Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Thank you ALL for taking the time to reply. Forgive me for seeking the attention - but if there is ONE affirmation I would like to take on, it is this.. " I deserve it " .... Because dear friends I am not very useful like this! I believe there is a purpose for my life that will make sense of everything. However, I currently feel immobilised by my mind. It is like two people in my head who just don't get on! In fact it is like having my mum on one side (the most positive person I know) and my dad on the other (the most negative person I know) What I am about to write is not meant as some excuse or justification of events. I am hearing from you guys what I need to hear for my benefit am I not?! Can I just write this because it will release some pent up thoughts..?.. And then, I will print of the replies you have already sent and get REAL with myself. I have read just about every self-help, and Spiritual/metaphysical book I can get hold of and afford. Originally having interest as a Christian I since explored the field of healing. (I am no longer religious) The one thing I do believe is BELIEF being all there is. It is one thing acquiring Spiritual knowledge etc and another applying this knowledge to life. In any event Spiritual knowing isn't understood by the mind in anycase. You kinda have to BE the knowledge – Perhaps I am stuck somewhere here then? Why doesn't my mind surrender to the truth? Or put it another way - Why isn't my mind a servant to my heart's truth? There is something " missing " with me, even whilst I do KNOW " God " I can give a piece of " my God " to others and feel it in return - but... I am a big affirmation fan! I will make more of it - I DO promise that to myself TODAY. The only thing that I can really explain right now is feelings of isolation, abandonment and lack of purpose. It seems like an excuse to " blame " everything on my environment because the change comes from within before I will see outer possibilities. However, I feel so cut off. It is not even the past that haunts me most. It is the waking to the here and now of my current position in life and my actual surroundings. Until I create wellness it is inappropriate to move. Yet I wake up with a huge void (and feeling unwell physically) Each day the only purpose is for me in a flat, eating raw foods whilst my system cleanses and heals itself so I can move on. And I don't like what I have done to myself, so I don't like how I am feeling physically or mentally. Oh yes - I can do some more voluntary work but I feel so " different " in my eating habits that somehow I make an anxiety of it. OR I eat as other's do to avoid my self and to make life " easy " with the task in hand or to fit in with others, the regime etc.. I can go up the gym, except I am giving it a bit of rest due to health issues. I do yoga but I feel so uncomfortable it is almost unbearable to " feel " myself. In truth I would like to " leave " me ?! Even a walk in lovely surroundings reduces me to unbearable sadness – I feel like a " blot " on the landscape – Everything so perfect in God's creation except me.. (So pathetic and " poor me " – I hate it!) Events that could bring joy I bring unhappiness to.. My Aunt is over to visit from her home in Sweden so I popped on the bus yesterday and took a ride out to visit her at my Granny's house. An uncle was there also. Oh how well I look to them, (because I am usually too thin in their eyes) and why aren't I working?? bla-bla.. I ended up staying for dinner, it was the least worry of the day - Staying alive was more important. Once that food is inside me however – the agitation feels close to suicidal despair. I am actually angry at the world for eating this way! – But I have my own choice?!! I am already " petrified " of my cousin's wedding in August. My family just don't `do' with me and eating habits anymore. Not when you haven't exactly been an advert of health on raw foods! How I would rather live in a different country then I wouldn't concern myself with Family. I just want to find out who I want to be and BE that – and be OK! The problem is, I have created nothing and no-one in my life here because of this food thing. That sounds like a complete misperception of things I KNOW! I am just stating how I'm feeling. No-one asks me out, nor to any family events (except weddings and Christmas) Friends I have made here - I kinda play a game of pretence with because I seem to have lost those I was " real " with – Meaning I haven't really made any friends who see life from a similar perspective. (It is a very conventional town) I don't have a car to get out to the country. In fact the latest advice was to get a t.v to help with the evening despair. I have never lived in a central town flat until I came here. I am unable to move anywhere just now. In fact I am so emotionally strung out moving or evening taking a `holiday' provokes anxiety because you have to eat wherever you go. For me that means discomfort. I have developed a habit of sabotaging myself to just live in the moment as some kind of relief from my mind - like eating with my family yesterday. But then it leads to aggressive bingeing – I feel powerless in this area just now. And I have had such support - why am I beating myself? - raw food is great, the only way I can see sanity. I think Bob hit the spot with " not letting go of the past " I often think I have, but being as I feel " stuck " in the town where I lived before and loath for it's memories; I guess " moving on " and " getting over it " are perhaps a come and go affair? Why am I feeling so powerless to stop? Even when I believe in my goal I wake with dread/despair. Everyone who knows me thinks I am this vivacious girl with a warm friendly nature. Inside I feel crippled, unable to be my own friend.. Goodness knows how this sounds.?! Perhaps it is too heavy, I don't intend to press the conversation further. Something might just " click " today and I will pick myself up, dust down and walk… Thank you for listening – The connection is a friend in itself.. Hope this is ok? – Hey! – Be honest..?
