3 Things

Three things I'd like to change:
Not delete people when I'm upset-burn bridges.
Not react in such an out bursting and manipulative way when I'm offended or upset.
Not get suicidal.

  1. Thanx for the topic! I found this the other day onna blog 4 bipolar folks. I added to it and edited it and made it mine inna first person as if I grasped the whole concept which I don’t yet but I ‘aspire’. I'd like to change these things too:
    • Not burn bridges w/ people when I'm upset and
    • not react in such an out bursting and manipulative way when I'm offended or upset.
    when I'm offended or upset “The Talker” in my head who is always running a continuous narrative is stuck in the duality that makes judgments based on past abuse and does not allow me to experience the world of now. Does not allow me to experience the world without this reactive judgementalism. It’s the same thing as a knee jerk reaction. I am trying to put on ‘The Watcher’ who lives outside of duality & sees the whole as equally valuable. This watcher mite be like ur wayne dywyer character; the not u but wish I had his life, insights, opportunities, success, social skills etc. It’s a higher self and consciousness I am aspiring to rather than have right now but see as mine someday when I am whole. “The Watcher” is Mindful of what is really happening because “The Watcher” does not ignore or accentuate details based on my past triggers. Triggers shut me out from perceiving the whole picture. I end up focusing on moving away from the more uncomfortable aspects of the experiences & miss the insights that are available in them. Saint Teresa said, “The pain is still there. It bothers me so little now I feel my soul is served by it”. ”Saint Teresa of Ávila
    could hold onto contentment no matter what“The Watcher” was telling her. I can see we can make decisions based on wisdom & the equal input from “The Talker” &“The Watcher” Awareness of “The Watcher” can give me another source of information that helps me do what is right not necessarily what satisfies my ego
