The Importance of a Breakdown 

The School of Life this is incredible! Thank you, what about a shared psychosis? I had a breakdown due to one.

This video is exactly what my mind/heart was looking for! Thank you for that

It's just amazing how this channel touches my heart and mind.

The School of Life Thankyou for this incredible video . It gives me hope

Where can one go for more help?

Ahh yes

this made me feel less guilty of what could be a major melt down. It made me start a vlog, which now has 100 subscribers today.

Anastasia Christina this comment is underrated

I understand. Fortunately my low self-esteem tells my paranoia that I'm not important enough to merit persecution.

peculiarlittleman that hit close to home

Hahaha same here! Thanks fbi lady

You didn't go through "a major breakdown" believe me. You may have grown though ..for other reasons.

@@metsot don't be so vague. some random person on the internet doesn't need your lies and coddling.

I had one, very intense (scared the cats), short in duration and I could feel it physically break. It has been like that beautiful day after a hurricane. I am very patient with myself and at 69 I finally feel love for myself. I have known to stand up for myself for a long while. Now I must be doing it correctly bcs it’s finally working. Difference between fearful defense and healthy pro activity?

@@metsot I like how you think you know everything about everyone else’s lives. You never saw what they went through. Obviously you have some growing to do.

@@cunningfox831 I don't know obviously ..it's all based on my life experience. I'm 50 ..the growing is done. I'm dying.

Its insane how often it boils down to that tho isn't it? I know I believe in a middle ground, and I do what I can to walk that line hard. But from observations, you're either a people pleaser or looking after yourself first

I think you can absolutely please people and make them happy. As long as it’s not at a detriment to yourself. You wouldn’t want other people to do that for you, so why do it for them?

Hmm... Are the annoyed family members possibly those who inculcated the(our) people pleasing?! NB: Sam Vaknin's youtube on people pleasing v infomative on these psychodynamics.

Idk it was meant to be like this, but this really felt reassuring and gave me a spark of hope. Thanks.

We need more considerate people like you. I had one in May of 2018 and I’ve been since referring to it as a “breakthrough” myself instead of a breakdown because of what I’ve learned from having one and every time you have one you become mentally and emotionally stronger as a result don’t ever loose hope brother because you are never alone Godspeed my friend!!!

Drug the breakdowns and be good little shits that want nothing but school and then work and kids.

Glad it happened I know kno I'm normal the world isnt

@@kelleybright3113 by definition most of the world is normal and you're not. I'm not saying they're better, they're idiots, but they're normal.

Laugh if you want but I would urge yall to look up the side effects. Flouride has now been recognized as a neurotoxin.

Hey yo - are u ok?? I want to tell u that u will be & I'm here for u alright👌 I know you're scared, confused & lonely but u are worth it, never give up - pls let me know how you're going?

@@beejaydee6126 not so good it feels like the whole world is against me these past few weeks and i feel so happy finally someone asked me if im ok

@@annoyingdoggo6913 - I won't say i know what yr going through but i will say u won't feel this way forever..that's a promise. Yr welcome to tell me what's going on in yr life that has u feeling so miserable, I'm happy to hear it☺ I went through a stage only a few years back where it felt like I was crying all day every day, I just wanted to sleep bc it was the only time I'd get to escape the misery & loneliness but my anxiety had become so intense that my mind wouldn't even let me sleep which after months of bare minimum sleep fatigue became a factor...which made everything all the worse for it. Worst part of it all was it seemed not one single soul in this world gave a toss... I can tell u more if yr interested in hearing it but the bottom line is I am now happy, i have unknowingly learnt things that i hadn't in my 42yrs of life & know things that I'm not even sure how or why i know them? Everything that happens in my life & around it comes with crystal clear clarity & I feel an inner strength that is completely empowering. If u had of seen or known me & where my life was at not so long back u wouldn't believe I'm the same person...to give u some perspective how dark life had gotten for me I had begun to consider suicide as an option & it never had even been a thought to me before. All i knew is i couldn't go on the way i was feeling all day everyday.. Pls believe u are not alone, I think yr worth it & I care how yr feeling😉

@@beejaydee6126 i coudnt thank u enough for opening up to me even if im just a stranger u still made me feel like im important

Annoying Doggo right 😂 I don’t know I had one

Exactly

Wait until you have 20 more.

Main Character potential?

@@bluebeka2458 Yes...

So what was your choice? Job or quitting

Not advice to do it, but I had one and dropped out of a funded masters program a few months after I started. Thought I was ready, switched schools and disciplines and dropped out of that one a month after. Moved home, did random things like stain wood on a construction site and become a UPS helper over the holidays just to stay busy. Currently I’m a year out from finishing a PhD (after another discipline switch) and am planning a wedding for next year. I cannot see my life turning out this well if I did not have that period of “breaking down.” Again, not advice to quit your job or anything. But assurance that doing things that may seem “incorrect” at the time in order to take a step back and figure things out may be a good path, even if some people around you just fundamentally don’t understand.

Hope you are doing better now. Its a slow process and a lonely one but i hope for me i become a happier person eventually. 🦋🕊🙏

Thank you very much for your replies. I've quitted since february and I've felt better, relieved, I've also switch disciplines since college and I expect to go back to school next semester. I hope you all doing good.

But a fish in a toxic tank and it will get sick. You can take the fish out and put it in a new fresh tank for a while, it will get better. The moment you put it back in the first tank, it will go back to being sick.

Mind to explain?

This screams to me

Very succinctly put

Spot on!

Or are in control of what is causing it

Break out of the box society put us in, it's a break out not break down.

but crying helps man some times u just got to cry and then ull feel okay. crying is awesome man,

pray

Whatever works for you, embrace it . Don't let any lack of validity from others make you sad . You are of Worth , that's why You are Created by God

that's awesome, thank you.

i wanted to cry when i was reading this ❤ ty. its so true

thank you so, so much for sharing this

💖

A breakdown is not a sunday park picnic.

Both of mine were caused by toxic people and me being a people pleaser. Thankfully my breakdowns moved me away from each of these people.

@@metsot i have it. It sucks!!!!!

Good mental health care allows you that safe space while you build up new support systems, so that the next time life gets you down, you have the right people in place to be with you through that time

to me, a breakdown is like a broken clock. clocks are very finely tuned instruments, and they have lots of little gears inside them. Because they have so many gears, sometimes some grease builds up between the cracks. normally, you don’t notice, the clock keeps ticking as usual, and life is good. but slowly, eventually, the grease builds up to a point where you start to notice. And then the clock stops working. The clock doesn’t stop because of some random, one off event, it’s a gradual build up that’s never been cleaned out. But nobody notices, because all they see is a broken clock

I never bought into the "Fail/succeed" bullsheet. Failed in comparison to whom? Bernie Madoff? "The Loser now will be later to win"- Bob Dylan

What do you mean your body stopped working? You got too depressed to move?

Congratulations:)

ur ears* its ok tho, ur going thru a breakdown

@@kevinkim6664 thanks for pointing it out. Hahaha.

I totally agree with you but it is annoying to hear that when you haven’t reached a stage where you can agree that it made you a better person after all.

I just had mental breakdown and right after I felt better.

@@decsterrobles8421 mkdf;ag m/uoiqo8ihr l;jnm

It's gonna be okay. Hang in there

you gotta keep on going! Don't lose hope! I send you a hug

I'm going through something remarkably similar. Mind, body, goals, friendships, so much deteriorated over the past few years, so many loved ones literally and figuratively lost. I have learned from this though that it's not healthy to bottle it up and hide it away, that I need to take the time to grieve and then it's okay to be sad in the face of so many tragedies. You have to take the time to grieve it, learn how to let your mistakes go instead of holding on to and living in regret. You can always approach and apologize to old friends and try to heal old wounds as well, and you've got the time to recognize now where your energy belongs and who is bad for you and who is good. Hold on to the good ones, make compromises, apologize, and step out of the old rolls and into the new ones that fulfill your need for belonging and love. Best of luck to you, I'm still struggling everyday as well. I was lucky enough to find a free counseling and I've been sticking to it, and it came at no small expense but I began ketamine therapy in 5 days as well that I hope will break me through my depression feedback loops. My counselor may have openings as well, contact me with a DM or simply reply to my comment and I can refer you to them.

Please do not take my words into action but take them into consideration. Perhaps trying to regain what you once had, be who you once were or do what you once did is not what you need. From my experiance of depression and a burnout i learned to listen to what i really needed or wanted and celebrated what i had gained instead of thinking about how much i still had to do. Im now in a different place then where i was before with new friends and new hobby's, and with the ability to listen to what i need and what my body needs. This might have be a ver incoherent (if thats the right word) but these were the words that came to my mind first. Again, please dont take my words into action but take them into consideration. I wish you all the best in your path to recover and hope you will be better someday :)

You sound a little bit like me. As people get older, they will add more important things into their lives; family, job, colleague, friend, money, love, etc. I was also like that, until i had a breakdown and can't get myself to work on anything i promised myself to do. I just sit down, not going anywhere, not doing anything. I kept pondering until i reached a conclusion: chasing two horses isn't getting me anywhere, so rather than adding things/goals into my life, how about i throw away and reduce them instead? And so i threw all things that i want, all things i thought i want, all goals that is reachable yet i haven't done, all the time to "socialize" with other people, etc. And i came to discover that ONE thing i truly want and truly desire with all my being. That thing at the bottom of my "things to throw away" list. It gets my heart and body running like a horse on fire. And from then on i started to work, FOR JUST THAT ONE THING. I was (hyper)focused, not thinking about anything or anyone, but just that single thing, day and night. And guess what, i find myself out of that standstill, regained my vigor, my brain and body works in sync, and i learned to keep myself away from reaching to things i wouldn't grab.

@yon can correct

I agree, I've learned best the hard way.

I like that and believe that

I hope I can say the same things in a year. Happy to hear your life became better!

Feels great! Hahaha I tend to have one once a year due to frustration but it feels so refreshing to let it all out 😂

I really appreciate that image right now. It's palpable in a way that helps me connect with my own breakdowns and reminds me to trust them a bit more. Anyway, thanks.

taigatayo

taigatayo if god is real he's such a sadistic pos.

slevinlindsay It’s been 9 years and I’m still waiting for this “freshness”.

Irrefutably evidence says, yeah ideally you've got all your lifestyle stuff in order, diet, exercise, therapy, interpersonal relations/support group wise, those all are great for mental health BUT when you're in the middle of the struggle, thats when its hardest to fix/initiate those things and meds are very useful in getting your baseline up to a point where we can take that multimodal approach.

eh

Very true. Not everyone is equipped to just "break down" and come out the other side improved, or even at all.

@@vystormI have bi polar disorder . I have to take meds or I go crazy

@@gordont1767 I just don't like SSRIs or similar, I'll agree more when medical microdosing replaces them, or at least comes along as an alternative, in more than just Canada

Your comment is really beautiful and encouraging. I hope I can help you a bit with all the pressure you are feeling. Please don't feel a need to be perfect or to please others by being the perfect person. What is perfection anyway? Each person views perfection differently and if we try to please others, we will forever fall short. I have found that doing my best each day is good enough, otherwise we can make ourselves sick with all the stress. If I know that I got up each day and did my best, then that is good enough and it doesn't matter what others think. Strive for inner peace and joy from within instead of seeking it from the outside. It is always the simple things in life that lead to a more joyful life. Not being tied down feeling like you never achieve anything, but feeling like each day is new for you to achieve your best with no pressure, just joy and gratitude for life. Take nature walks and see the beauty all around. It's not always the striving that gets us places, but the calm and quiet times that help us grow the most. Just a thought on alcohol. You may want to strive for not drinking at all because it always leads to more troubles and causes many health problems, and is a depressant. Drinking almost always leads down a road of misery with nothing at the end of it. Strive to be sober and get joy out of living a good and healthy life by being an example of health to others. Hope you have a beautiful and abundant life.

Literally me except that I procrastinate on my studies. I really wish I knew what to do at this point. I feel like I’m so behind in my studies that I’m considering dropping out, but I’m worried about letting everyone down. I CHOSE to go to the college I’m at, and now I’m wasting my opportunity because of my inner struggles. And even if I did drop out, I don’t know where to go next. I can’t choose another college to go to, I already tried two other colleges and ended up the same way. And doing another part-time job might ruin my super-unpredictable schedule with my current part-time job. I feel like it should be an easy answer, but it’s not as clear-cut as it should… Sorry for ranting on like that. I think I needed to vent. Anyways, I’m glad that someone had the same issue as me.

Hmm, I also just started college and I FEEL like I will break at somepoint as well... I chose to go to a college without my friends (which was a 6th form so everyone i know went there) and now I'm stranded without friends, and I'm starting to question if everything I've done is even my choice. Like I've been doing maths, and computer science but I feel so damn bored every lesson and i can see any job related to them being the same experience... Idk anymore

Hmm, one question: how are you getting your hands on alcohol in the first place if you’re under 21? It’s illegal to even be in possession of it before that age! Do you realize how many crimes you’re unintentionally committing right now? Not trying to be rude; just genuinely wondering what you’re doing here.

@@mbcommandnerd I'm guessing they live in a different country which has a lower age limit for alcohol

That's nirmal

Because WORLD must go ON. We men HAVE to pile up our but-hurt feelings get everything working . Water , food , internet , electric it all comes for someones hard work and pain. When you just do some real work and not think too much about it gets better.

Luis Unbekannt take a bunch of lsd and then you’ll know

I went through 6 months of existential crisis late 2016. I learned about myself .. I learned about the world and was interested in every subject out there, math and art which I never thought I'd be interested in. In the end I really got into psychology also a subject I never thought I'd like. I'd read throughout the day, exercise daily and the whole day I had this sixth sense where I could feel the universe as being part of me. I took plenty of notes about everything I was learning about myself. It's been almost 3 years since then and my life is going well, though there's always room for improvement of course. I sometimes wish I could experience what I experienced then, because of how I handled it and used the whole thing for my own advantage. If you are going through it and are not sure how to deal with it, here is a hint that'll transform the way it'll affect you in a positive manner: TAKE NOTES. Lots of them. Right goals, habits, things that need improvement. USE YOUR MEMORY. Most of us are going through this because of things that happened during or since our childhood. So think as far back as you can and connect every dot since then and make it VIVID. I also use my memorable childhood memories to cope with depression. It never disappoints. I envy people who are going through existential crisis because you're seeing the world as it is. For people who are not, there's this filter in our minds which is constantly filtering out all the metadata that is attached to everything we experience. Well, it makes since because the world is in a faster pace for most of us, though I prefer being able to slow things down.

Glad to have a fellow Filipino here in this channel!

Queen yes I learned to slow down a lot

What does getting over it really means ?

I hope i get to this point someday

It surely is!

Queen i hope so..

so well put.

How do you go about it? Words of advice would really help. Lately been digging my head into stuff around the house (since I quit my job, and am rediscovering myself). But I want to also achieve things and not just wallow in my feelings. I notice strong headaches for the past three days and unsure why. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.

I’m so glad you’re still here ❤️

@@GayleCreates Have you tried the Mood Gym website? There is also a book available from Amazon (also called Mood Gym) available in paperback or on Kindle. Amazon also have a huge selection of books about building self esteem and confidence. It sounds like you are already on the right path by prioritising self care. Good nutrition, regular sleep, fresh air and exercise are essential for our wellbeing. Reading fiction and listening to gentle meditative music (available on RU-vid) can also be helpful. A short course of anti depressants may be helpful in lifting your mood if you feel unable to cope initially. Everyone is different but art, music and nature are all wonderful healers. Write down 3 things you are grateful for each day and build from there. Best wishes 😊💕

@@GayleCreates I'm no professional, but trying to figure out what your mental health really needs by looking inside and discovering what your body really wants (even if contrary to social opinion, like hard work or a passion) is a good way to start.

Yes! And if you don’t, it’s probably going to show up in physical symptoms.

@@anxylum true

THIS. 👏👏👏 If only I knew what my depression is telling me. Kinda annoying that’s it’s not a clear and direct message. 😕

@@NaviNeku24 to start with it’s telling you to pay attention and look deeper into your own needs and desires and perceptions. That’s what it told me

I don’t think this can be said for everyone. For many people, depression comes as a result of a chemical imbalance in their brain, not from any kind of internal or external conflict. While there often is a very real reason for why someone is feeling unwell, there are also many instances where there isn’t one, and meds are important to help someone recover from their body making a mistake. It’s very important to identify when medication is necessary and take action.

A blessing in disguise! Hoping for the best for you.

I'm glad you're still here and hope you're feeling well today

Lashun A. Sure! So there was a conspiracy theory circulating that the government can actually view & keep track of our actions/activities through the little cameras on our phones, laptops, etc. (that’s why some folks put band-aids or opaque tape over their lenses). The joke is that every person is assigned their own personal FBI agent to monitor their every move. Part of the joke is to use this as the reason we often will find adverts on social media or internet browsing of things we looked up or talked about needing or wanting to get. The internet has personified these “personal FBI agents” as friendly who look out for us and recommend things that would help us out or give us indirect advice.

stop trying to stop the breakdowns. stop trying to push them under the rug, and just have a moment to let it all out. cut your hair, punch a wall, cry into a pillow, do everything all at once and let your anger and sadness and rage out in a big mess, you can clean it up later.

And now, due to its utterly toxic premise, the culture itself is breaking the world down and when enough supports have fallen it will go down too, probably fairly soon. The only thing that can save humanity is to dissolve the artificial boundary imposed between it and nature. That can only occur through conscious awakening. I don't know if it can happen en masse. Jiddu Krishnamurti's aphorism is relevant on all levels that I can think of.

Socity still haven't figured out the true nature of reality, and deep down, they know that life has more to it then they believe

You can't be truly happy when you're so deeply deceived about the greatest metaphysic truths

Jonathan Wholohan very well said!

Me too.

Hope you're able to take as much time as you need. It's hard to not feel guilty but just trust yourself and know that you're worth it.

Every time me too even though I know I need it 😭

I tend to think some of it is EGO driven, I can muster through, I am to strong to cry about this or that or worse yet I don't need help I can do it all myslef I also think that there is disconnect from our spiritual side. As we are spiritual beings having a human experience we sometimes forget to connect to ourselves on a deep level, to take a breath and experience the joy life has to offer vs running on the wheel or chasing our tail for material gains. Just my two cents.

TsiroGant I’m so glad! Thank you for reading! Jess Yates I definitely agree that it feels like it’s ego driven for sure. I think that plays into the idea that we’re told from a young age how to be as ourselves and how to be in the world, and sometimes that means not crying or putting up some sort of emotional front, when our true selves feel really differently. Edit to add: and I absolutely agree, we could all stand to enjoy our lives in the moment more and spend less mental energy pushing ourselves toward some ideal that may not actually be ours in the first place :)

Is been a long time now since money has become more important than anything else, I think this has damaged our species tremendously, we are truly amazing and have soooo much to offer the planet, we could make this our dream planet if we wanted to, but this society we live in has made us selfish and money hungry and left us on a really though spot. I believe that with the sweet arrival of the internet everything could change though, I don´t think we´re completely doomed by any means.

Christina Schreiner I agree . This video was amazing until it called the conscious mind lazy. If anything it's fear. We are taught what is important and it seems like everyone around us follows that , so will learn to distrust ourselves. With that means to supress our feelings . Avoiding pain and confusion and grief or whatever word you relate to must is not lazy . It's scary. Terrifying , when everyone around you thinks you should live by a certain norm yet your emotional needs are screaming out at you , it's no wonder we will be scared . We aren't taught how to cater for our emotions properly so of course we push it away because we don't understand it and that scares us

Congrats and good luck! I wish you all the best for your SW degree. I'm sure you will make some people's lives better.

Just don't drink the Socialist Injustice Koolaid and start hating.

@@TheJeremyKentBGross For sure, man. I'm all for personal accountability and self agency.

G Same here. Glad to know others can relate. I'm slowly but surely getting to a better place. Live YOUR best life.

all the best. kind of in that 'me' cocoon too.

G How have you done that?It feels daunting to change all the things one wants to change even if they know it will make them happier?

Darima2: Everyone's situation is different of course, I was relatively lucky because my problems (stemming from adoption and immigration) actually forced me to think and fend for myself so from a young age I started learning about suffering (via Buddhism), mental and physical health and success. I had also gained years of skills and experience in tech so was able to take time off - personal and financial independence was KEY for me. I needed my own space to just be with myself, listen to my mind and body and act honestly according to them rather than faking it for my job or social circles. However I would not recommend prolonged isolation - if you have supportive family/friends around you, ask them for help. Trying to think your way out of your own mind can become a vicious trap in itself.

G I completely understand this and went through this too and now looking back it all makes sense why panic attacks started to happen. That’s why I’ve come to understand that panic attacks are the body’s way of really alerting us and getting our attention because we haven’t been paying attention for so long. Once I started to embark on the difficult journey of self discovery, the panic attacks slowly started leaving me. It is crazy how it works, but it all makes sense

How are you doing ? Lol I’ve been having a very hard time :(

Luny & Milky yeah it was hard to click on it knowing that well... It was going to bring some stuff up. But the deft advice is appreciated all the same. This is a great channel.

yep, it sure has a great deal of intense messages!

Omg.. I thought the same.. I wish this was an event in my life rather than a phase. But I am glad that after a decade I have made the decision to get out of it. All the best to you! Lots of blessings and best wishes :) you are about to start a beautiful life!

Luny & Milky true

Thank you; best to you too x')

Same I was just chatting with a friend who reached out after seeing a facebook status I wrote.I am bi polar self medicated this year has been awful and I'm not feeling like I can handle a breakdown every month I hit the wall yesterday she shared shes been feeling same.My son took his life 13 years ago at 25 years old i never recovered or had any positive change on that breakdown.Iim thinking more and more like i want to join him but I would fuck it up like everything else Hang in there I'm going to give it a while longer I have had depression all my life but not like this.

@@twistedthrifterb6220 I’m sending your positivity, prayers, love and strength. May you heal 🙌🏾❤️

Depression makes you do only the bare minimum. Depression is everywhere.

ignorance can be bliss, but also many are just unaware what you even are suggesting. They'd say "I go to the gym. I read nonfiction books. I watch the news. I go on vacations to exotic places. What else is personal growth?"

informitas 0 That doesn’t mean to do nothing to improve, or use cognitive reappraisal etc etc. Most people don’t even attempt to do anything and just brag or place in comments on RU-vid like a disorder is quirky.

They are ignorant or just the plato prisoners

Depression is a serious thing, there was even something that said depression is the 3d popular mental illness in the world, and why can't people who feel as if nothing's worth it any more it can be for more then one reason why there not doing personal growth, to even do personal growth you have to be aware of your situation and want to do better for yourself and a lot of the time people feel, ashamed to tell anyone, think it's there fault, scared, and sometimes the people around them don't understand, or refuse to, in a lot of cases they feel like there's nothing more for them here.

If my professionals hadn't stuck with me I would have killed myself. I've stopped trying to cope many times and it did nothing but get me into an even worse mess. Humans are complex, minds are complex. Much more so than this video lets on.

Had my third infront of over 50 students.

to rise first you have to hit the bottom...

It's like looking at a broken mirror and trying to fix it, while your fixing the shards you realize some make you bleed some hurt more than others. I am still trying to pick up the pieces. From my experience of botched attempts to kill the pain.... I felt stupid that it didn't work, I could even do that right. Got made fun of by people for using it for attention. I'm going to sound old a.f right now but I think social media really plays a big part in breakdowns depression and suicide.... I wish I was still young and pick up the land line and hear the God awful sound of the modem. I can't keep up with this world. I shut EVERYONE out.... I don't know how to open the door in my head to let the pain out.

Debbie Hatton third what?

Lilium Louise 😻

Solutionist ' exactly. Fucking schools.

The word "Education" is plain sarcasm in that monumental misnomer

I recall when I had a meltdown I was walking along a not too bust street and just started crying....it prompted me to see a counsellor and help in the form of just someone who'd listen to me

mood, indeed

My nervous breakdown makes me sick because I cry a lot during the breakdown.

They're likely too small and too weak to prompt the change needed to fix the major issue. You'll either get a really big one at some point or live the rest of life out in your current broken state. That, or you harshly overreact. Which would be a preferable reality haha.

Same

Remember that, every time you've hit a terrible period, you've managed to recover (at least to a limited extent). I, too, go through these cycles regularly but have drawn some strength by recognizing that I am able to come out the other side, not perfectly happy but able to press on for at least a while longer.

William Evans your comment has really helped me see one more day through. Thank you, all the best to you 🙏🏻

Now that sounds a little more like a real "a breakdown".

"Enough of that persona didacted by society." Then what happens if you don't have a choice? Like you work from 9 to 5, everyday on a job you don't like, but because the governments around the world made sure this so-called "capitalist" system is depended on governments to function by creating a central currency, working-class regulations, increasing taxes, all that makes it nearly unbearable to live with a minimum wage because everything is hella expensive thanks to all that intervention... You are limited. Your creativity is fucked because you have too much shit going on. I always wanted to be a musician, a producer, live off my art, but this bullshit system enslaves us to the point of getting anxious if we don't get a job asap; overvaluing a fucking major diploma that for a large number of people goes to the locker. This world man, I don't know.

@@thedarkestlotus Get a job, work it, plan and have fun.

AIWATE me too

Ever since my breakdown I've been experiencing a total lack of interest in purchasing things or keeping up the trends on Instagram. It makes me wonder, am I broken? I catch myself second guessing the little actions I take when I venture outside. It's terrifying and reassuring at the same time. The breakdown is over, but how long more until I feel back to normal? What can I do to make myself feel not so out of place anymore?

miele hina it just takes time but you’ll get there I’m 2 years into one and I’m almost back to normal sometimes it takes longer for some people but you have to do what works best for your growth maybe church and prayer? That’s what helps me most are you religious at all?

Myrna Figueroa isn’t that how life is? Everything you listed seems very average. Death, life, survival, etc? Isn’t that what we’re all bound to go through?

I think you are very strong 💪

Wowww...you sound like a very strong person to go through that much adversity and still raise children and grandchildren! They must really look up to you. Yesss...self care time is so important. Time to sit down with yourself and do what makes you happy and brings you joy. Thank you for posting your testimony :)

Sounds like my mom

I hope you're doing better 💕

thank you so much for sharing

False adertising. Breakdowns are that time when i question my actions and my importance as a human being. I had so many yet i failed to get to the conclusion to the question wtf am i here for. Meybe things are good now, but in the future who knows? We tend to fill our life with delusions of importance, but in the universe scale we are just dust on a tiny particle that floats in the vacum of space. Where i was going with this? Idk what my point is. Oh yeah, i'm useless. Idk about you guys but for me seems true.

@@bluebeka2458 Well you can also draw different conclusions from the fact that we're nothing on a cosmic scale. None of it really means anything according to that logic, but then why would you spend your time feeling sad about that fact? And why would you care about other people's opinion if none of it actually matters? I thought of life as a dream: it doesn't really "matter" but you still ejoy/try to enjoy it regardless because it can be fun.

Absolutely!

I love this!!!!!

As in the past, so in the future.

The Earth: Why are we here... Just to suffer...?
