    • About Me

      "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" - Jiddu Krishnamurti ---------------------------------------------------Hey - you've made it! - this (perhaps unwelcomed) point in time could change your life - if you accept that I have something to share with you that might shake at your reality, and attempt to give you an awareness of where you are, why you're here (in a historical sense), and how you can take control - to know the power you have.------------------------------------------------------www.zeitgeisttrailer.com------------------------------------------------------------ Or you could just read about me. My name is Mike, in the eyes of society I am unemployed - but have no real desire to work for murderers and slaveowners, so feel little to no guilt at my social disposition. It often comes across that I think I'm better than others, ironically it has nearly always been the opposite until the past year. I am my own worst enemy and nothing matters more to me than integrity but I often sacrifice 'too much' for it. Telling the truth has lost me friends and caused me to gain enemies - but I don't do or say anything to achieve popularity. I learnt a fantastic ammount in the past two years but particularly this one - I didn't go to college - I most certainly didn't go to university. So for whatever reason you are here, particularly if it is 'mental illness' I think - well, I KNOW - we should ALL be asking WHY am I 'ill'? Why are so many of us 'ill?' Who's sick? You, or society?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result." Mahatma Gandhi ~

    • Hug

      From Steveypooos Yesterday

      Would appreciate a rational opinion on my journal before I am lazily accused of being something I am clearly not.

    • Hug

      From Steveypooos Thursday

      Let's talk about how much more horrific an act of terror on American soil is when compared to a similar act in any other country.

    • Hug

      From Sabishi Thursday

      Hmmms, I sent you an IM lemme know if u get it. If not I will have to submit..

    • Hug

      From Sabishi Thursday

      It had a hand in my last computer's slaying! I'll never forgive it!

    • Hug

      From EverythingsOkay Thursday

      Hey, sorry I took ages to reply. I tend to disappear like that sometimes :P
      Hmm, that link won't work for me. I looked up your guitar though and it seems pretty decent. I really would recommend the takamine - great sound for a tiny price. It was my brother's before, so it's really mellowed out nicely. How long have you been playing?

      Yeah, I did read what your wrote on the isolation post. You are right, but it's not just that. I'm just sick of people in general. Sick of 'doing things', of talking, of all that crap. Sure, I'm lonely, but the alternative doesn't appeal to me anymore. I know how messed up that might sound, but I don't think it's my depression anymore. I think it's just me. Or everything else.

      Actually, I'm feeling better than I have felt in ages. I've started writing again. Maybe I'll start recording again too. Probably won't last but oh well, I'm used to that haha.

      Thanks for stopping by. How're you?
      By the way, I just saw your pics and read your profile - kudos *nods* ;]

    • Close Loneliness

      I'm not so easy going. I have strong beliefs. It makes for a lonely existance. I find it so hard to tolerate creatures of leisure and self indulgence who give nothing back to the world. Most of us. Guilty myself, only in my eyes through series of unfortunate life events. Cancer, depression, insomnia, emotional abuse/bullying and anxiety..

    • Open Anxiety

      Random. Now my biggest obstacle apposed to depression. Mostly Social anxiety. Not good for musicians

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      It's a battle, feels like I have the two characters on my shoulder. I literally argue with myself in my head, gives me a headache.
    • Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      Yeh, when you learn so much about how ignorant and shallow the vast majority of the human race is, you start feeling very uncomfortable around them

    • Open Family Issues

      They're ignorant assholes most of the time. My mum is the only person remotely endureable, even so we've had our moments. My dad has once pushed me against a wall, and once, recently, hit me.

      Treatments

      It can't change your family.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I tried to keep a diary for evidence of things they did and said, i didn't update it often enough. Only ever showed it to 2-3 people max in my life.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Consistent emotional bullying from my family growing up and all sorts of bullying in high school

      Treatments

      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Being so sensitive and listening to the wrong music makes you feel worse. It CAN help but you have to be in the right frame of mind. Couldn't live without it anyway.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Can't reverse the damage
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Venting .. I would vent a lot to my friends. They got very fed up with me.. but I was so angry all the time.
