Did you ever gone through depression ? From what I read here I guess not. You are telling here the people that such feelings aren't a problem as long you stop resisting it, but tell this a person who is going to suicide because of such feelings. pffff Sorry, I don't understand you. Please clarify. Setting aside the issue of telling peeps things they can't hear or understand, is it true? |

Yes, I realize that. I'm saying you can stop using labels altogether for how you feel. Forget what you think would happen. The hypothetical's are trapping you. You're experiencing a whole category of feeling that's arising out of resistance because you're experiencing your knowledge about those feelings. The knowledge that tells you in so many words that they're a mistake or a problem and need to be fixed. The feelings aren't the problem. You've made them the problem. You ARE the resistance and aversion. All that has to be done is to just stop. The dilemma is that you have zero interest in doing so. Did you ever gone through depression ? From what I read here I guess not. You are telling here the people that such feelings aren't a problem as long you stop resisting it, but tell this a person who is going to suicide because of such feelings. pffff I've been through depression and worked for years with people who were depressed and suicidal. Here's my take and you can do with it what you like as I don't claim to be any sort of authority. To be both depressed and/or suicidal one must reside in a supreme amount of confusion and dishonesty with themselves. You will often notice as you engage a suicidal person that they will defend their current state with vigor. Making sure that you know that you could never understand what they're going through. Not because you really couldn't understand but because they themselves are totally confused. It's not even clear for most people what it is that wants to die. There's a sense of enjoyment for most to be able to see just how deep they can go into their despair. It's the very same curiosity that has others exploring topics here. The same curiosity that is really quite indifferent to what's happening. It's the thought structure that has battled tooth and nail against everything including how one feels. When it doesn't get what it wants it draws the boundaries of 'self' in even closer, away from even the body itself making the body the enemy. Possibly even convincing itself that its continuity will remain after physical death. Suddenly, light at the end of the tunnel appears and you may even notice that someone who has committed to suicide may appear supremely peaceful. The notion that thought is both creating the problems and subsequently the troubling emotions and creating the solutions to those problems is virtually never entertained. The idea that what is happening 'out there' is tossing me around like a vengeful ocean 'in here' is guarded at all costs. Thought is interested only in making sure that thought continues. Even at the cost of destroying the body in some sort of justifiable dramatic ending. |

The idea that what is happening 'out there' is tossing me around like a vengeful ocean 'in here' is guarded at all costs. Thought is interested only in making sure that thought continues. Even at the cost of destroying the body in some sort of justifiable dramatic ending. That's about it, pretty much. I spent the first 40 years of my life in an almost perpetual state of depression, and during those few, brief moments when I wasn't depressed, since I wasn't depressed at the time, it was concluded by some friends, and even medical professionals that I must be 'bipolar'. Yet, looking back on all that now, it was all simply wallowing in thought-begetting-thought-begetting-thought, until I just wanted to die, because I just got sick of thinking about all that sh!t, anymore. Ultimately, that's when the letting-go finally started. But, I see the same patterns in others, and there's nothing I can really say to them, anymore, because, as suggested above, there is virtually nothing 'out there' that can resolve the thought-wallowing, and the belief that "something needs to be done" that obscures the realization of What One really is, 'in here'. |
