In your darkest momments...
1. What kind of thoughts do you have as they related to your day to day activities? - that it's all pointless, useless, that's there's no good in the world, and nothing I can do to fight that 2. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards those you love? - that they have no love for me, or if I can recognize they do, I will never be "first" on anyone's list, I will always be second to someone else in their life whether they be friend, family or otherwise. and then I feel awful, knowing it's selfish to expect to be first for anyone but myself. 3. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards others? - other than those I love, I don't give thought to anyone else. really. 
4. What kind of activities do you normally engage in during these times? - lots of sleep, lots of escapism, books, movies, the org, I generally don't leave my cocoon of an apartment 5. How long do your darker momments last? - lately, no more than an hour or two, maybe an evening. I've had stretches that have lasted months, sometimes withy weeks of me not leaving my house. 6. Do you cry? Or are you numb? - a bit of both. When I'm numb about myself and what's going on, I go the escapism route to make myself cry about other things. 7. What kind of advise would you give others about dealing with their darker momments? - that it will pass. It may take a while, but things always look better at some point or another. |

In your darkest moMents...
1. What kind of thoughts do you have as they relatE to your day to day activities? That being "plugged in" to corporate culture is absolute bullshit and it's not how my life was intended to be lived. Even at my worst moments, however, I know that it's temporary and I fantastize about the near future. 2. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards those you love? They all differ according to the person and what their faults are. General feelings of disdain, all serving the purpose of making me feel superior as a victim and justly sorry for myself. It's usually past resentment for things that I've pretended to forgive. 3. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards others? At my ultimate worst, I have little hope for mankind, especially Americans. As someone who lives in the States, it is increasingly difficult to get a good grip on feeling positive for the world as a whole, especially on the home front. Pop culture (television, music, etc) angers me, to the point of blind rage. I feel that children are victims of this mess and that they deserve a chance to be exposed to something genuine, something hopeful, a place where they crave to grow, to ask questions, to create ideas without predetermined ideas from their parents, peers, society, and government. About once every few weeks/months, I boil over in anger at adult humans in general and their collective rejection of higher ideas, of REAL solutions to our simple hurtful problems, and to put it short, the way everyone is so CONTENT with the garbage we're sifting through. No questions are asked. So few people understand my point of view and frankly, it leaves me incredibly lonely sometimes. Especially living where I live. It's a sea of complaceny, fads, debt, increased illiteracy, unhappiness, and reality television. 4. What kind of activities do you normally engage in during these times? Alcohol, bad food, little exercise, and I cut off contact from others in order not to hurt them too. I lie in bed a lot with my cat. 5. How long do your darker moMents last? Anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks. I've had months like this, but something positive usually manages to shake me from it more often lately. 6. Do you cry? Or are you numb? I cry more often when I'm happy, actually. 7. What kind of advise would you give others about dealing with their darker moMents? Take what's valuable from your moment of unhappiness and learn a few things about yourself in the process: you're not sick, you're human. The scope of human emotions contains unhappiness, anger and anguish for a reason. Refuse to feel "wrong" or abnormal just because you're unsatisfied with something/someone/some event in your life. Let yourself feel it. If you feel it's lasting too long, ask yourself why that is. And don't be dishonest when you answer. Oh shit, my hat done fell off | |

I believe many experience dark moments from time to time (some experience them every waking day), for me, it deals with some of the largest questions I have had concerning LIFE. 1. What kind of thoughts do you have as they related to your day to day activities? Recently, that even though I commit my day to helping others, at times, it is still never enough. It can get overwhelming at times. Even though, I know it's the right path for me. 2. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards those you love? Forgiveness (such as my biological mother, which was not always the case and many years of work to get to my place), love to my family of upbring (including lifelong friends) and undying support. This does not wave, it is solid. 3. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards others? I constantly work on this. Most of the time it is with compassion and great empathy, but not too long ago, it was with disbelief (concerning certain situations), even disbelief about myself. I recognize this and shift my way of thinking. I don't want to live a life that is judgmental, even though it requires constant work and reminding of myself, to not live this way. I am in a good place right now. Although, it has not always been like this for me. 4. What kind of activities do you normally engage in during these times? I go to work, do my job... and then seek solitude for the rest of my day, or even take a trip alone and within nature. (away from the city or intense populations) This is usually the period I seek for my innerstrengths. pinpoint my weaknesses and ask myself the critical questions... "What is my purpose? and What do I believe?" I have always found my place again and as I get older, the duration has become more fixated and balanced. 5. How long do your darker momments last? I feel lived in a very long dark moment, as a child and most of my early-mid adolescent years. As an adult, I have forced myself to study my past and even forced myself to learn about a lot things I did not entirely support or believe in, more often than not, remaining conscious to the reason. It still messes with your mind and finding you way out (on top) is never an easy task. I can say, at least I did not turn to illegal drug usage or any other permanent life changes, that have been destructive. I've been lucky or blessed... or whatever one would call it. Although I am done with seeking internal answers to the extent I was seeking and I am ready to give of my time to other cause or great needs. 6. Do you cry? Or are you numb? I have cried great reservoirs, some out of saddness and much out of anger. I learned that by crying, it toned down my physical side. My tempers (growing up) are nothing to be proud of. I am a pretty calm person now, believe it or not. I have never been on medication or had any kind of professional help (maybe my path would of been a much easier journey)  No, I would never wish my journey to be different in any way. I have made it where I am today (with hard work and determination), and I can honestly say, I am thankful and proud to be me.
readfeathers-queen's-english-edit 7. What kind of advise would you give others about dealing with their darker momments? You have to help yourself before anyone can ever help you.  Stop asking yourself "why?" "why me?" and make a list of what you do in life that is good/healthy or destructive, or excessive. Decide to commit to change. Eliminate or balance the activities in your life. Moderation and education is key.
But hey, what do I know.

It’s another day for the most part. they can be rather dark but I turn those inwards, internalizing them until it's too much and I release it. There are a few things I do during these times which are much more often then those around me think. I practice self discipline, some call it something else, I've been doing this for years now and no one knows. I figured out a long time ago that most around me automatically write off and dismiss the things I do and say as mellow drama or just something to get attention so I’ve been able to self discipline for all these years in plain site. I know enough to not do the obvious things like physical harm I can’t be explained...as a matter of fact one of my all time favorite movies deals with this. and I would have to say I’ve become quite numb to a lot of things. | |

What kind of advise would you give others about dealing with their darker momments? Learn from them, appreciate them and the opportunity for growth they provide...accept that they're normal, that they're supposed to happen at times...write down your thoughts, talk with one extremely trusted friend or loved one if you can...exercise, even if just walking...volunteer your time to take your focus away from yourself for a bit and have it on the larger whole and seeing your positive actions effect others...spend time in prayer and introspection, | |

I'm dealing with this rite now. I've NEVER had to think about or strive to be happy until this past yr, and now it is all at a climax.
1. What kind of thoughts do you have as they related to your day to day activities? I can't keep my mind on what is actually happening around me. My thoughts are everywhere but here. I feel like my head is going to explode. I think about death and how if it weren't for my kids I'd love to be dead. I wonder why I can't just be happy the way I am and the way things are. I wonder why I'm so ungrateful and why no one loves me. 2. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards those you love? The only people I truly love enough to stay around for are my kids, and I harbor nothing but positive feelings for them. My close friends who I love, I hate them for loving me....the happy me. Not the real me. The miserable one. I hate then for having perfect lives (in love) and complain about stupid shit, like their hisbands going fishing or something. 3. What kind of thoughts do you harbor towards others? None. 4. What kind of activities do you normally engage in during these times? Listening to music and daydreaming. I get bad headaches too when I'm like this.....Other stuff too. 5. How long do your darker momments last? My standard break from life is getting longer.... 6. Do you cry? Or are you numb? Both. I hold back tears though, so I only let out a small cry. 7. What kind of advise would you give others about dealing with their darker momments? I don't have any,. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies Whats it all worth only the heart can measure It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside | |

I have to add some stuff.
I just get the attitude like, life suck regardless, so ya might as well just chill and wait to get it over with. I feel like doing crazy shit. I don't carry much anger or agression, I'm not an angry person, but when I do get angry I get sick thoughts and feelings towards my husband. I have crazy dreams. I just like to mainly drive and listen to music, or read lyrics. I just wanna be left alone. All that stuff. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
