Mental and Emotional Block Recently

[AndrewDSteele]

Last school year I was able to think perfectly and very satisfactory to my wants. Now, I find it hard to dig through my memories, I find it harder to imagine situations and look at things from other point of views. And when I mean hard, its like lack of motivation. Except its worse. My mind is almost saying "Stop it. Don't do that." Draining me of my motivation to do something, and when I persevere and actually get to my memories, it is hard to complete the tasks that I want to accomplish because it feels like my mind is implying "Dammit... Your such a pain in the ass."


Now for part 2. I used to be able to induce this really great state of mind, where I would feel a rising of my gut, and it would be similar to what I describe bloodlust, but it is really great and exciting and allows me to open more emotions. This year, I am nearly completely impossible to impress, I barely laugh at anything, and on and on. It takes a hell of a lot more to induce a simple emotion. I am afraid that I am on a path to becoming a sociopath, which is not necessarily a terrible thing, but I think that the lack of these basic human emotions is also distorting my thought process, which I mentioned above. It started during the summer, but I figured that it was the lack of any mental challenges that brought it on and it would be better when school came around. Now I am two months into school and it has only gotten worse.

I need help guys. Please. I want to be able to think the way I used to, I want to be able to feel these emotions. Last year I took a standardized IQ test provided by my guidance counselor and scored a great score, and I doubt I could produce the same results now. I still do great on regular tests, but my mind is on a rapid descent down a path I do not want to take.

Also, I recovered from serious depression that I had last year. Could that be part of this? Ask any questions you need, at this point, I will do virtually anything to help fix this problem.

Well this is good if you're really at this step.. you ought to be able to bat this problem right out of the park depending on the method you take..

First off let me tell you to stop judging yourself.. stop saying you have a problem.. a "depression".. a worry of becoming "sociopath" these ideas don't serve you..

Instead just say your changing.. you don't know what's going on but you can be okay with yourself however you end up..

Then I would say the easiest method I think for you to clear yourself of these problems and return to feeling good.. is probably "chakra's" now I'm being honest when I say I don't know a lot about it.. but from the small experience I have had with it.. I think it would serve you to learn "chakra's" and clear your system out with "chakra's" ideas..
Chakra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would suggest you find a online guide or a book in your local bookstore or some other method and experiment and see if you can find yourself feeling better

If this method cannot work for you.. then you will have to identify with methods that you would allow.. resonate with..

wow seriously i can relate to this. this was exactly my problem before. however i don't know the right solution. i went downward thinking that something was wrong with me because i feel like a lot of people can't relate to me and me to them i just feel like im diff from everyone and especially i have no one to talk to and i have no idea what to do either. i slowly withdraw from my friends and loss my confidence because i have no idea what's happening and i feel like im a psycho.


i agree with the master though i think that healing your chakra could help.

Hello Andrew! In my line of work I communicate about LIFE, EMOTIONS, ETC. all the time. I can tell you 100% that you are not alone on this. You are a human and with that comes it's ups and downs.

You see, in life there are many seasons. Sometimes it's it's Spring when everything is awesome and bright. You are growing and feeling good! But, there also has to be winters. In these times, you are still growing. The only difference is that you are feeling a lot of opposition in life. We all go through it no matter how much we try to hide it.

We don't need to label ourselves as depressed, psychopaths, or any other label. Instead allow yourself the space to grow. Take a deep breath and know you are supported in life. Your emotions and your life may not be exactly what you desire right now. So how about sitting down and writing down a list of what you want in life. I do this myself all the time and it's works miracles. Clarity is power!

If you know exactly what you want in life then you can clearly plan the steps needed.

I hope this has helped you and good luck to you!

I agree with Guru Shakti (except for his purple writing) and most others.

Honestly thinking about what you once had, or who you once thought were doesn't do any good.

I don't know about you all, but I'm big on playing poker tournaments. It's similar to once having a huge stack of chips that out numbered everyone. Then losing 3 or 4 big hands and ending up being the short stack. The player usually doesn't wait for the best opportunity to bet the rest of the short stack of chips and bets the rest of it at horrible times instead of waiting for the best opportunity. For whatever reason, it's a natural human trait.

The point of the story is stop thinking about the big stack. You are still playing. Think about the mistakes you've made and try to learn from the best you can and try not making them again.

I agree with you Donkey1. But just to clarify, I am a she, not a he! I like the purple, it's one of those great female colors LOL!!
