The groups i attend for substance misuse have forever been feeling to "reach out" when you need help, and i have been "yeah i will, i promise" and i never have, up until a week ago a where i did reach out and the difference is amazing. I have had a chance to break the cycle of 'negative thought negative action'. I come from and old fashioned way of thinking that has proven to be hard to break 'men don't cry' 'put up and shut up' 'if something is wrong, deal with it dont go on about it, although now i think about, were the people the people around telling me that because they were old fashioned or were they just not interested?
I am starting to think that they were not interested, maybe if they were interested they would be by my side now, either helping or telling me to man up, which reminds me, here is a link to a beautifully awesome poem about the phrase "man up". It gives me goosebumps every time, i wish i knew about this poem at the time that i was growing up and having so called men telling me their distorted view of manly mannerisms.
Today is a good day and with the help of a friend who i reached out too, i have had a good week, it's like i have been injected with a different viewpoint, my problems are not solved and things could be a whole worse, it's been refreshing to spend my time passing the day with general chit chat as opposed psychoanalytically looking for comparisons between Freud and Jung in order to make sense of my existence.
I am starting to break the habit of consistently feeling like i need the viewpoint of an ologist, or maybe evan starting to accept that i don't have to keep trying to work out the reason for this, that and the other, i must admit my head has not been aching nowhere near as much, no i have shown myself that i can reach out and i can have a general chit chat about whatever, i am sure that i can keep the ball rolling, as the saying goes "the proof of the pudding is in the munching".
So i have learned something that is beneficial and will help get through the rough times ahead.
