relatable - just had a complete fucking public meltdown in an airport - sobbed uncontrollably in front of strangers, lectured airline staff about humanity, walked away from my belongings without noticing, felt every shit thing that happened in the past 3 weeks suddenly shatter my psyche like an iron mallet. simply couldn't cope - feeling very unhinged - a stranger drove me home - all my travel belongings are gone - I don't know what to do. I'm going to walk 20km - cause I don't know what to do

How long have you been off the meds now?

The human brain is geared for one thing and one thing only as a priority and that is survival. 

So we are always operating in the guise of that constraint, whether conscious or subconscious. 

and the hard thing to accept, is a lot of what people do, that maybe you don’t understand, or don’t like, or judge people for- at one point, was implemented or became a learner behavior of some sort, a conditioning, in order to purport survival in some way, whether emotional or otherwise. 

they needed it, for whatever reason, for their own survival. And that’s what worked for them. 

i know these quote posts are totally cheesy but here's some screengrabs that i was feeling at the moment :) 

Sometimes our success is measured by a summary of our sacrifice.

 I know, it's kind of relevant, thus: she won't say.

 And sociologically the health of a society could be considered congruent with diversity. Meaning, it’s a dynamic process, and all the parts make a complete whole or benefits the whole. Even if there are parts you do not personally like, this is part of the diversity of a human society, and it matters or has its role or purpose. You just might not understand it in a micro level, but in a macro sense it may play out favorably. 

Basically what I’m saying is “Come as you are”  but, no really. No, really. Come as you really, really are.

Have to remind myself. You choose things. 

Like sure, things happen to you. But you choose your life and what is being made of that. 

Why does being told we're in control work towards pacification? It's totally a thing for people, but being in control of stuff personally isn't really fun either. 

in this case it is a call to action to seek out change or align yourself with possibilities that will allow for it, rather than enduring a circumstance and then complaining about it. It’s taking responsibility. 

It’s sort of in line with the whole thing: What do you want? Okay, and what are you doing to get it. 

Is this you then trying to say that you are where you are because you wanted to be here, and therefor everything you have must be things you want? 

 No I’m saying that, what you are doing in life, is a direct cause of what you get in life. So, if you are dissatisfied with what you got- it’s because of what you are doing. A reminder to take a look at what you do, and a reminder what you get is a direct by product of the effort or actions etc you put in.

I would say another reason why people are so dysfunctional is because we're inhabiting a world that has outpaced our own evolution.

We're designed to live in relatively small, well-connected tribal societies, and instead we're thrown into cities of millions where we know a handful of people that are geographically quite spread out. Contributes to a sense of isolation and lack of security. We're also sociable and empathetic, so seeing constant images of human suffering from all over the world is a big ask. 

Begs the question of how to stay sane in a world you don't belong in. I don't have a good answer to that unfortunately, trial and error is my approach.
