[Mr.Arch-Vile]

TLDR: Feel like a newbie/noob in relating to others on these forums.

As much as I like this place, I feel like I'm out of the loop with most mental health situations.

For instance I see a lot of illness on here coming from some serious trauma in one's life that I just can't relate to.

All I have to offer is general wisdom.

My mind set:
Basically I read your problem, then want to say "hold a stone and believe it is everything you've just said, place it on the ground and walk away from it." Notice the stone it still there but it is no longer your burden but the surface of the earth's problem, it is neither mine or your neighbor's burden. You do not need to constantly be looking at the stone to know it exists, therefore you can walk away with it in mind that a stone of yours exists and has been placed properly on the ground.

Bonus:The difference in stones of an indivuial and a country is like dropping a small pebble to the ground and meteor striking the earth

My problem is tailoring what I've just said to be useful relatable material to another person's problem or dilemma.

Another reason for posting this is I figure a great portion of you readers will see what I am saying and apply the concept. I am sending out a good intention here to be picked up and used.

Very Respectfully,
Arch-Vile

actually I left something out, I was first diagnosed as schizophrenic then biploar.

What happened was I had symptoms with a therapeutic level of lithium which broke me out of the biploar diagnosis.

What I've learn with this corner of the medical industry from my experience that it is never to easy to tell if someone has something.
To me the medical terms are made up and the pills don't matter. Not saying I advocate medication free treatment but it's just to complex of an industry to be absolutely sure you are something.

Where I'm coming from is I see a lot of people that I am not with certainty they have anything wrong them in the present form. I it see this way, whatever you had wrong with you the past is over and done with. You are not forever your diagnosis or your medication, you are simply a person who enjoys taking their special "viatmins". From this if you can ground yourself in the present you stand in then you can have any practical future you want.

Well...

On the one hand, one could read your attitude as being a bit callous, more on the "suck it up, buttercup!" or "pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" side of things.... i.e. just drop that pebble/boulder and be done with it!

But...

On the other hand, I think that you're showing a lot of insight and sensitivity in admitting that you can't relate to other people. I think it shows a lot of character that you are posting and saying that you want to support people but you don't feel like you can do it in the right way.

I wish there were more people like you. (If you couldn't tell, I don't really believe you're a part of the first scenario I posted....I just wanted to show two possible reactions to what you've said.) I think that you are a sensitive person who truly cares about other people. Kudos to you!

I believe you nailed it, I try not to be too sensitive because I believe being way to sensitive would make things a hindrance.

Imagen, if you will, driving into the sun set without the filtering of sunglasses, you would have a tough time seeing through the glare. In other words empathy to others is like a light turned on for others to walk away from darkness, how sensitive you are determines how bring the light is. If one is way to bright it just becomes hindrance to move in the darkness, think to on coming traffic and the guy coming towards you has his high beams on.
