"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal." Isn't it interesting how in ancient times when a tribesman suffered an illness of the mind or soul, or had a question of great depth and weight, he'd go to the medicine man/woman, or shaman, and recieve guidance and healing? I don't know why I'm thinking of this tonight but I don't watch cable t.v. , never have and didn't grow up with it, don't have a Netflix or Prime account. But billions of people sit infront of the T.V. Television after a long day. Tel-e-vision, but does it tell you a vision? Or are you just being subjected to what program to watch, what programming is available on that screen?📺👀🧠

Yes, the most normal could indeed be suffering the most as they contain their internal will. Until one day they may not. The ancient ways are still clung to by few(though formidable). The truth is the culture a majority of us are apart of today rejected and abandoned the old ways. Seeking instead how to wield debilitating illness rather than cure it. As TV and other media, they promise control and contentment. They mean their own, to them we are just talented cattle. Unable to do what they feel is necessary to be treated of mental illness(not cured). Indeed only those with debilitating illness would seek to control and use others of their kind.

Love Bombing

Love bombing is a manipulation tactic where someone overwhelms another person with excessive affection, attention, flattery, gifts, and promises very early in a relationship, often to gain control or create a sense of dependency. At first, it can feel like intense romance: • Constant texting or... read more

Depression worsening, no more alcohol

Im drained, head hurts. Sleep all the time. Alcohol used to give temporary comfort, now it only makes me want to hurt myself. Still 4 hours at work. Just want to sleep for a long time. Therapy Friday, but I dont think it will make much difference. Hmm I dont feel well

Getting to know people is tiring.

I find most people boring. I am not a narcissist and I don’t have a superiority complex. Quora and Reddit say that there is a small percentage of the population that feels this way. So I know I am not alone. But trying to find people with similar interests has been an ordeal. It’s tiring.

Yep, older people were right, as a man never show emotions, dont say all truth or bad life stories and just act like a dark triad. look at actions and not words… in a sense being authentic will make you alone

Dead eyes??

So earlier I was on my way to work so I got in the bus and sat by this woman. This woman looked at my eyes as I averted my gaze cause I was creeped out and then she suddenly spoke saying you have dead eyes as she got up and exited the bus. What does it mean????
