Last time I posted I was really struggling and I appreciated the advice and support I got.I keep considering very self-destructive or risky behaviors. I think I'm just processing a lot of pain and rejection and trying to find my place in the world, and my lizard brain answer is to roll the dice and risk something special happening, not realizing how dangerous that can be. Is it better to stay safe in times of change and fear or go push into the fear and find something new? I make a point of facing my fears but if I want to live even til the end of the year I need to start considering my own physical safety too.
Hey mate. Its nice to hear a post from you. Solitude can be healing and hopefully Alan Watts’ words have helped guide you further.
It will be difficult to comment as you dont elaborate on the risky behaviours you are considering.

The lizard brain gives rise to the flight, fight or fright response. Aiming to keep you alive. Fear and hightened vigilence arising from the lizard brain can lead to depression and anxiety and act as a feedback loop.
Perhaps i would say you know the answer. If you are here and asking the questions i would presume you arent comfortable with the ‘old you’ and your spirit-mind-body is out of alignment.
What actions would help you achieve greater spirit-mind-body alignment? And which are destructive behaviours working counter to this?
Personally, i have found greater peace the more i take time out for myself and have my “quiet time”. This can be anything from just resting, or quiet music or guided meditation. Doing nothing is actually sometimes the hardest thing to do - but I have found it nourishing for my mind, body and soul.
Thanks for sharing your feelings. I find it reassuring that im not the only who feels similar feelings from time to time.
Great to see such a profoundly raw post. If yiu can elaborate, there’s some of us that can guide you with some experienced wisdom. Remember, you don’t have to fight or suffer alone. Mush love
