    Matt…I admit it was a little wake up call to see you respond to this post as well. I felt like a basket case of issues lol.
    I am engaging in merciless self flogging…whatever that means (it sounds about right) and I need to just go with the flow, push myself out of my comfort zone a bit and loosen up to life.

    I was this way a couple years back until one simple failure pushed me back under fear. Time to get out and act like life is something to be celebrated, because it is!

    Thanks for your kind responses.

    Meditate. Go out into nature, do fun things with your partner and live. No thinking

    I can resonate with you so much. The problem at root is social anxiety. You/we see the world differently whan most people. We have no interest in getting to know new people because the fear eventually led to a hardening which led to a numbness in that area. It’s not healthy because human beings are mean to be social beings even if for just a fraction of the day. I struggle with wanting to have a rich social life while also wanting to be alone to recharge.

    There is an untapped power within that you must release. The thought of waking up in 5 years from now and being in the same predicament would be a rude awakening. Take back your life now and get out of your comfort zone. It seems scary but think of it this way: we are all nothing but meat and flesh coated skeletons with brains. The opinions of individuals comes from there own conditioning. Live in your own truth, meditate and get out as much as you can. Be curious.

    Now excuse me while I go apply some of my own advice to my own life. 🙂
    Keep your head up!

    I know how you feel because I am currently in this situation and instead of being in an unhealhty relationship with a man, I experience this same unhealthiness with my mother and it feels like I can’t up and leave because we both split living costs. It would be tough without her. I don’t have much advice to give you since I am in my own bend, but I want you to know that there is someone else out here in the same boat as you are and I know the feelingso f despair because I feel them everyday. Keep you head up and if I were in your position I would find a way to escape which is what I am trying to do but with more clarity as to which direction to move in. The burdens can keep wieghing us down if we don’t climb out.

    It reminds me of a recent story in the news where this man was a horder and he kept collecting things that did not serve him. A few years later he was found dead underneath all of his ‘junk’…his burden. Sometimes you just have to escape from it all. If not physically, at least in mind (meditation) everyday for as long as you can.

    Hops and hugs,
