Why Is Life This Way?

Why is life this way? I often wonder what’s going on with it, but I don’t have a clue how it’s meant to be at times. I wish I had a clue, honestly. But I don’t, so what’s the point of it all? If It’s meant to be a curse then let it be a curse. But, if it’s meant to be something different? Let it be different. Don’t let it be what you want it to be, be what it’s meant to be. Allow life to be whatever it needs to be, there’s nothing wrong with that. There are things in this life we don’t have control over, and that’s okay! If we can simply allow ourselves to become the better person, then we can allow such a life to continue. We can allow it to make us and form us, shape us even into the people we’re supposed to be.

Psychosis

Ah, Psychosis. Such an interesting word. Google a definition, and you will find out a lot about it. Or I could give you the definition here without warning.

Psychosis is a mental health condition characterized by a loss of contact with reality, often involving hallucinations (seeing/hearing things not there) and delusions (fixed, false beliefs). It is not a specific disease but a set of symptoms, commonly involving confused thinking, speech, and behavior. Common causes
include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe stress, and substance misuse.

Yeah, that ought to do it. Now, I can hear you asking, why am I talking about this again? Well because it’s an important topic. It needs to be talked about and not just swept under the rug as it were. A lot of people tend to sweep mental illness under the rug as it were.

It can be quite intense. When you aren’t quite sure what is real anymore and everything feels like an invasion of your privacy. Like, what is real these days? I’m not certain I understand anymore It would be nice to be able to believe in something that I know won’t turn on its head or disappear all the way. Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking about these days.

What am I missing in all of this? Is it the fact that this life is a simulation? Is that what’s going on with life? I don’t know. It would be nice to have some kind of understanding behind it all. But I don’t know how to do that. I don’t want to go to a therapist in order to do anything. I want to be able to figure it all out by myself.

Is it possible I am never to understand what is going on with me? I can appreciate that for sure, but I’m not sure if I can understand it. There are so many things that I am just unable to understand at times. I wish I could make everything just make sense. But I know I can’t do that. There are limitations to this life, some limitations aren’t the easiest to overcome. While others seem nonexistent. Whichever way this life swings, we are simply stuck in an ongoing circle. There isn’t a way to overcome any of it. It’s an unfortunate series of events in which we live.

What is this life all about anyway? I don’t get it most of the time. I do know the hallucinations are quite real. There’s nothing that can be done about those. I hate to say it, but most days they’re just there and I have to deal with them.

Schizoaffective Disorder

I want to say it first began in High School when I thought I was trying to beat the devil. Now when I say I was "trying to beat the devil", I mean I actually thought I was hearing the devil speak to me at night and that I had to find some way to overcome him. Looking back I should have sought professional help then. I remember telling a friend about this experience, and he looked at me like I was nuts. Talk about craziness right? Yeah something like that. I believe my first mental break was when I was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints . I wanted to go home so bad. It could have just been homesickness . But...there was something more to it. About halfway through I was just done with it all. I had had enough of rejection and wanted to go home. But I was afraid that I was unable to because I would simply be told no . I know that sounds silly to people. But that's what happened. I didn't b...

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

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?
