I posted a message this morning would just like to say thank you for everyone for their comments really appreciate it and a lot of people seem to feel the same way I do.
One of the comments sounded like me, the gentleman I can't remember your name. Sorry, said he left school with no qualifications. I didn't even take any exams because of my dyslexia, then I was just lazy, stupid thick. That's how they classed it in them days by the way I am now 53 years old.
I think modern society is bringing more anxiety and panic attacks to our children to be honest with you, when I was at school we went to school, but we walked there nowadays you can honestly see the rush-hour with traffic when the schools are going in and out. I used to walk about 4 miles to school every day.
Just take an example. I don't go out much myself, social anxiety as well, as health anxiety, but we have had lovely weather here lately had the big windows open source to guilt walking side-by-side talking saying send me a text message now and I will send you one back what is all that about they are talking to each other walking next to each other and they are sending each other text messages. This world is a crazy place just my opinion again. This may sound strange but I've done a bit of research, it seems strange that mental health in children and adults have really increased lately since the introduction of Wi-Fi mobile phones, Bluetooth, it's all going through our bodies is it really safe our grandparents didn't have this problem. I know it sounds crazy, but look it up there hasn't been many test done about these radio waves and what harm they can do to us, but we are surrounded by them . Anyway, rambling again and by the way we are not the mad people. It's everyone else. That's wrong. We are right lol lol take care everybody and once again thank you for your comments nice reading them.
Keep getting it out. Ramble away. We all do it. Nature of the beast. Let us in so we can learn and maybe help. Too many people out there still living in the dark, thinking they are crazy and getting suisidally depressed. This group was a great idea and a great focal point to help me pass the time while I try to figure out how to relax. Do you know how to relax? I think I forgot how. I can't remember the last time I didn't have to worry about someone or something. Even when I relax I still have my guard up, so I am not really relaxed. Not sure I know the meaning. I am at the point I can't relax when I sleep either because I wake up each morning with the anxiety symptoms. So people tell me to relax, I just kind of laugh to myself inside. Knowing I don't really know how. Even as a kid, I had constant worries.
I don't think our bodies were meant or designed to sit behind computers all day. I think our grandparents ran and rode bicycles everywhere and knew what hard work was about. They got home, they were too tired to worry about anything but dinner and sleep. Everyone had their jobs and chores, the kids went outside to play stick ball or run around. There was no pent up energy and stress like we have today. I sit in front desk of a computer all day. I felt way more happy and accomplished when I was working construction. Thank goodness I am at the end of my career and not the beginning. I have 30 years in and I don't think I can make it another 10 but that's the goal.
Hi David totally agree with you years ago everyone had nothing. But nowadays people have to keep up with the Joneses . If I get a new car the Neighbours have to get one so much pressure on people now days
I don't play that game. I simply am happy being able to pay my bills and accomplish for me and my family. I have 3 boys. 2 grown and out of the house. I have plans to retire and buy house in Pensacola and live happy there. Of coarse this condition I have puts things in perspective. Kind of useless to have plans if you can't control your own body enough to enjoy the plans you made. I will not let this beat me. Not this time. I plan on being proactive and hitting it head on. I will not be a victim. Of coarse I say that now and talk tough but when next panic attack hits I will be curled up in a ball like everyone else. Lol
Yes lots of people are going through similar things for all our different reasons. The mind is a strong powerful tool and can consume us. We have to try put up a fight with our own thoughts. Keep busy colour. Paint or even start a new project.
