I think I need an intervention. I'm not doing a good job of leading this life, someone should do something about it. It's obvious that I'm not responsible enough to handle this. Someone that knows what they are doing should take over and straighten this all out.
It's in despair that people have religous experiences. Traumatic things happen, people find god. I'm in a constant state of despair yet it doesn't seem to go deep enough. I'm not looking for god, in fact I told that guy to fuck off, but it would be nice to trigger someway of getting better.
Jung says the religous experience is the minds way of healing itself. I need to be healed. I just have no idea of how or why I've been injured. I've tried to induce healing several times over my life, but it doesn't take. I write things out, make a drawing about it because that's what you are supposed to do. I make promises to myself that I don't and can't keep. I refuse to seek an intervention in the form of a pill because for me that would be giving in. But, I'm tired of living like this. I need to find a new way of living. I'm just scared to try.

I don't think any of us, regardless of what we believe, are responsible enough to handle life. Mia brings up a great point . . . I'd bet decent money (maybe enough to buy into an Annie Duke poker game
But I don't think religion has to be the answer. I think more of my psychic healing has taken place rowing at dawn on a cold morning than it has from my religous experiences. I think we have to find certain places, people, and activities that make us feel calm deep inside and then return to them when we need intervention.
That's probably not much help, but it's where I'm at right now. I've been struggling with similar issues lately. Hang in there, buddy.
