Are You Deteriorating; Stable, Or Improving

[This Ends Now]

...and the people who ****ed up our lives will be the rats and cockroaches crawling through the sewers.

And just when I was starting to develop compassion for spiders and cockroaches. :rofl:

One western idea similar to this came from Betty J Eaddy (sp?) who supposedly had a near death experience. She said that she could feel things from the perspectives of those she had influenced and what effect it had on those around them. Both the joy and the pain went way beyond what she realized as far as consequences of actions.

So the in the old example of boss yells at employee, employee goes home in bad mood and yells at wife, wife yells at child, child yells at dog, dog barks at cat, cat chases mouse would work out to be: when the boss dies he will feel the pain and stress of the employee, the spouse, the kid, the dog, the cat, and the mouse. If this is true then I really do feel bad for those who have harmed me. :Hug_emoticon:

Hi Ghost!
If I am to answer for this very moment--and what other one counts, really?--I would have to say I am improving. But I think it is mostly due to currently being on great meds. I'm not sure if the good effects will drop off after my body gets used to them, or if I'll continue to improve. Of course I hope to continue to improve.

At the very least, the new meds stabilized me to where I now can get good things from my work with my therapist, so that's actually a very good thing. Before the new meds, I had no hope of ever feeling joy in my life again. Pretty bad off for awhile there!

Good thread, Ghost, thanks!

I like the sound of this a lot. I'm very much into the idea of cosmic justice. I believe that we all end up reaping what we sow - if not in this life, then ultimately, in the next.

I would like very much for the people who helped me reach this point of devastation in my life, to someday get an insight into the far-reaching consequences of their actions.

I feel like TEN, making slow, slow progress with the tiniest of achievements, but going through the whole menu of deteriorating, stable and improving within each day.

My best friend and I have been talking about how I was at Christmas last year and I was just constantly bad then- partly because I was scared to death by feeling awful with the symtoms of PTSD but not having been diagnosed at that time. Now she feels that I have bigger runs of good days and some really hellish days dotted about, but I can, as I have today believe that I'm at all 3 stages in one day.

Does this make sense???:dontknow:
