How are you doing today Jacob?

Go into as much or as little detail as you wish. Or perhaps just press the thanks button. Or if you like, don’t respond. Whatever you feel comfortable with depending on where you are mentally.

I had 15 years of my life taken away from me due to my mental health.. I was diagnosed with 3 types of mental illness between 2001 and 2003. Life from the end of 2001 till around 8 years ago was mostly torture.

But…

For some reason, in general, I didn’t give up hope (although off course, naturally the situation at some points seemed very much without hope).

I have now for a few years been clear of all mental illness. I am now the happiest I have ever been, and am getting more happy with my life all the time.

I hope you can be clear of yours or at least live in a content way one day. I believe you can (even if you don’t).

Each human is stronger than they think. This, I know.

I don't know what it but it could be anxiety but I feel at unease whenever I am certain environments other than outdoors whenever I am indoors. When I am indoors I can sense the suffering or anxiety of certain people. Feeling of unease and that I want to get out of there. Even sitting down doesn't help me at all and I can see why people take up smoking as a result of it. I had an interview with an employer but I hate it how I have to feel this everywhere. It's such a toxic work environment.

I’ve recently come to realise I am possibly what they call an empath with clairscentience. Now I recognise changes in my emotional state too more than chance or product of imagination. I consider feeling energy to be as real as I can’t sometimes think of any other explanation for various things I’ve experienced. Although this sounds fluffy, it’s actually a sound explanation for many things I experience. It sounds like you might too. Grounding yourself and if it appeals, meditation is good for you. Or a walk by nature and trees.

That only offers me a temporary relief. But what if you are stuck in a meeting or an interview in my case and you can sense the toxicity in the room being projected onto me by people or the environment or in the room and I could sense the baggage from people. There is a high smoker rate where I had the interview so that should have been a big red flag. No amount of grounding could help me. I don't know why I feel such anxiety/shocks around toxic people who have a lot of baggage and take up smoking as a means of fighting it or people who project such low energy or vibes.

This all sounds to me like it requires professional help.

In what way though? I have been through the lot including a hypnotherapist. Most of the doctor will just pump me with drugs which is not something I want to do. In fact I think the toxic people need help as well because they are projecting it onto me or I can sense potential danger.

Archon is right. If you belong to a mental health team. I live in UK where areas have separate teams to help with people who are in further need beyond what a GP can assist with.

Although I mentioned empath / clairsentience. It is something I m continually looking for further proof of as it’s actually possible it’s 100% imagination on my behalf seeing as I have a ripe imagination which I use when producing music. . For many who worry in environments, it’s down to standard fears indicating a need for professional help. If you belong to a team in your area, let them know your current situation. If you need access to one , it’s accessible through your GP / Doctor. It’s always good to talk to a doctor about these things anyway. I had a team supporting me for many years and they were great. I chatted in person to a mental health nurse every 2 weeks for years, same nurse. I see him now and again these days as he goes to a bar/club for electronic musicians because he also produces electronica. Funnily enough when I used to see him when I was quite ill, I swore I’d never make music again as I was convinced it was partly responsible for my mental health issues. , but he used to encourage me. That was probably around 2004/5. I started again in 2019. Better late than never

I disagree with you and I have seen a lot of psychologist. I am not doubting what I felt and what I perceived in that environment and I suppose I need to look at ways of using different coping mechanism. I don't feel this way around all of the smokers where I felt this it was mainly in corporate environment where I felt this kind of feeling of get me out of here and I could feel the baggage or the trauma they've gone through.

Have you had bad experience with mental health professionals. If so, I’m sorry to hear that. I was given a label which was a diagnosis of schizophrenia which I thought I had for years. Years later a different psychiatrist believed that was incorrect. Quite strange to wonder round for 15 years believing you have schizophrenia then hear later you may have had something more palatable .

 

[Bobby Summa]

If you have a friend with experience of working in this area it might be good to ask them what they think. What you are experiencing sounds horrible and I sympathise with you. But I would have thought whatever it is, you need constructive help from some kind of source.

 

[Bobby Summa]

I don’t want to encourage the possibility it’s feeling others energy too much as if that’s not it then thinking it is, can be harmful. Plus, no real proof exists of its possibility. Off course we have our own spiritual enquiry but that don’t mean it’s correct as there are a few possibilities. If you are able to not obsess your mind on this, it will help a lot. Grounding is a vague word but there are techniques I’ve used which help the mind. Mindfullness can do this and there are many sorts. One is to relax each part of your body from head to toe and while doing this you could try listening to calming music, but try not to dismiss outside help as you don’t want to get into highly uncomfortable states of fear and then have great issues functioning. I’ve been there, and experienced it for years. It was worse before my potential misdiagnosis.

I've been putting of saying this, but as someone who's had, like you, a traumatic experience, along with genetic factors and consequent depression/ axiety I think you might be approaching the problem in a wrong way m8..

All you seem to do is focus on coping strategies so you can be, (or feel) "comfortable" or comfortable again or Zen, or what have you..

- meditation
- resting in non-toxic environments
- hypnotherapy
- music

etc. .... even including the paletives/ drugs that your doctors seem to want to pump you full off.



non of these "retain-centre and calmness" strategies seem to work for you long run as the problem will, sooner or later, come back by sheer neccesity alone.

Might I suggest another approach? (mind you, i'm not a professional, but it worked for me)

I improve it through yoga. Chair yoga, as outlined on BetterMe, offers gentle exercises you can do while seated, making it ideal for relaxation and stress relief. This practice can improve flexibility, reduce tension, and boost your mood without requiring extensive space or time. Check out BetterMe's guide for easy-to-follow chair yoga routines that can effectively support your mental health.

tbh I think physical well being, so sports, exersize, yoga etc. is probably the most underrated treatment for depression symptoms out there, next to nutrition.
people keep forgetting that our brains and body's are one. and you can affect one via the other.

Ice baths and outdoor water sports, especially intense and even dangerous ones tend to keep me sane and even made for quick recoveries after fall-backs.

Yesterday at a bar where we are on holiday, I had the most important interaction I can remember having in my whole life.

This 50 year old gentleman was there because his wife’s ashes were scattered there 11 years ago in the sea.

This gentleman went on to discuss with me and my wife some of the difficulties he has and has had in his life.

Me- I have been carrying such a chip on my shoulder about the period I was mentally ill in, starting in 2001 21 years where for 13 of them my life remained at Ground 0, deliberately enforced by me. I made 0 decisions of any consequence during that time. I couldn’t make a decision as I was unable to feel things, only able to have 10 trillion thoughts per second. A mind out of control. I was somehow scared to feel anything.
I Could only work (at times) for my father’s family ran accountancy business with my mum and sister. Working for anyone else was not an option. I had a particular specific fear of something very unusual which dominated everything I did. No therapist could change that in me. Thus, I chose to make no decisions about my life. I was single and had no partner or sexual activity for 16 years during my illness till the year I met my wife in 2017. I was cured more or less in 2022.

This gentleman had had such a continuously difficult life that for the first time ever I actually thought, someone has had mental / emotional pain levels within them like me…and I never thought I’d say this, but more than me.
Il name but a few…and I’m sure there’s more he didn’t say…Made homeless for four years aged 17…. Prison for a few years….Suddenly Being told his wife had 4 days to live when he was 49. She was then in a coma for 2 months and died a few days after bringing her out of it….. Having to look after his mum with dementia and double incontinance and doing the personal care. …. He had 4 stitches in his head that his current ex partner had given him. He was wandering whether to get back with her as was showing us her texts. ( I and my wife suggested he didn’t) . He also told us about his father who stole 1.3 million from his grandmother( his father’s mother) and who had treated him, himself with contempt and abused him. He got angry every time he mentioned him accept once at the end of the conversation.

I couldn’t believe I’d met someone like that. It’s the most helpful realisation I can remember ever having as an adult that others have suffered pain levels greater than I had. It’s meeting someone in person, not just hearing something on the news or reading something that enabled this realisation. So much more real when you meet an individual in person who shares with you these things.

We went back to the hotel room and I cried in my wife’s arms. I really didn’t want to but it came out uncontrolably. I’ve never done that. I don’t cry often.
