How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[champie]

Exhausted by the continuous failed effort to understand how I am supposed to live knowing how undeserving of this life I am. I wish, if there was anything worthwhile in me, that it could be split up into 8 billion pieces and given to everyone else, with which they could to do something beneficial for themselves. Otherwise I am of no use to anyone. My own constant involuntary demand for breathable air disgusts me.

Really wishing I were dead

I can understand that. I feel like rotting meat, look like it also. Oh well, give it time here and see how things go. One positive is nobody walks up to me with the old: "Hey, man you got a dol....wait I don't want anything from you.".

Im freaking because its the first time my sister showed a few odd psychosis like behaviours she texted me at almost 3 am with something that scared the shit out of me and now I got heart palps and can’t sleep

Feeling like crap

 

[Lostman85]

Scared,worried,hurt,stressed out,feel like I've hurt anyone i talk to,and feel im the problem i made every mistake to ruin people's lives cause im useless. I don't think anybody would like if you new me. Thats why im losing everyone.

Worried. I checked my dad's security videos this morning and there is a guy with a bag approaching his place around 1am. He left when the sensor light turned on. Obviously up to something nefarious.

Upset yesterday. Something that requires legal action happened to my niece and she was crying hysterically. And my daughters father called me irate over my daughters car payment, or lack of. I seem to be put n the middle.

I hope everyone here is as well as they can be this Sunday.

 

[puffymilk]

Still all over the place...

Leaving Alaska for Seattle today. Been a great trip and I’m ready to go home but I have another week before I do. Why do I want to go home I don’t know. It’s a lonely existence at home. But I am ready for it

Feeling a lot better today than the last few days. Having a good sleep is at the heart of it.

 

[seabird]

I hope everyone here is as well as they can be this Sunday.

Thanks for this Lane. I hope all that stuff happening around you turns out to be solveable without too much more disturbance of peace.

I'm feeling kind of neutral. Since I've been doing better over the past several days, I have been doing a lot of cleaning up, of both mental and physical messes, that I let slide when I was too down to notice. Having a more orderly space is nice. The neutrality part comes in when I notice that this is not really having a satisfactory mental state, but rather that I am trying to make the best of a bad situation. I'm not going to let it get me down (if I succeed), but I'm not going to lie to myself by saying everything is fine. : - /

What is the word that describes the feeling of "staring into a void like my mind has vacated the premises"?

 

[puffymilk]

Dead inside

 

[DarkNightshade]

Very good

Existential paralysis? The phrase of staring into the void reminded me of a little Nietzsche quote, "if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." I am no scholar on the Existentialist school, but the way I would interpret the Nietzsche quote is that if you get stuck in that state for too long, the void starts to feel like that's your true nature. Take that for what you will. FWIW, I am an out of work philosopher so I don't have much of an outlet for these things circling my mind.

Thank You! I appreciate you!

 

[seabird]

Fairly surprised at how good I feel at the moment.

 

[Angie]

I am in a strange mixed state.

Part of me is hopeful about life and part is so very depressed I'm sitting here in tears.

wtf???

"the void starts to feel like that's your has become my true nature "
