Re: does anyone else have high confidence and security but depression/anxiety problem
existential depression and pst trauma
In general, same aboat. Minus, I've contained my confidence as close as I can in what/who I am. Only way I could deal with my past, and my never ending queries and termoil I feel and see in life, and how we choose to exist. Ect.. I've just about given up on life, but existence and what I am? I find the tension fascinating and terrifying. Reminds me I'm alive. In the beginning it was so destructive, now I'm just used to it's destructive contrast with how I live life.
Idk what you're refering to, or how you're meaning, or coming from. If it's anything like how I feel, it's almost impossible to explain. Words kinda need explaining, liberating, defining... it's a mess. Music helps. But regardless of how I deal with it. If it's anything to do about who you are as you exist, have existed, will exist, as an idividual, or a whole or whatever. There's a sort of contrast to this life that needs balancing on many levels as you look deeper into it.
In anycase.. the more you learn in an existential perception, the more trivial and less important "normal" things in society become, which, creates a contrast to who you feel you are, and can cause a rift of depression because you're doing things in a moment that contradict or cause you pause. Or whatever..
Erhm. Have you dealt with the issues in your past at the source of your pts? That has a incredible influence on your own personal existential perception. Kinda knocks shit out of alignment and creates definitions that are needed to protect yourself, that get in the way of free flowing thought in some instances.
Idk if im on track with what you're on about, or what so I'll stop.
