I think this is the best reason to have plans - they help accomplish dreams and overcome the hurdles that lie in their way. Planning isn't about having lots of energy, it's about using what you have to the best advantage. Life does what it feels like though. It's like a giant invulnerable...

That's a shame, sorry your field didn't work out for you. At least you get to keep it as something fun to do. And it's strange where all these financial disasters are coming from. '00 - dot com crash, '08 - recession, '20 coronavirus. 2030 will be an alien invasion or worse. But I find planning...

Recently I have been researching different professional industries and it's suddenly become apparent how important it is to have a plan. It's embarrassing not having one or knowing how to build a realistic one. Do you follow a plan in life? If so how do you structure/design everything?

It doesn't surprise me that you could pull that off. There's a lot of stories out there of people taking liberties with the truth or lying outright and pulling interviews easily. Honesty is hard to come by. I don't know if that kind of strategy is for me though. Seems very risky. That's a...

Ha. This mask wearing is a load of nonsense too. But there aren't many retail outlets where I'm at. Headhunters aren't even having much luck with me. I wish I could build my confidence up to support some sort of technical skill development. Living alone makes you stagnant.

I have struggled with work for some years and since corona it has been impossible. I don't hold down jobs for very long due to the lack of responsibility or challenge and tend to drift. This does not make me a prime candidate on paper exactly yet I still have experience and used to find work...

C'mon, I am so tired now, going out and volunteering or jumping into clubs has got so old, I am so tired, I'm only looking for friends. What does this world WANT???!!!???

No, I did truly let the past go, and that was a mistake because I'd then have to go back, unearth all my previous work, dig it up, and explore it thoroughly to find answers because it was the only way to understand what the hell was going on. You discover all the old markers, find the...

That's really sad news that you're struggling so much. I wonder why they prescribed you those meds in the first place if your condition wasn't registered?? I hope you manage to hold onto your job - what will you say to your doctor?

I really think this is a good subject. If you're not careful you can end up overthinking everything to pieces. Here are a few things that work for me and get me more focused. 1. Simple breathing exercise. Find somewhere calm and safe. Turn off all electronics (except a light if needed). Sit or...

Thank you, I appreciate your compliment. You're right in many ways, consciously focusing about past events is not productive. But they were so disastrous and personal that I don't know how else to deal with them. At one point I was having the same nightmare almost daily for months and the only...

Thank you for your reply. The problem is not as simple as that. If I let go or try to bury it, it resurfaces itself or manifests worse. For instance I've sometimes found myself acting in really bizarre ways until I remember they're behaviors motivated by the past and nothing to do with reality...

Sorry if this is not the right section or even the right forum. I'm trying to get over my past. I understand it is not acceptable to think like this as an adult, the natural process is that you grieve, accept it and get on with your life. But I can't seem to suck it up or deal with it.  I was...
