Really hoping that saying is accurate.

I tend to over think things a little bit sometimes.

Actually grinned when i saw the words over and think. I have spent so much time in the past and the future that i've missed lots of now moments, trying to address that lately..

Quite nice to know I'm not alone in this I must say. I actually annoy myself sometimes when I do it.

*hugs for all*

Very far from alone in it Paws, society as a whole doesn't really encourage us to appreciate the now, you are always prompted to ask what's next..

Hugo Stiglitz

You're full of wisdom, Grem.

Gremlinertia

Interesting way of looking at it tbh. I always seem to be dissatisfied with things.

Gremlinertia

My ongoing mental health struggles have given me pause to think quite a bit, mostly negative, that's a given really tbh. However i still try to look at things as a child or maybe an animal would sometimes to connect with how amazing things we take for granted are.

x Purple Pawprints x

That is interesting I must say, Grem. It's a really lovely way of looking at things.

Gremlinertia

It's lovely in theory but remembering to practice, dear lord..

Yeah, it can be a little difficult I imagine, Grem.

Having some mental health issues myself. I've closed myself in almost completely. I have a railing surrounding my house and I feel that's my safe zone. I'm quite agoraphobic now. I also have social anxiety more often than not.

I will. It's like I've done a 180 degree spin. I used to be more outgoing and relaxed but now I'm stressed and closed in.

It's all fits and phases Kitty, the thing that fcuks us up is making the illness a habit. I feel safe in my rut, but my rut hurts me, but change is scary so i don't even consider getting out of the rut (not that it's by any means easy) so i've just told myself i'd rather the pain.. The brain is a funny beast.

The brain & the heart are the two most complicated things about being human, that we've yet to fully figure out.

Kkkitty, I hope you're OK x

Gremlinertia

You're a wise man Lith..

From lair to lair I've changed. Things happened in real life that changed who I am as a person. I don't know what to do to change me at all. Thoughts enter my head and I feel bad about them.

You could be a counsellor Grem.

So many words of wisdom. lot of what has been posted rings through for me too. Try and avoid the social spotlight where possible & always overanalyze things.

Would love to live on a remote island & not deal with anyone (except Noccers)

x Purple Pawprints x

Noccer Island. Now there's a thought!

Thoughts come in to most people's heads that shock them from time to time, it just tends to be more frequent for people like us because we are harder on ourselves Kitty. Give a shot at accepting the thought (accepting isn't the same as approval) and moving on as opposed to questioning your brain.

Jaysis Ted, go easy i'm like a little red light district here!.

I tend to have my Yoda moments every now and again , i think if you've mental health problems of any kind, you should put them out there, talk to someone, because if you keep that kind of stuff bottled away, it's gonna eat away at you little by little until it breaks you altogether, hell i'm not a man of few words, but even a simple hello/or a coffee and a conversation goes a long way to cheering someone up, fair enough people will say ''cheer up'', but depression/mental health issues are not going to go away with a simple ''cheer up'', if only life were that easy, people are fighting battles that we don't see, so if you know someone like that, talk to them, learn, and maybe, just maybe we can change the stigma about mental health in this country for the better.. Learn to respect those who are suffering, don't put them down for it.. Somewhere along the line, humanity lost it's ability to love one another, just because you've mental health issues, doesn't mean it's the end of the world, we should learn to embrace those with said issues, as they could be the next marvels in whatever fields they work in/do for a living.

Sorry for the long winded rant, but at the end of the day, people with mental health issues are people too, who just need that little bit extra TLC.

KKkitty

I would love an island small enough to just be comfortable in. My sister is going through a bad time herself and I just wish I could do more for her.

It's the little things that go a long way.

x Purple Pawprints x

It really is. You're right, Lith.
