How do you guys even keep yourselves together? I find physical existence to be full of unpleasantness. Physical aches and pains, aging, sickness...and then the mental ravages of existential crises. "What am I doing here? I'm going to die. My life is passing away between my fingers. Time is moving on, and on, and on." I try my best to ignore all of these things, live healthy, stay busy and have a productive, happy life......but these things just keep creeping up on me and it's honestly a constant battle.
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle. Life is but a walking shadow.
A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot - full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."

How do you guys even keep yourselves together? I remember telling one of my kids this. "Whenever you get stressed just remember this, the older you get the better life is". When I was a child my life was horrific. In my teenage years it was full of bad mistakes. In my 20's it was all about trying to find out who I was. In my 30's it was trying to make money. In my 40's it was about starting over again. In my 50's it was about gaining self confidence and finally winning at life. In my 60's it was about peace and serenity and FINALLY liking my life. In a few weeks I will be in my 70's and am looking forward to that. |

Aches and pains suck. I have bills to pay, and kids, so unless I am requiring a hospital stay, I'm working through aches and pains. Plenty of questions of life why's and what not, but again, have responsibilities and passing thoughts happen. Either feed into thoughts or dont. Be aware of where the feeding will take you as far as mood & feeling. The good news: Yesterday's gone |

I dont have any anymore, its been used up by psychosis. Im too weak to endure anything now, though as time goes on I do get a little bit stronger, but not much. I wish I could handle more but I just cant, twenty years of madness will do that to you. Im glad you are a fighter! |

It's interesting how there are people who you can talk to that seem to uplift your spirit and easing the stress. Then it's like magic, you don't talk to them anymore.
🤷♀️
oh well, life moves on

I muted my cell phone and it has been more pleasant not hearing the phone ring or the message notifications for over a month. I'm not turning it back on

I find that I need periods of just doing nothing to kinda destress/decompress, but....it's actually being busy and engaged that keeps me in the happy zone. Because if I get too much empty time on my hands, I'm gonna start eating myself with my thoughts and become depressed. Healthy, productive distractions are what I need.

Work is a great distraction but takes away from things I need to do at home which I'm exhausted after work and on my day off to do too much. I'm tired of work work work work work.... .but I like some work lol
Be glad you aren't a female lol you'd hate the hormonal imbalance times those are fun. Now it's laughable because I'm old and totally can tell the imbalance so I'm aware and can handle it more than when I was young, it's all irregular but it's manageable. 🤷♀️ 😆 weird, but that's probably just reflecting and life situations taking me to a different level. Growing.

Growing. Well - actual work sucks - but I mean the work that I want to do and would choose to do in my free time - that's the kind I'd be okay with. Hormonal imbalances suck. Darn bodies. They're all over the place, aren't they. |
