When I cant sleep I go deep into my self and as of late I get the feeling I haven't long left to go. My health isn't up to scratch. I have been in and out of Hospital for pains in my kidneys I have this disease called Achalasia which prevents me from eating solid foods or even water some days and a few weeks ago my lungs packed in on me . Gather all that up and I think my body is telling me its time to go or is it my MH playing tricks. That's one thing when suffer from MH issues you cant be sure about anything there is always that doubt in the back of your mind , specially if one has had a breakdown in the past and I have had a few over the 30 odd years . Nobody tells to your face or at the time that your "cracking up" or "losing it" and " heads gone" it always when your a bit better people will say yea you done this and done that and you didn't look right then mate.
So many guys my age who abused their bodies over the years are dead Alcohol, drugs, suicides and I was one. I think going to prison cleaned my system a few times and has given me a few extra years 55 going on 70. Being so stressed over the years hasn't helped either. O well lets see if I can have some shut eye. Bye for now.

It doesn't matter what is causing you to feel like this. It is really upsetting for you whatever. I can't imagine how you must feel and I'm sorry as I get the feeling that your actions as a younger soul have influenced your life path. The past is over and today is the only day you need to cope with. You say your achalasia varies, maybe today will be a better day. Each day is different and I hope you can quiet your negative thoughts.
I don't know you but I can tell your a strong willed person just keep your self movated that's the way of having a healthy lifestyle just keep moving don't lay around i know some days it might be hard but force your self have a good day
As a child I went through every abuse you can imagine and it carried on up until I was 17. I reacted with anger and violence but when I got treated for PTSD , Depression crept in big-time. I did awful things to a number of people not sexually and now I am judged by people who has never felt the belt the stick the poker the knife the iron the verbal abuse of which I found the worse, I might add. I thought I was tough but over the years I realized I was a vulnerable victim easily led and have suffered number breakdowns. I now live like a hermit with absolutely no interest in being social with anyone. I don't trust people with good reason because once some people realize I am an easy touch they did take advantage. I must say I find life much more enjoyable being on my own. I tried living with a few woman and found it far to much drama trouble and stress. I just could not cope as I could not control my emotions.
Yes one night hanging with a much older guy ruined my chances of joining the army and ended up in Borstal . A close friend in school days and myself was always talking about joining. HE did and he travelled the world and it made him he was also abused but not so bad as myself I have always compared our lives because we was close and I always think what if I didn't climb out of my bedroom window that night I broke the law how would of my life went. Bit of an over share but that's how things has gone for me.
Thank you and your reply has given me an emotional lift. I never judge people no matter what they do because I believe many people who do terrible things are obviously in pain and I also believe nurture not nature is important to peoples mental health.
I used to wish the system would of taken me from my parents but I would of ended up being abused in care because abuses was going on in the system so I think the better of to evils was best being with my parents. I met so many damaged people in prison because they was put into care.
Putting predators in prison for many years hopefully will deter most people from abusing kids damaging so many.
Over the weeks I will tell you bit by bit what happened to me as a young one it helps to get things off my chest. I also see a nurse every month to keep me on track.
I used to think THE Americans was nuts to eat peanut butter and jam sandwiches but me and my boy ate some a month ago and now we have it every week. I hoping to get one down me soon their are very nice and good for you. Off subject but getting hunger pangs which is a good sign for me and since giving up smoking I get hungry more.
I'd like hearing more about you if you are comfortable in sharing your story. You see, I was a foster mother for a number of years but only had one child placed with me who needed undivided attention. She came into our home at the age of 2 but already had a lot of problems. I adopted her at 10years of age. This is the 26y.o. anorexic daughter that I talk about. Life can be very cruel and children who are abused are affected throughout their lives. Take care...
Glad you have an idea what's going on in your life. We all are going to die...many much sooner than you probably. We try not to worry about dying but living. Live the best you can. Do some of the things you enjoy as long as you are not hurting yourself or anyone else. Find pleasure in little things. Sitting quietly and watching the sunset or watching animals and how God has provided for them. God loves you.
I do carry a lot of guilt but also a lot of pain. When one has been abused severely by a mother I think it can warp ones way of thinking. I do over think but that's part of being a loner. I have found peace of late only through very strong meds and meditation and yes I know God has a plan and I am in it somewhere.
I tend to overthink too. Most of the time misjudging situations and people (what they think about me). I am asking God to help me get over that and it seems to be working. I heard this this morning: "Have you became a burden to yourself?" That's what happens when we overthink. I don't want to make me a burden to myself but I realized I have...now it's time to change that way of thinking and get rid of the negative thinking. Carry on. Don't stop living...focus on the good things in your life. Have you heard of the book, "The Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer....a good book to read and implement.
I feel ok gutted that my chemist stopped my Valium but I get where they are coming from. I been ticking all the boxes and then complaining I was still getting all the meds I didn't need feel a bit foolish but like I said in last posts I am on very strong meds. lol I ok but how are you and the rest on here ? I will get over this bout of depression have done so many times.
Give it time and you'll enjoy it .I done it for over a year but stopped when I became ill. I will start again soon when I get back to a normal routine again.
