Working on egocide
Ecocide?
Egocide, killing ego.
Unfortunately I have depression and was debilitated by it (on and off and on again) for lack of better words about a year, its all quite sad if you let it be. BUT, for lack of better words my ego just has to die for me to move on to the next stage in life, and as a process it's actually going quite well which I am glad about. I've been working on this process for a while and I'm proud of myself. I'm trying and I've got a stupid grin on my face doing it. Couple really scary things I have to face soon, so I'll have to keep braving the storm but until then, its just egocide I have to worry about.
Alright, but make sure to have a healthy balance between your self and other people. Boundaries are important. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but include helping yourself in with helping others.
Well, maybe your ego has to completely die, but doing things for yourself is not selfish.
Will do Makan <3 not trying to be some selfless martyr or something, just a healthy happy fulfilled person, my wording probably just sounded super ominous or something my bad
OHHHH
I see, I see.
Yeah, I feel that, and sometimes, we have to take a step back from ourselves and let our ego go and think about the whole.
I getcha now.
If any of yall are going through it, reach out to me if you want to talk, and on top of that I invite you to see a therapist, honestly it really does help. Be kind to yourself, you'll stupidly enough survive all of the things you're scared of (lil projection, but it might help the reader)
Material possessions and money give me anxiety. There was a time in my life in which I didn't really have much and I'm not saying I was necessarily happy but I was less anxious for sure. Now I have a car and disposable income and whatnot and suddenly I feel more trapped. Like, there is much more pressure to maintain this certain image that you have build, more pressure to keep performing in this society. And at the same time it feels whiny to complain about this because it could be so much worse. Hell, a couple year back I was in a much worse place. But at least I felt like I had the freedom to do things, paradoxically.
Basically, I feel like I have been pushed into some sort of role in society in which I have to work to maintain, in my eyes, useless things while the things I actually do value I have no time for. I spend a big amount of time each week at a place I don't want to be in order to pay for things I don't want or things I find ridiculously expensive all the while my energy is drained to the point I cannot do something else.
Just rambling, I guess.
A general strike today. Down with capitalism.
Life was really simple when I was homeless... but my back loves my mattress and not carrying everything I own all the time.
I'm in a similar boat. I ended up getting rid of my car and a bunch of other expenses that were not bringing me joy and were a drain on me. As a result, I've been able to save a lot as a bulwark against the need to constantly perform. It doesn't help though, because I still need to go to a place I don't want to be for too many hours per day. It's not like I could survive indefinitely if I stop working.
