thanks for reply @Adek
afternoon out in sun with friend yesterday I enjoyed....lovely to see her enjoying release so much as well
took mum down to watch ocean this afternoon...she doesnt like getting out of car but we watch waves and all people walking past.....one man with dog came over and talked to us ....dog wanted a pat...beautiful boxer
a busy day out was good....not feeling so gloomy now just distracting myself
walking is about connecting with nature for me and all animals etc in area...these days called mindfulness...in my mind just something I have always done laugh
what did you do over the weekend?
I have read the religious side of your life what else do you get up to in your free time?

That sounded like the heavy stuff shared by our brother from US @eudemonism. He too..at one point in time was struck by shame, guilt, remorse but sought solace, repentance, new mindset and meaning in life from reflecting, reading, learning, being knowledgeable and mixing with the right people, positive people that uplift his virtues and spirits. Its like shutting down some doors for good, and entering new doors that lead to different worlds that have never been explored. An emigration in the cause of his Creator. Done that too..in order to move forward...

bcc stands for basal cell carcinoma....non melanoma cancer....I have a pearly coloured spot that has changed....have moles so have seen skin specialists before....it will probably be removed...is on my face...
I flapped internally....(programmed learning of keeping my feelings inward since a child)..reacted as close friend has melanoma cancer on the brain....melanomas have been removed from his face....he has had treatment ...not doing to well at the moment
your life certainly has been interesting....do you give presentations about determination, stamina,perseverance?
Written an autobiography?
my life pales intensely in comparison......through no fault of your own I feel even more that my life has been wasted and feel so angry with the depression etc.
I realise that this sort of reaction...whilst I need to acknowledge that it is real and a part of me....I want to change my thinking...a perfect opportunity to work on ....living in the now!
thank you Adek ...as I have said to you before you are an inspiration.
@eudemonism your last post was a clear, articulate piece of writing covering major aspects of your life that have affected your mental health, lifestyle and relationships.
I thought that Adek's response matched your internal questioning of self well.
I hope that you don't feel that I am diverting the subject away from you.
