A prison, within a prison

Unusual Beliefs

I feel like living in a prison, within a prison, within a prison…

Many times i think my home is prison, and my body is a prison, making me live in prison within a prison, and the meds are restraining me. Even though they do help calm me, they limit me as well. Feels like I am invisibly cuffed.

Since i do light exercise once a week i feel so much better. It seems you are in a medical straight jacket. Hang in there, it will pass. Eventually the fresh concret to make a decision will be like a rock :rock:.

What would freedom for @anon84628834 entail?

@anon84628834 many of us here are struggling with big issues
Hell ive had bulimia and serious body issues where my self conscious and low self esteem have been real real low. Walking around like i dont belong.
I dont begin to try and understand everything about you. Im just saying we all have our ■■■■ to bear. Some more than most. Having mental illnesses puts us on a back foot all the time, then you add comorbidities, other illnesses to deal with.
I just don’t want you all alone and feeling so low and alone. Try to keep some perspective i know its hard with paranoia but keep trying to keep your head above water, don’t give up!

I think this is what a real prison is. Trigger warning scaring kids

Maybe being free, or out of my body… as my body usually feels like a prison, with many ailments and struggles that seem overwhelming at times… at other times, I wished to be free and live in nature and in harmony, as I don’t feel much for extreme consumerism. I can do with little.

Thank you, but I guess I am alone… and still feels like a prison. Not sure how I can alleviate this. Only when I do something creative, is when I lose focus of dark thoughts and lose track of time, which is good. Other than that I do not know.

Mind, body, house and planet… maybe 4 prisons?

We may be prisoners here, but they can’t take our souls. In the end, they can try to get to us, but they can only affect our minds and bodies. They can’t get to what is essential to us.

you need hope…find it as hard as you can…just a little hope can grow into great hope…don’t give up…I’m sorry you feel this way…I used to think I was in a prison when I was ill…a prison in a way…anyways…I believed I would be in prison for 2,000 years. I understand and empathize…hope you find hope.
