I’m beginning to see it as one big test.
Can I live it. Kind of thing.
Will I pass living life every day
Not in committing suicide kind of way but just in not giving up making an effort.

It’s so much effort to make an effort with this condition

Just one big journey over which I have little control. I complain when I have problems, but the universe usually catches my butt in one way or another every time I fall down. I am just lucky in that way.

I see it as a test to see if you can figure out answers to the mystery of it all. If you pass you move up to a higher realm. If you fail you reincarnate, get a different hand of cards and get to try it all over again.

Is there any religion where they see life as a test. I might join it.

Narcissists tend to see life as a Kafka-esque trial that never ends, as endless tests in other words.
Normal people just chill and live life.

All I know is I rebelled against the “life’s a test” notion. When I was actually so depressed that I was hoping it was a test, I was able to reason with that notion pretty easily by saying “I wouldn’t care if I failed this stupid test because it’s bs to go through this”
Maybe life is a test. But you thinking it’s a test isn’t going to change the test it will just make it more difficult. Best to just live and relax. I understand this notions probably driven by depression which is tough to deal with.

Kafka esque trial?
I’ve never heard of that

I see it as a choose-you-own-story kind of book.
When people in the past have asked me why I’ve never attempted suicide, I’ve told them that I want to read the final pages.
Stories might be written, but it’s up to us which story comes true.

Something Kafkaesque is basically pointlessly nightmarish and miserable.

I’m nearing the end of life, not that many years left so I just look at it as It is what it is, not a lot I can do to change things. I go to work, take my meds and isolate. I’m content

so if we are being tested then who is testing us?
apparently God allows the devil to test us in order for us to show our strength in the face of adversity, its a test of faith and attrition.
thats what i believe anyway.

Religion says that everything is God. So the devil too

I don’t know who-if anyone- is doing the testing but my food challenges…I just feel like I’m being seriously tested with it.
I just want to eat so much of the time. Food is on my mind way too much eventhough I don’t under eat.
So I feel tested in that respect- to not kill myself prematurely with food

You need to be on 10mg of abilify not 5mg. 5mg abilify actually gave me suicidal ideation.

I see life…
Through a pair of sun shades
While sipping a margarita
On a tropical beach
My left arm around a young sexy waist
… And then it’s time
To take my AP
And so the hallucination
Ends abruptly…
But the aftertaste
Makes it all worthwhile.

I see life as a gift. You are given an appointed time and purpose to seek and find God.
