Wow! Interesting!
I am extremely attached to some things (people the biggest challenge, but a few things too), and more or less apathetic to others. But I DO believe that for our sanity AND for sucess with most relationships, especially new ones, a certain level of restriction or detachment should be there, so in case we lose that thing (in this case person), well, it may hurt, but it shouldn't break us.
Btw, that's just personal philosophy, because I didn't read that. Guessing it is Hindu something because you mentioned yoga. Am I right?
Yoga is good, but I do it more for the physical, not necessarily spiritual, though it does help with clarity and overall good feeling.

^^ I understand what you mean...I also think some things/people are easier to detach from than others...

I dont know about you guys, but stretching feels nice. Yoga stretching, not rubberman stretch-a-thon

Depression is unfortunate and for many who are depressed it is unavoidable. Ive turned to many methods to fix my depression over the years and I can tell you that while yoga, meditation and medicine are all effective they do not address the underlying problem which is probably a result of choices made in childhood or experiences that one went through. The point of yoga and meditation is that the mind is freed from what is restraining it at the time and through peace, we should be able to clearly apprehend the problem. Its no different for drug, alcohol and sex addiction- the act of letting go of what is confusing or restraining the mind is the objective. What isnt included in these therapies is a focus on the root of the dilemma. For myself it was my understanding and interpretation of the spiritual path of my family and how I chose to respond to it that caused me to make the decisions that led me into a situation where I found out that life isnt what I thought it was, and so I became depressed. This mountain of life that I had awkwardly climbed had led me to the path of unhappiness. I had to walk back down that mountain and find a better path.

I cleaned and scrubbed and organized my apt last night. I threw away two huge bags of junk. I hadnt actually cleaned or dusted or much of anything but scrub the toilet for the past year. You wouldnt believe how much dust there was laying around. This place actually feels wonderful to be in. Considering how much time I spent here the last year I wonder how I could have lived this way. Im simply amazed. Im also going to try and get on at a temp agency today |

i'm ashamed at how addicted I feel to a certain website (not this one. not yet anyway) but yeah...well we were talking about attachment somewhere else...it's sortof that same thing. ehhh bleh! so mskied is going to quit smoking and walk instead?? yeah, trying to find stuff to distract me. My question is, how do I know when I'm losing the balance from addicted to like apathetic?? -sorry this post is random thoughts from all over this site, but my head is all over the place and well, it IS like depression. I've been in and out of it for awhile. Thought I was out of it, then I got excited on some like addiction. idk. I seriously don't know! Talk about asking questions though...like why?? why do I keep doing or getting into this state of self-unassuredness??  oh maaaan! now I want a smoke! haha not really, but i mean it's the same feeling. (former smoker) eek! go away!!! |

Addiction would not be apathy but there is an apathy in addiction. Apathy means you do not care but in my view one becomes addicted because they actually do care; they are trying to escape or resolve something. It becomes apathy when they no longer care that what they have turned to- the addiction- has become destructive to their ability to function.
