Are you trapped in a perpetual rut of disillusionment that leaves you feeling befuddled, bewildered and discombobulated on a daily basis?

Asking for a friend...

And yes I know ...Keep a gratitude journal. Exercise. Eat more fiber... Stay hydrated... Jesus loves me ...

Got it. Thanks :o)

I am trapped in toxic belief from trauma. That I am less and inept. This affects me everyday in some way. It is always in my subconscious. So it does result in me feeling befuddled often. Definitely in disillusionment too. I think I need to make a permanent decision, that I am someone who does have worth even though I have many anxieties. 馃様

@brokensignal So ironic..I have been trying to figure out a tattoo that I may get. That is definitely one that would be impactful. 馃尰

@Coralmist dear coralmist please do not feel like you have no worth because you do , you just have to break this belief , break the cycle of thought that you are worthless , start telling yourself that you are worthy and you love yourself and respect yourself stop letting this feeling of being less than drag you down into the pit of self pity you are strong and courageous you are greater than this feeling and you can overcome it , I believe in you.

And that goes out to everyone who feels that way not just you. I believe we all have worth because we have all been given this life to live and no matter how bad it seems we are still here dealing with it.
This is my motto of life
If life pushes you , push it back
If life punches you , punch it back
If life kicks you down get up and kick it back , keep fighting and
Never let life get the upper hand

How the evil up the food chain turn the middle class into the poor and rob the poor of their strength. Teach us as kids to complain about not being raised up. Guaranteeing it by telling the grown we owe it to our brothers and sisters to tear down others for not lifting us. To refuse to parrot false messages equals weakness. To not follow bad advice is weak. To throw away life seeking pleasure is strength. To throw away pride for cravings equals courage.

Then you're 25 years older and you listen to the party on the other side of the birthday door. You know all the words but they no longer mean what they once did. You've seen more than you should have looked at.

You look into the mirror at yourself. Now half bereft of understanding. Half aware of the scams of the mediocrity of the certificates, the accolades, the schools and their half wit programs. The collective bag o bones and flab semi conscious screen addicted dry hair toof ace crowd you call friends seem to be in a frenzy. The latest in a long line of banal knee slaps thinking. At least in the dining car I didn't have to watch monkeys throw shit at each other.

Yep, I am definitely in that rut. I see absolutely no way out either. But it is what it is.

In the past I struggled with depression and social anxiety for a long time after me and my wife split up I just dwelt on the pain and anguish for years roughly 3 years to be exact but nothing changed for those three years , I isolated myself trying to stay away from people as much as possible , I was caught up in my own head thinking that nothing will ever get better it felt like every aspect of my life was crumbling down around me untill the day I decided to to do something about it and face my fears that were causing my social anxiety my demons were very powerful but my willpower and wanting things to change was even stronger so I started getting my ass up and going out in public and started slowly trying to be social and actually interact with people instead of ignoring them eventually i started going to a local church food pantry and started meeting people including the pastor of the church who I told about my problems and issues and he told me about a support group called CELEBRATE RECOVERY and I started attending meetings and that's when everything really started to change for the better , I am in a better place now but I'm still attending meetings and continuing to work on my issues I'm still a work in process but I'm doing a lot better than I was but I believe it wouldn't have been possible if I didn't change the way I thought or hadn't taken some action I would still be where I was , so at some point in your troubles you have to come to a realization that in order to end the cycle something has got to change and in order for things to change you must take action or you will stay stuck in your own circumstances.
