Yeah, I’ve had a rough ride too. Speaking on that chalk board scratcher, science utterly failed me in my healing process from trauma and mental health. Matter of fact, the very things “experts” say not to do is giving me the most peace: forgetting, compartmentalizing and unlearning. I have experienced that loneliness and seclusion in a very profound way, especially the more I talked about my situation and my trauma to bright eyed ignorant people, who seem to always be an expert on things they don’t intimately know. I got off medication after years of trial and error and talk therapy never helped at all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very glad they were there for me and tried to help, and maybe they did in ways unmeasurable, but at the end of the day I’m my own savior. I’m in a transitional state right now from “scientifically studied” methods of recovery which failed, and moving on with a more spiritual approach I suppose. Religion failed me, science failed me, people failed me… I’m at the point of wanting to become the most ignorant person ever, just to produce peace and stability in my life. Just because I don’t show my wisdom with meaningless words doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on. I think if you were truly at peace with yourself you wouldn’t need to wave around your “accomplishments” to feel important. Most people don’t care anyways. My advice for that dude is to zip his lips and get to scratchin’. I’m sorry you’re going through so much, not everybody realizes how bad life can get.

I’m sorry about what you’re going through =/. My mom gets under my skin until I bubble over with emotions I keep hidden inside and need to release. We love each other, just can’t live together.
