The difficulty you describe is, I believe, certainly a part of both of those conditions. Some medications even contribute to it. For me, the antidote is to strive to live in the present moment. In the present moment there is only the present moment. It is where I try to live. I wish you well...   |
I know that most of the issues I raise are experienced by most people but I seem to continue to have existential crises in response to them, like I can't get suicide out of my head, I go from pretty good to nhilistic in hours. I never used to be like this, all started happening 2 years ago but more recently has been fairly bad. Like you said I need to focus on living in the moment which I'm struggling to do. I see a therapist but have so far not been working on specific issues as my moods have been fluctuating so much we've really just been working with pdoc to get the right medications first.
