I am a total pack member - not pack leader. Tbh I kinda prefer to give up SOME control but it has a lot of caveats

I have to be able to implode at some points and just right off everything for a week.

I am in a lucky situation where I can do that. I appreciate of lot of folk aren’t so lucky

At the moment I’m writting my master thesis, which requires to read a lot, so I’m kinda of a slave for having time to read.

Although I’ve been trying to get healthier and I started doing the gym, but every time I go there I leave exhausted and finding will to read again is a struggle.

Having both occupations leave me without much time to spare for myself, but I’m doing I what I can to have a better life.

I’m trapped by the nhs.

Free when off meds and fixing my neurochemistry with exercise, nature, herbs, tobacco, powerlifting, self care…

THe only place I feel a bit trapped really atm is financially. I need more money but if I work too many more hours I endanger my Soc. sec. disability. I cant work full time, so losing this is not an options.

I also cant get my extra help as long as I am working as many hours as I do, so most of the money I make goes towards meds.

This job is too hard on my body to work full time even if my mind could handle it.

So, Im in a bit of a financial rut/trap.

I voted enough control…or all control whatever…anyways…as long as I have my spiritual guide book and go to church I feel in control of my life.

i feel i am in darkness – sense things but don’t know who what where etc. so i feel out of control of my life totally. i don’t feel free either because the voices make me feel listened into etc.

I felt trapped and out of control when I was with my ex. He’s gone now and I feel better.

Its hard to explain. I am free to clean the house and cook the meals. I do this daily. But I myself do not feel free because a lot hangs on my routine. Others, my family. Even when Im falling apart and really struggling, I have to pull through and just press on.

Reliant on benefits and living in rented accommodation. My farther won’t even answer my phone calls. Trapped like a mouse in a mouse trap.

Other than being on disability and hud, I feel I have a lot of control over my life. Control as in I take care of my own business and make my own decisions. I have family that I help too since I’m usually available.
