surprised if anyone n the autistic spectrum hasn't felt that way at least once, frankly.

This especially applies if they're diagnosed far too late, like I am.

5 people, on this poll, voted no.
I am guessing they might be theists. :scratch:

This is the best time in my life, so I tend to agree.

OUCH!

on a rural hilltop when some deer bounded out of the woods all around me, next thing i knew i was thrown over the handlebars and landed with a crunch about 6 feet ahead. if i had been a foot further to the left, i would have rolled down a steep densely wooded/brushy ravine and never been found. greenstick on the right, compound shattered elbow on the left, lost a lot of blood. somehow i survived. i took that as a sign. that was a year from hell, however.

I felt homicidal every day for a few years but never suicidal. Feelings of despondency would give way to anger and I took crazy risks, with little regard for my own safety but maybe that falls onto the catagory of "death wish".

i "passively suicided" for many years via heedlessly unhealthy diet and careless "accidents" culminating in the great mother of all accidents for me which hospitalized me and crippled me up for a good while.
