You do seem rather introspective. It isn't a fault, it's just who you are. Go with the flow. We all go through this stuff, you just report back on it. My fault is I keep everything to myself, I know that but I don't stress about it.

come again ?
Introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations. It is a conscious and purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and examining one's own thoughts, feelings, and, in more spiritual cases, one's soul. It can also be called contemplation of one's self, and is contrasted with extrospection, the observation of things external to one's self. Introspection may be used synonymously with and in a similar way to human self-reflection. It is used greatly as a spiritual examination

Hmmm sounds like me in a way

try beer, this is too deep for me.

Now Rick, Alcohol is a depressant. We don't bring sand to the beach.
It can also cause anxiety. As in, the next day, "Why did I say/do such a thing? I suck. Life sucks. Everything sucks. Why bother. etc,.." Followed by, "I could use a drink."
We wouldn't want to put a cycle like that in motion.

You may have a chemical imbalance, Paradox. Who knows?
Try St. John's Wort. It's good for depression and anxiety, but you sort of have to meet it half way, if you dig. O0

Also, try making a list of all the things that are bothering you. Then divide the list into Things You Can Change/ Control/ or Effect and Things You Cannot.
Keep the list of things you can change and work on it.
Crumple up the list of things over which you have no control, throw it in the toilet, pee on it and flush soundly.

btw para not all meditation involves stillness, your intricate resto of small bits for your van is meditation if you try to let your mind 'empty' and you focus on 'now', your breathing, you're surroundings etc I bet you meditate more than your aware, and 'erb free

You're kidding right? Two old ladies in matching outfits made everything ok? I don't think you have much to worry about. Or you're not the introspective type.

All I am saying is sometimes life is just about appreciating the small things to brighten your day.

I guess you're right Marowak. Perhaps particularly when some of the big things have gone tits up.

i am not going to go into everything that has happened to my family and i on here (some people know) - but its been a pretty rough year. probably no worse than things others have been through / and are going through.

what i was try to put across (maybe not so well) is its all about finding what makes you smile.

And well you did put it across. Sorry I read it as a bit flippant at first, but I now see it was far from that.

Lots of us having a tough time on here at the moment. Quite happy to wear my heart on my sleeve though. Wife left me for an Elvis Presley impersonator last Feb after 24 years. She took 2/3 household income with her and she's keeping the lot. I have all the problems, joint debts, mortgage you name it. They come for me because I live in the house. Not to mention hurt man-pride to say the least. Subsequently been taken to court 3 times for non-payment of one thing or another. There's more but I'll stop there.

I find some solace in getting my van together ready for next year, but I'm sorely missing something to look forward to in the nearer future.
