I don’t think I knew that actually can change my mind. I don’t have to think about suicide, disasters and killing. I can find peace of mind. It’s right here.

Thoughts are powerful. You can make your heart stop with thoughts.

I try to remind myself, I am healthy, at this present moment, I need to incorporate that when I start mindfulness meditation
maybe you have been conditioned to think these ways and its all you know
I agree, not knowing any better is a factor. That is why we are encouraged to develop socially so that we can learn from others.
depends if you are capable to learn i guess
One really has to open up one’s heart to change and that is difficult to do. Even if we are in a bad way, there is always some reason to stay that way.

I did that, i accepted that it doesnt have to be this way, i found a 'way out’ i guess, either that or it was the meds,
i like to think that i had some influence in my recovery and its not all just med related 
meds are not thoughts although they can numb your brain enough to prevent you from having thoughts if they are deemed to be bad.

i wouldnt like that either its hard enough to think properly than not think at all, would you rather have bad thoughts and be in pain or no thoughts and live pain free?
Our reality reflects our thoughts.
I’d rather have pain than be a numb skull where you get ridiculed and taken advantage of.

its all a case of how can i be in less pain? how can i manage my thoughts better ‘maybe’
Psychiatrists will prescribe meds, psychologists will talk, if they at least tried talking to me i might have had a better life but this is what i have got now.
not sure what you mean by that 
If physical or mental, the doctors answer is always “numb it.” or “knock it out”. I feel powerless about them.
physical pain can be cured but mental pain is different, they will try and subdue it instead of getting to the root of it (if there is a root) its a complicated thing mental illness,
I don’t agree. I was never the same after my tonsillectomy. The surgery just buried the problem deeper. Physical pain is not cured either.
The ugliness of the world is the reflection of our ugly thoughts about other people. War, conflict, greed.
Or human created mess is the product of a disorganized messy mind.
