Worry

 Worry comes to me at times when I least expect it. I don't like it. I'm not a fan of it at all. I wish I could figure out exactly what is going on in these times of worry. But I'm not sure I am able to. So instead of figuring out what's going on with my head, I worry. I should be able to figure it out, maybe I just need more time. That could be a possibility. Worry is such an annoying thing to... worry about. Yeah, that sounded bad. But you know what I mean, right? Right?!

With worry comes stress. Stressful situations arrive and there's nothing I can do about it. Anxiety follows suit and I feel like I want to just hide from the world. How can a person hide from the world with a blanket if there's no place to hide? Hiding isn't ever good I don't think. There are so many problems in this life that I cannot comprehend them all at once.

Why must I deal with these things? I'm not sure I understand. There seems to be a lot of things going on in my head and nothing I can do about it can fix anything. It's all a mess, it really is. If life is such a mess, why can't I deal with it? There's just too much to do in my mind and there isn't enough time to do it all. Something has got to give. I don't know what that something is though. If there's anything I am able to do I have got to find a way to do it, otherwise I am lost and unable to do anything.

So many "it would be nice to haves" in this life. Yet here we are wondering if those nice to haves are actually anything of importance. I bet they aren't. There has got to be something I am able to do about any of this. Something I can contribute to my own mind that would allow me to comprehend everything that is going on. The worry has got to end. I don't know how to make it end, so I feel stuck. It's almost like being stuck in time. Nowhere to go, forward or backward. You can't really do anything about it. You're stuck. There's no way to get around it.

If I knew what to do, I wouldn't be in this situation now would I? No, I didn't think so. Perhaps there is another way to go about this life. If I could figure it out, I would totally go with that option. But I'm not sure there is a way to even think that possibility through.

I'm still suffering through grief and loss, I think. I tend to try to ignore it all. But sometimes you just can't ignore any of it. There's a lot of pressure to try and get past it all. I don't know how to do any of it though. I feel like I don't belong here or anywhere for that matter. I'm not quite certain how to express myself in that regard. There just doesn't seem to be a way to figure it all out.

I suppose it doesn't matter if I'm stuck in time, or stuck where I am. There's no place to go at this moment in time. I wish I knew how to best overcome these thoughts though. There must be a way to overcome everything I am going through. I hope there is a way at least. There's a catch though, there isn't a way through this life that I know of. I can only hold on and hope for something good to happen. If nothing good happens, then nothing good happens and I am just here. So, I best hang on for the ride and see all that happens.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
