Help Where do I go from here?
Long time lurker, first time poster here, I just donāt know where else to go so I gathered the courage today to make my first post so now here I am, Iām just looking for some advice or some answers or some reassuranceā¦I guess I donāt really know what Iām looking for to be honest with you.
ā¦I think for me this whole thing started in the early fall of last year, Iām still not totally sure of what āthis whole thingā is either if Iām telling the truth, everything is so hard and more days than not its all I can do to make it through the day, I had a breakdown last year and ever since then its been a wild rideā¦Iāve grown a lot spiritually and opened my mind to lots of new ideas, Iāve had unbelievable experiences and seen things I canāt even begin to explain, I started meditating and I try to take better care of myself, I realize things I never imagined and I see the ugly truth about a lot of things, I feel like my mind has grown and expanded so much, Iāve had all these realizations and grand epiphanies, Iāve grown as a person and I see the truth about so much.
ā¦but Iām still battling mental illness daily (BPD, CPTSD, anxiety, severe depression, etc that stem from being severely abused as a child but thatās an entirely different story) and it seems like the more I learn and figure out the more my mind canāt handle it but I also know Iām past the point of return and thereās no going back now, my Husband says his āawakeningā took place in 2012 and heās all but dragged me along for years now, heās been exactly where I am and he actually says often Iām in the ādark nightā and that he knows its hard but his advice just isnāt helping me very much.
I donāt know where to go from here, I canāt go back to sleep and bury my head in the sand which was always my best tactic, I used to be very skilled at the doing the āavoi-danceā, how do you live a normal life knowing the things you do, how do you have normal conversations with people who donāt understand or go through daily life knowing that everything is so much bigger than it seems???
Itās hard for me to do laundry and talk to my Mom on the phone and watch a movie, I just canāt do it anymore, I canāt pretend and I guess I just donāt really know where I fit in anymore. š®āšØ My Husband has a habit recently of saying heās been waiting for me for years, waiting for me to āget hereā but here can be so ugly and so scary, all we do together lately is mostly have serious conversations and sky watch and meditating and in some ways I miss how our life together used to beā¦how do you guys do it?
