Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hello everyone, I have valued this group for years and just decided the other night, while looking up the stars, that I was going to make a couple statements here. Most of my friends live in different states, but I have been fortunate enough to round up a few close ones here where I live. I am constantly frustrated though, even though I try to remain calm and loving; my friends, including my boyfriend (at times), interrupt, don't pay attention, change the subject, lose interest, space out, I am being very serious here, this is very hard to accept sometimes. I have quit 2 jobs in the past several months because of the high unnecessary stress levels in the workplace. People are so gossipy and mean, so passive aggressive in that they are nice to someones face and then turn around and talk behinds that persons back. I know life is tough for everyone these days, but I am seeing dim and feeling grim of all of this seemingly A.D.D. nonsense. Maybe I shouldn't have chosen to live in a city where everyone moves so fast, rushing around, going nowhere, and forever failing to just watch the clouds go by. Maybe I should slip everyone some kava kava in their bottomless cups of coffee or pop.(just kidding) Or perhaps I should move to a sleepy quiet town on top of a mountain. Who knows? I'm tired of speaking passionately about something, to someone, while watching them look the other way, or worse, interrupt me with a story of their own, about themselves. I'm not boring, nor is what I speak of; at least I don't think so, and I always give people the " time of day. " love and light brookelyn HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Hi, After reading this description of your ADD " experience " it really sounds like something else, not ADD. Even if there were something " like " ADD, it doesn't actually represent a clinical condition. Have you read the book, Rediscovering Real Medicine, by Jean Elmiger? I suggest this as a way of introducing you to homeopathic solutions that may be of more sue to you than quitting jobs, and constantly feeling frustrated. You CAN change the way you feel, no matter what the situation, and indeed you must in order to function in the increasingly hostile world that we seem to be living in. I recommend that you use NSOL: NSOL is made of 4 remedies: Natrum mur, Staphysagria, Opium, Lachesis Nat-m for grief, loss Staph for anger, violation of self Opium for fear and being stuck Lach for self-directed guilt and jealousy Use each of the remedies at the same time, in the 30C potency. You may be disadvantaged if you don't know how to use homeopathy, but these remedies make up the standard treatment for nearly all conditions, and provide a basis for other healing to take place, if that's truly what you are seeking. I would also consider getting a good book on NLP, like Heart of the Mind by Connierae Andreas, to take control of your life again, and regain your personal power. For too long, it sounds like you have allowed others to determine how you feel, rather than YOU determining what your moods are going to be. You are the captain of your ship, ,and only you can decide who makes you sad, , mad or glad. Fill your life with happy people and determine to be one of those " happy " people. You don't have to be FAKE. What you do have to do, is to manage your emotions better, which is why I suggest starting with homeopathy to unlock the trap you seem to be feeling in many areas. If your problem was really ADD, I'd suggest the remedy Medorrhinum, which is a treatment for ADD, and it's actually the treatment for gonorrhea. When dealing with the genetic miasms homeopathically, all the sexual disorders are dealt with, and in many theories of homeopathy, they support that all disease results from the root of sexually determined genetic miasms. This would make sense to a wholistic practitioner who sees the reproductive functions of the body as the same as the regenerative functions. They are inseparable. What I am hearing you say, isn't that you are sick, injured or otherwise unhealthy, but that you are unable to " create " the life that you desire due to circumstances that you feel are outside of your control. Of course, this is a disabling lie from hell, and you have in fact, begun creating your new path by sharing your needs on a list like this. Once you not only perceive the control that you've always have had, but begin to FUNCTION effectively within your chosen activities without " reacting " but ACTING the way you want to in more situations in your life, then it will matter less and less to you that there are people who are snotty, gossipy, mean, passive aggressive, etc. because they will have no impact on your emotional health. I have found that homeopathy does this quite nicely, by handing control of your emotions back over to you.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Brookelyn: Though it is a rather harsh statement you make, I do agree somewhat with what you say about everyone moving so fast and going nowhere in the big cities today. People are in fact under a lot of stress, fear, and anxiety today, and modern life just doesn't provide much support for living fully in the present moment. At the same time, when it comes to our criticisms of others, it may be helpful to remember, as some great teachers have said, that " we see in others what we are unable to see in ourselves. " Another way to put this is that " our being attracts our life. " So, finally, it may come down to beginning to " listen " to ourselves more sincerely from the inside. In doing so, we might see that many of the things we criticize in others are the very things that are often operative in ourselves--although we mostly refuse to see them. It's quite a shock--but very freeing--to realize that in many ways we create the world that we perceive. And so does everyone else. This can bring us a real sense of compassion both for ourselves and others. And this compasion will, in fact, begin to change our relationships and make them more creative and fulfilling. I recently wrote a short piece on " listening " and another on " relationship " that you might enjoy.
