Im aware of these beings.

They’re evil yo, very very evil.

Don’t thank them, they know what they did to you.

It seems like I need prayer to help get me out of bed and feeling like taking on the day.

I know that it is more science and chemical or somthing.

prayer can only go so far, sometimes we need extra help to get us through but all i’ll say about prayer is that it doesnt hurt, i say ‘why the heck not’ you know, i go to a prayer meeting sometimes and it is very sombre and peaceful and gives me a sense that i am doing something positive to help, might not solve all my problems but it doesnt hurt and i dont need to get obsessional about it,

@pansdisease no one did anything to me, i was a victim of circumstance and that is how i deal with the blame, it is random and blameless, the reason i thanked God is bc i dont know who else i could thank you know so i picked the highest authority i could find so yeah, thank God.

Ill say it again.

The beings that put you here know what they have done to you, don’t thank them for it.

There are things about life that I like. For the most part I enjoy it, but I am shocked by the innumerable examples of suffering that occur to life in all its forms.

I am afraid by the fact that we do not understand anything much outside our world how we got here whether there is a God and why people suffer

An attitude statistically proven (by Martin Seligman and many others) to be highly beneficial for mental health pts of all kinds. Learned optimism may not always work, but it works waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often than not.

that is very interesting @notmoses

i am optimistic, i was always optimistic thanks to my dad and early childhood experience but it was cut short when pressure was applied to me at school and then in work, i could not cope despite me trying to hold on to the optimism i was then blunted by medication and now i have been taking a better med for 5 yrs and my optimism levels returned and then i got religious and that has helped me to maintain my optimistism i think.

God gave me another chance after I was saved from death when I did not know what I was doing.

So I thank him yes for life. While not always roses, life beats death any day.

For a lot of people, it can. Just so long as we don’t get too legalistic with it.

LO became the single most effective form of CBT in the '90s. There are even better forms now, but it’s still a great place to start.
