where are you on your road to understanding and dealing with your illness?

this is something I thought of just now, it reminds me of what they asked me at church last weekend. Where are your spiritual path...?

I think we may have ups and downs and then clarity in our forward motion through life... I just don't know, though I feel good now and like I have a better grasp on certain things,if our journeys with illness can be a 'progressive one?' I'd love to hear feed back about that.

I guess it can be progressive and we can learn things about how to cope... I know though for all of us it will be punctuated by some real highs and lows - good times and bad.. and normal ones too.

So I guess that's two questions... :)

thanks,
Peace,

Mark

i was a caveman drawing crude little pictographs not long ago
i feel newtonian, waiting for the apple to drop,

then of course einstein is the paradigm, and i hope e=mc2 doesn't nuke my melon.

as for spiritual, i wish i could explain it, but we've all died so many times already in this life, and it is for the most part thrown off with a shrug.

good post mark.

So many theories around today and how I fight it slightly differs each time. Usually when I think I've overcome my illness and this is a new stage of my life...It's hospital time for me....So honestly don't know where I'm at. .So theses days I get scared the most when everything's going smoothly and I have clarity Battening down the hatches...Just in case!

However the withdrawals are something I have little progression with fighting or want too. As a therapist said once ".I just need a lot of alone time and always will."

I woke up thinking about this post and I wanted to apologize for it. I think in good times I can get blind to how rough it can be and I hope I didn't piss off any body.

I know we're all taking it day by day. Peace to you guys!

No it's cool mark, nothing sinister here. As Mojo said It's a good post for discussion but would come up with varied responses. As you do on a public forum.

I believe in evolution of a persons understanding of their life and their illness if they search out answers and even learn from the down periods as well as just the ups. Everytime I have a psychotic break I eventually come out of it in a very pensive, self (or selfish) exploratory stage where I try to understand why what happened happened. I come out wiser in the end. I believe even non ill persons grow and learn more about themselves and their place and purpose as they grow older. I think it is a natural thing in human nature to have a desire to grow wiser and more understanding.

If you are talking about evolution as a species then poppycock.
