People with depression are more likely to say certain words [qz.com]
AncientNight comments on Nov 18, 2019:
It says at the end of the article that there are approximately 300,000,000 (three hundred Million) depressed people in the world. An increase of 18%. I wonder, did they count the people with Bi-Polar Disorder in that number? Or the people that are suffering through Grief? Or the people that go ...
Freedompath replies on Nov 20, 2019:
@AncientNight I had much better luck. Over a 25 year period I must have had at least 20/25 therapist and only 2 that I remember could not relate to me. (But I also did a lot of research and reading on my own, I never depended on any one person to have all the answers.). Nevertheless, I gleaned something useful from the ones that could not relate to me...everyone cannot be expected to relate to me and that is perfectly ok.
Wow! Scorching.

Freedompath replies on Nov 20, 2019:
@AncientNight That sounds like a plan. When I made the decision to move so far away from my children...there was a worry that we would loose our effection or somehow even our love. And, it has turned out to be the opposite. They seem more forthcoming and caring toward me and when they visit we are happier together. The niece and nephews that were on the ‘fence’ back in Ga, have not adjusted by being happy that I am here...they seem more distant! My friends who I now see less are the same as they always were! So that’s life. But, life is still better for everyone when we are happy.

Freedompath replies on Nov 20, 2019:
@AncientNight Everything about each human is individual. That I agree to. This grief study is from research and not ‘pop culture!’ At a basic level we are all human with the same brain layout. But environmental factors has a determining factor in which parts of the brain are developed in one way or the other. It’s all in our brain as to what behaviors we adhere to and even our coping skills. After thinking about our discussion on ‘wisdom,’ it occurred to me that to know if our counsel is ‘wise’ we must first apply it to ourselves. How would we know if something makes sense, if we haven’t put it to the test in our own lives. I think that is what I have done...I have applied all that I have learned on myself first, then I know how to pass it on to others.

@moosepucky maybe, I did not make it clear...I do not believe people should go to jail or prison over the use of Marijuana. I don’t practice ‘double speak,’ and a whole lot of people that i know are not the most intelligent among us...that are using marijuana. Many have major emotional problems. I hope that I figured out what you were implying.

Freedompath replies on Nov 19, 2019:
@AncientNight I know and I have read your post. There is a very good possibility you are hung up in one of the 5 stages of grief. It is a ‘real’ process and it could help you to try and find some counseling on that. I know all about it, but I have forgotten all the details...I just learned the process...so now it is a kind of automatic response when I must face that kind of grief! I believe grief is the hardest thing that we ever go through...so who can do that easily, not many people that I have known. I had help, I hope you can find some help with that, you deserve to move on! Your wife would want the same, if she were here to say...🤗

Freedompath replies on Nov 19, 2019:
@AncientNight That sounds like a great idea...since I have moved 2/3 across the country I have a new lease on life (but loving the West also matters). It makes new brain cells, anytime we are forced into unchartered territory! I was pretty decrepit back in Ga, and my whole family took up ‘arms’ (emotional) against me over this move! And, now they are ‘aghast’ (I see it in their faces and they confess), at the transformation to my physical health and my mental state! In fact there has been a major shift...and often times I say to myself why didn’t I have ‘this’ years ago? Somewhere along the way...’life,’ robbed me, of essential knowledge and I kept having less and less to work with! Now, this move was not without many hitches...there are still a few even today...but I am living a ‘real’ life (that fits me), I am on purpose, everything I do. I do it on purpose! So I have the ability (my brain is better) to solve whatever problem comes up! (I am still scared and sometimes angry over ‘stuff!’) But, because I have figured out what makes me happy...all those family members who kept trying to run my life...have stopped! Lol. (Being 1500 miles away has helped, he he.) We live and learn...we don’t base our life on the past (we do need a clear vision of what we want our life to look like as we progress into the future), but the best life is lived in the moment! We do make amends for our errored ways of the past and still we need to make this our best moment! I am a mother of 5 children and because I had few ‘people skills,’ when they were small children, my actions caused great harm...not only have they let me know it, but I ‘knew’ it as well...after the fact! When the force of that knowledge really resonated..,I wanted to die, because l loved my children more than anything else and I caused life altering harm to the very people I loved the most! Now, working with them and myself...we have tried to correct what went wrong, and I can still have days that some hurtful action to one of them comes to my mind...but, I don’t ‘live’ there and I get out of ‘the past’ into the moment! I need to be my very best for ‘them’ now...I can’t change the past. ‘Life is a journey, not a destination!’ Work out your past, to see the error...but don’t ‘live’ there! What would be the gain? I am for what best benefits us...not what hurts or damages us now. Good luck!

Freedompath replies on Nov 18, 2019:
@AncientNight it may have something to do with not believing that what you ‘are’ and what you have come to know from your life experiences, is not ‘good enough’ for anything...after all your past has not been a ‘perfect example’ of a man? I am paraphrasing words from you that I have taken to heart! I have struggled with this same idea for myself, but I have come to realize we are not our past...we are not our pain AND, from where we have been and what it took to get ‘to here’ is valuable! We became something wiser...that we use for our own good and...can be a beacon for others that may define their human worth by their past errors! We are not our past...we had a past that we clawed our way out of it, to a better place! I am useful, just being me! I don’t have to ‘preach’ to people and I don’t have to hide who i am...like I did in the past (because I thought I was not ‘up to par’)! It takes work to make a better life from a broken one...and a live example of that, speaks volumes to others, that need a better direction. Which, from what I see here in the world...is a lot of people who struggle with being human! Does this ring true, at your end?

@Sansdeus I am sorry your mother told you that you could not find someone to love you. I am a mother and that would be so unkind to say to my child. Your mother spoke from ignorance, all kinds of people find people to love them! But, I do know from personal experience that a depressed person will take this pronouncement ‘to heart’ and it becomes their ‘swan song.’ Depression calls everything about us into question...then slams the hammer down! This is not who you are, there is a chemical in your brain that is not performing properly...so when you can get that in balance...you can find the answers that you need for yourself!

Freedompath replies on Nov 18, 2019:
@Sansdeus you say that you believe yourself to be a good person...if this is true, then give ‘your good’ out to everyone you meet. It is a ‘giving’ from your nature...not something used to impress someone. Really ‘see’ that other person, anywhere you meet them, and show your acceptance of them as they cross your path. This will help you to feel connected. As, there are many people hurting and we never know it (I have been one of them myself). So use your good nature for others and especially for yourself! This is a slow process and you must practice it regularly. That ‘other source of fulfillment’ is when you can accept yourself fully and find ways that support you...like what do you enjoy doing, what makes your heart sing or what makes you feel at peace? Do those things! And, be prepared to ride out some really bad painful feelings after a divorce (or any breakup). They are second only to a death in a relationship. So they are painful for quite a while...I have experienced 3 divorces and they were all very painful. It took time...lots of time, struggling to divert attention from the pain. But, it does dissipate and become manageable and eventually you regain your balance. So do what ever ‘good’ thing that you can think of to do...that will distract you from the hurting. You are trying to dilute the hurting, until it has run its course! The pain will subside..,just know that!

@Remiforce I see levels here...everything is changing all the time...nothing is, as it was yesterday! If we relate this to people in general, few people are the same their whole life, maybe they don’t blossom into something more colorful!, and their change is not so noticeable. Adaptation takes time and hardly anyone adapts at the same time! Indigenous people can be the same for hundreds if not thousands of years!
Trump's our sucker and fool!

@LucyLoohoo no don’t ‘overestimate’...it might not be enough for trump to ‘stop in his tracks,’ but he knows! But his defense system is so well developed that he can do it in ‘auto pilot!’ The Universel knowledge is not dead! Some humans learn well, the art of pretense!

I once concerned myself with only getting a GED, (after dropping out in the 9th grade). I did get a couple of years of community college, but couldn’t see how to support myself and keep going. But, I have come to the conclusion in these latter years, that my worth does not depend on my lack of formal education! In fact I can hold my own with highly educated people. Even, as I have no desire to complete with them! That was always my problem, I felt at a total disadvantage when it came to competing, I would just ‘fold,’ on the spot! When we struggle for meaning...wisdom seems to be our reward...even when it appears society could care less! It matters to me and I hope it does for you!

His tax returns will probably show that he is in hock to the Russian mob with a minuscule or probably negative net worth. That plus the tax fraud. Remember, his sister gave up her lifetime appointment as a federal judge rather than have the tax returns on her father's estate investigated.

@genessa sorry...you missed the mark on all counts! Lol. Maybe too few words! The hearings are not boring, except for people who have not exposed themselves to serious discussions before. I was agreeing with you...with the word, ‘hardly’ about being boring. It never entered my mind about you personally ...so my words were not directed at you and your not being adept at serious matters. I was agreeing with your statement. I thought we were speaking about ‘some people’..but not us at the moment! But, maybe you were speaking just for yourself, in your original post? I just took it further!
You know everyone thinks Trump loves Russia over us.
Freedompath comments on Nov 15, 2019:
If you notice, trump always ‘bends a knee’ toward this personality (mean men)! There is something in his personality that connects to these people...the problem is that he has the responsibility of this Country, and he has no concept apparently, on how a Country is really supposed to function!...
Freedompath replies on Nov 15, 2019:
@MojoDave or could it be he is a ‘died in the wool’ showman? But, when he was elected, he just went about business as usual...if you remember he never bothered to figure out how the WH works...nor what different agencies were meant to do. His appointments were mostly temporary or he tried to let the agency kinda die! Nothing he has done has made good sense! He just seems to decide something...’cause things need to be happening’ suddenly! He is definitely the dumbest man on the world stage...that has revealed his true complete unadulterated criminal nature! The man is truely...not a man at all! He is just masquerading as a man! Empty...nothing there!
