Hello Friends,

Guchcha Chor I don’t know if this will be helping you genuinely but sure thought it's worth try. Recently at an annual cross cultural mental health conference I asked a very insightful, inspiring, and intellect physician Dr. Gabor Mate:

Q. In Buddhism the monks have mentioned "What gives you pleasure also gives you pain?"

 

A. Pleasure does not give pain but wanting to hold on to pleasure gives pain.

He further added that all psychological problems are lead by the ego.

The ego questions the existence with dysfunctional present.

Ego develops a mechanism to cover the loss of attachment during the childhood resulting in JUDGEMENT, projection, and defence.

 

Ego is desperate not to make us vulnerable as a result we live in stressful environment needing to constantly please ourselves.

 

The recovery is in recognizing  

Present v Pursuit

Being v Having

Attachment v Detachment

Peace v Happiness

 

Here I am not explaining in detail, and am leaving the statements which may appear to be vague. The reason I present is for further self reflection and realization in an individual basis.

 

Hope this help you

I m feeling really low today ,, I don't feel like doing anything mentioned above. I just don't wanna talk to anybody or do anything. I m not looking for remedy either.

@nepsy: I don't think you get it.

@youwan: I don't want to be 'high'.. just neat 'not low' would work.

@Subrath: thank you for that serius input...

@2:00am, looks like wrong thread!

@ HomLal,
I tried the observe thing you suggested. I have heard about it a lot and even tried it, but it never worked. But something about the way you explained it, i could better understand the idea. so i tried it again and it worked. I was having trouble falling asleep, having too many thoughts. I tried to observe myself, soon all thoughts disappeared, and i was calm. had good sleep and feel like a child today, i also had vivid dreams i cannot remember, but they were very entertaining.
Even though I am not the one who raised the issue, i thought i should thank you.

Thanks.

u should make an appointment with a psychiatrist and seek help.
