That people suffer sadness and hardship other than mental health

You are absolutely right.As a matter of fact hardship can cause mental illness.Its really sad the state of the world.
The community where I spent most of my life is hit by economic hardship so bad that there are people walking in front of cars on a weekly basis right down the street from the homeless shelter.
It usually happens in the early morning also its like they wake up then are forced out of the shelter (standard practice) until later when they are allowed in to sleep then their hopelessness is such that they make it like 4 blocks befor giving up on life.
Very hard for me not to forget. One of my neighbours grandchildren for example was born with a hole in their heart. About 9 now and long out lived all doctors expectations. I’m constantly reminded as there is a bunch of oxygen tanks out the front of my neighbours house.
Ever since I got medicated I developed a new outlook on sadness and hardship. It was as if I could understand that these hardships and emotions are merely products of the mind. I for one have cried rivers with hardships but it has all come to a basic halt in my life. I have not gone stone cold. I’d rather say I’ve evolved a bit together with a paradigm shift in my mind pertaining to emotions.
Sz is not for sissies. We got to be strong and emotionally stable…with the help of meds and therapy amongst other. I believe we have a lot to give to people who struggle with hardship and sadness other than mental health.
I am of the opinion that people who suffer sz for some time had come to terms with most of their emotions through acceptance of the illness. There is a lot of very mature posters on this forum from whom I’ve learned a lot since they have so much to give.

Yes, I know that. It doesn’t lessen my own hardship. It’s good to think about that from time to time, though. Get a little perspective.
I’m not saying money is the root to happiness, but financial hardship can be extremely distressing. I find it astonishing that I live in poverty, I mean I make two thousand bucks less then the poverty line, and yet I’m still “richer” than 83.53% of the world. Is this real life right now?

I live off of 10 g a year. It’s pretty amazing though I have everything I want.
On the topic of the thread. Physical illness is in store for all of us eventually. There are people with both physical and mental illness. Things could be much worse for everybody. Thank the good lord for the health and capabilities you do have and pray you get worse. I’m starting to believe that most of life is suffering, whether it’s minor or major. You really gotta focus on the positive stuff to enjoy the ride.
Heard gods voice for the first time last night.
He chimed in with a simple “I exist.”
Before I lost him I asked why things are lol this
“I’m just ■■■■■■■around with my creations”
I asked if he’d take the sz away
“I don’t want to”
What’s the proper religion?
“For you, Christianity”
Then he was gone.
A sadist god I laughed to myself.
Kind of off topic but that’s how I see God now. Doesn’t deserve worship. Try and enjoy the ride.
The creator what’s now cliche, had some funny words to say. All you little things are incomplete. Why did he speak of us that way?
