I’m doing ok currently, although I feel lost in myself. Not because there’s much to me, but that there’s nothing, and I feel lost in nothingness, as if consumed by it, if it makes any sense. It’s been some days since I had these light quasi-psychosis episodes, and I’ve been trying to meditate a bit on these strange thoughts I got at those times, and although they seem crazy, I have only emptiness apart from them. It’s not necessarily bad and I don’t intend to complain about it, it is rather peaceful this way, although shallow and melancholic at times. In any case, I was thinking about childhood traumas, and the more I think about it, the scarier it gets, as I see many things that I’ve become came from some sort of traumatic event. There’s specially one that keeps popping in my head about this kindergarten I used to go to as a child, where they hit me with rulers for eating and writing with my left hand, because of child of satan of course! Nowadays I have a strange posture with my arm, eating and writing and etc, kind of similar to prisoner shoving food down in a prison mess hall or something. It’s I guess the more entertaining scene to tell about as well as the simplest, although most of these thoughts I stumbled upon lately showed me how events from old forgotten memories tailored particular modes of my mind and personality, which I guess is kind of shitty in places. I think this medicine I have has been acting up on me lately, for better and worse. I never had these weird episodes, they seem to be halfway between sane consciousness and psychosis, something like a diarrhea of thoughts like one would get from some drugs, where they seem genius and fast and all else, yet there’s also that bitter-sweet aftertaste of “maybe I’m just fucked in the head”. And I’m leaning more towards the latter (hence why these posts!)…

Its interesting. I just recently had a similar experience, that I was going over the events of my early life and now I can see clearly why I wound up…. as screwed up as I am. I really had a shitty upbringing and went through so much mental, emotional and physical trauma in my childhood its actually amazing that I lived to be my age. (43) I feel lost in nothingness at times Too. I really don’t have it that bad in life right now, but I don’t have it that good and I sometimes just feel uninterested in life. Like I just had enough of it. But I keep going. Somehow I make it through my days. I hope things get better for you. Pass out the Benzies!!
It’s how you think about yourself. You write as 80% people who are left-handed do, plus the Japanese and the Arabs.
Maybe you should avoid those places that trigger bad memories. If you take a route that has them included, you will get these memories flash in your head. I do avoid my evil places and it helps.
Yeah I agree that staying away from places that trigger bad memories is a good idea.
