## Vignettes
> Liz said some things to me this morning that while true, they hurt.
> She's tired of dealing with my negativity.
> I'm tired of my negativity and tired of always feeling broken, things aren't right, or there is something I need to fix.
> So busy.
> Spent my entire weekend doing that stuff.
> And got nothing done on my big task lists
> I cannot remember a day in the past any number of years where I've not felt depressed, anxious, negative towards myself in someway.

> And for the life of me I can't get underneath what the draw is for me.
> What's the win ?

> Why would I want to feel like shit?It's exactly the opposite of how I want to feel
> I just don't enjoy physically feeling like shit anymore.
> Darren said it today, if you're tired and burned out frustrated etc.
> he said you're not taking care of yourself.
> You're no good to anybody until you get yourself better.
> Forgot to share one other thought.
> Feeling that the perception of my trip to others was a lazy, blissed out chill session for 5 weeks.When really I was struggling to find peace in my mind every day, trying to practicing self compassion and generally doing my best to BE with uncomfortable emotions.It was a great visit and enjoyed time spent with you and your family and time spent doing things, but I wouldn't consider it a vacation.
> My Dad spent the night at Albany Med.
> Getting another CT scan today to compare to yesterday.
> Make sure whatever bleed in the head was happening has stopped, and make sure no swelling—if good they release him.
> So, for now out of the woods.He has to deal with 2 broken ribs on his upper back, right side (coughing will be a BITCH), and I told my mom to take notes of any weird cognitive shit that he may do over next few weeks.
> a challenging day on the seas of the mind.
> Strong winds, large swells early but still choppy, dark clouds everywhere.Been through these type of storms before, but my fatigue is deep.
> Feels like there is more ballast to lose before smooth sailing.
> no.
> also still processing an emotional outburst from my father as we were going out to dinner last night.
> He went mental over seriously trivial stuff ( getting out of the car before I pull into the parking space because it will be easier for him ) Yelled at me, angry as all hell, and proceeded to get out of the car and slam the door.
> Acting like a 5-year-old.Anyhow, every day there are multiple triggers here for me.
> It's far more intense than remembering the past while sitting in sunny California.I sit here under 24/7 gray skies and rain/snow inside my parents' bubble feeling intense shame, guilt, and an overwhelming sense of failure not just on one ‘thing' or area of life, but failing as a human.I suspect you may reply and tell me that I'm a good human and I matter, I hear you, I understand you, I can see it logically, but I don't FEEL ITI'm struggling with the juxtaposition of the past, the present, and feeling emotions intensely while at the same time striving for equanimity and peace.I meditated this morning for 20 mins and half of it was spent crying as I focused on my breathing.
> And here I sit in procrastination in front of the one thing that WILL move me forward, my own website and portfolio.
> If I can get some momentum there I think it would help my psyche and emotions.
> Self-esteem is essentially non-existent and self-doubt very strong.All that by 12 noon today.
> 😊
> I'm beat.
> I'll look at projects tomorrow.
> going to watch something to zone out a while.
> brain is tired
> I just spent an hour on an archaeological dig inside my parents garage.
> I begin stacking items and trying to make sense of an amorphous pile of everything.
> 😳
> k, got home from the hike.
> I'm physically and emotionally exhausted.
> Meeting Liz, Darragh, Sallie and the Thurstons @ 6pm.
> Observation.Took parents and DARRAGH to train station, the are NY bound.It's both Fathers Day and 23rd wedding anniversary todayI've spent the day doing for others and largely alone.It's been contemplative.Thinking about invisibility and what is driving NOT wanting to feel that, or what is feeling that in the first place.
> In the past the thought would consume me and that is who I would become.Now it's just fucking annoying.🙂
> Yeah.
> Here.
> Been busy.
> Really tired and if I'm honest, sad
> I've been ok for a while, but this past week things are hitting hard.I'm pretty much on my own aside from interacting with the boys each day.Liz has been living in town with Joanna pretty much all summer.
> She was here a short while when she returned from camping in May, but when my parents came to town for graduation in June, she stayed down at Joannas so my parents could sleep in the master bedroom.
> And she hasent been back to stay since.
> Only visits to get mail and change of clothes.of course the mind wants to make sense of this and has come up with, a) she's wanting to get away from house and campus between school years since it looks like no one is going on a vacation (FYI-I can't remember the last time we've been on a family vacation, 5 years ago?) OR b) she really cannot take being around me (which when I think about that is like a knife in the heart—I've never wavered in my love for my wife, its that my illness has destroyed my relationship and my life)Besides I have negative money, and tons of debtors looking to get paid.
> So I'm not going anywhere soon.All this is to say that I'm trying REALLY HARD to stay positive and open, but when so much around you is the opposite of that if feels like paddling a canoe upstream in the rapids.I've felt that way for about 3 years now and I'm really tired of it.
> Just had a small interpersonal interaction with LizJust feeling the dark side of her.Little to know words, and flat.She seems extremely tired and burnt out or mad and keeps a lid on it.
> I cannot tell.There are parts of my ability to interact with her that are stymied for whatever reason.I have 2 things.1.
> I am concerned about her well-being with as many demands that are on her shoulders—in particular, with being the primary contact and caregiver with her mom and the myriad of details that involves.
> Besides the fact that her mom's health has been unsteady these past couple of months.2.
> I am so confused as to how to be most helpful.
> I've offered help anytime it is needed to both Liz and Sallie—perhaps I need to reiterate that to them.
> But I don't know if maybe going away again would be most helpful.
> Is my being here a burden to Liz because she's already dealing with a lot?
> I was gone 1/3 the year of the incident.
> I've processed it alone for myself, but not entirely with her.I keep thinking back on her looking me square in the eye and saying, "I'm done." and it pierced my heart.I love her dearly and have never wavered in my devotion to her, but I'm somehow standing here seemingly watching her suffer with trying to keep everything going.There's a part of me that thinks she wants a divorce, but a part of her is afraid to say it to me for fear of my reaction (considering her experience of my state of mind).This is all so fucking heartbreaking and sad for both of us.
> Our relationship should have never gotten into this weird space.Personally, I was just hit with a wave of tears and sad emotion—like love dying and had to pause.Was just thinking about the feeling of living between spaces in suspended animation like Man on Wire
> Can start it shortly.
> Going to meditate.Not feeling particularly well physically or mentally this morning.
> Just feeling big fatigue dragging uncertainty around for a long time
> I'm sorry to send this, but if I don't it will only live in my head.Sadly, my depression is back—I have to face it head on.I've had over a week of every day being mentally hard to get thru.
> Waking up directly in a depressed mental state (I know when I'm in it).
> Lots of spontaneous crying and an overwhelming feeling of worthlessness.
> I'm not doing ok as it repeats every day.I know its joblessness and my relationship making me feel this way, with a combination of rumination and self-hatred that doesn't allow me to take the boot off my own neck.The ego clinging to cultural standards and norms I'm not upholding or living up to, or just plain failing at it.I know its ego and cultural ‘norms' that have me feeling this way through comparing myself to others and "what's expected." The ego and its ability to lie and trick you is powerful.I've been working on my connection to ego and lessen its grip, but its fighting back for its existence—or that's what it feels like.I'm ignored, overlooked, and not spoken to by the woman I love and it feels permanent—no going back—and the idea of never reconciling and making up makes me not want to continue existing.I've never felt such deep failure in my life.I'll never be the same again, and don't know if I'll ever TRULY feel happiness or bliss ever again.I'm tired of life.——I know that after I send this I will start to feel better.
> It happens every time I send a text like this to you.I think its because I've shared it outside my skull sized kingdom and at least one person knows what's going on in my head besides me.
> applied to 13 more opps.
> Sent emails to local people who may be able to connect me to work, drove into town looking for "help wanted" but weirdly is was raining insanely and had to get the car back for LizI'm mentally exhausted.
> Honestly could probably fall asleep if I let myself.Mentally still feeling like crap
> have spent 3 hours this morning trying to get into Sallies PC.
> She forgot her login password.
> Have had to create a backup of all her files, fry the drive, and restore to factory settings.
> It's never felt more certain that Liz is done with me.
> Has said only hi to me this entire week.It's that or she has the best "wall" put up between 2 people I've ever known.Attrition?
> Is that's what's going on?Make me feel so rejected that I just go away?Im confused, mistreated, tired, frustrated, unemployed, broke, and miserableIn some ways going to Kona is like rubbing it all in my face"Here's what you gave up your wife and family for..." Been thinking about not going as it might be too emotional 🖤 for me, but then I'm just massively confused 🫤
> Liked "Right now is not the time to make it about you!Support your wife with this quest!You will get a job and your finances will turn around!Go to Kona and do whatever is needed to support the quest!Be vigilant with the depression matrix.
> Stop making up negative stories about the future!Throw down the glasses that are distorting your world and smash the shit out of them.
> (Really this could be good therapy - find an old pair of glasses or Sun glasses, label them (write on them) with all the filters you want to destroy (I'm not good enough, depression, confusion, Tired, broke, mistreated and whatever resonates.
> (This could be a piece of paper attached to the lenses).
> Then find a place you can unleash the wrath of your feelings and stomp the mother fucking shit out of the glasses!!!
> "
> trying to work, but its hard.
> Really tired from yesterday.Being "UP" and "ON" for 4+ hours.
> First time I've had to do that in nearly 2 years.Big headache this morning
> Not sure if any of that makes sense anyway, I am back in front of the computer right now going to review things, i've already done follow ups with everyone I've met with and have an active connection to, maybe work on my site a bit.I've been up and stressed since 7am.I've had my brain lying to me telling me stories about how awful I am and worthless and how I'm letting everybody down.
> Fatigue really cranks that shit up
> Tired of the fucking storytelling in my head.
> Bunch of fucking lies that won't stop fucking with me.
> Like having a poltergeist in your brain that incessantly haunts you
> Depression is BIG TODAY and was late last night.
> Part of my brain thinks that this is the first day of the rest of my life.And because I feel depressed in a big way tends to make me think that is going to be the rest of my life just more fucking depression.It takes so much goddamn energy and effort to pretend that life‘s OK, or tolerable.
> Feels like dragging yourself thru everyday just to get to the end and collapse mentally and physically.It's made me very jaded and cynical and I hate that
> My depression is back with a vengeance.
> Today and tonight has been hard to get thru.
> Aidan and Darragh have both caught me crying, they were shocked and simultaneously very kind and asked if they could help.
> I told them no.Im struggling mentally harder than ever.
> Just tired from masking and pretending nothings wrong 😑 it's all caught up with me this week here in Kona.
> The triggers were everywhere I looked.
> I leave here knowing I gave up 12 years of my marriage to this race and sport.
> Hundreds maybe thousands of hours of watching kids while ppl are doing 80miles on the bike.I feel punished every day.
> Sleeping on the floor or couch after 14 months is both sad and painful emotionally and physically (my back).
> It's my reminder every night that I made a mistake and I'm going to be reminded of this the remainder of my days alive.
> going to use time to rest.
> getting to this point has been exhausting, stressful, and riddled with anxiety, guilt, and shame.
> Today the focus is gratitude and letting go of the list above.
> I hear you.
> Been battling the depression and despair of relationships and when the mind and body are tired its VERY EASY for other old habits to go unchecked to a damaging degree.Part of the imbalance to balance challenges of life.Some people do not get blown over by some bits of life.
> But the longer I go on I'm convinced that I'm more autistic than I'm willing to admit.
> I have odd OCD things, weird anxieties, just shit that isn't logical, not Spock-like.
> Let me know next steps when you can.
> Been an incredibly busy week.
> My brain hasn't felt this tired in a LONG time.
> The clearest way I can describe it is that I'm feeling extreme amounts of shame and guilt that were triggered by the idea of trying to talk to Sallie about the most traumatic thing that happened to her daughter and I was a part of it.
> So I don't know if I can get over that Internally to allow myself the space to speak with her.
> I have a feeling she could be a great asset/Ally even though she is Elizabeth's mom.
> Sallie has known me for old most 30 years and I would think that she knows who I am and that I am not that evil thing that I was.
> Anyway, on the verge of getting me emotional again I'm just tired of feeling ashamed.
> Liz spent the weekend in town at Joanna's and still there tonight.I think she wants to be there during our call.Last week after the call I was incredibly triggered afterwards finding out she had "decided" to let things progress.I was very upset and disappointed 😢 and it made things more complicated to unpack than I thought.
> Of course my heart was broken and I let her know how upset I was.I was so mad I told her about my suicidal ideation and that in the darkest moments I chose them over the alternative, not once but twice.
> She knew I was depressed but not that far gone.
> All of this scares her.
> There is something deeper going on.In my conversation with Sallie yesterday I was sharing about my struggle with depression and the alcohol and the drugs.
> And then she shared about Adam and Greg list.
> His brothers, who have both gone through multiple periods of depression, drug use incarceration the whole ball of wax.I also need to know right now she is the only one taking care of her mother.
> Her brother Adam is MIA, and her brother Greg couldn't help her if he wanted to.
> His back is basically disintegrating on him and he uses a walker to get around now .
> Reflect on how much useful energy you have spent on fear and worry.
> If it solved your problems, then please continue.
> If you find it wasn't energy well spent, find a new relationship with the challenges that concern you.
> And both times I wanted the pain and suffering to stopI wanted it all to end so the pain would end.I then realized I would just be passing my pain onto my family.Now I'm facing divorce and I have no control over the hurt hitting my boys having their family broken up.Thinking of their pain, and my own is truly unbearable for me.After this truly goes through I'm not sure I can go on.I'm closer to the real deep pain of this than I ever have been after yesterday.And now that everyone is feeling pain, passing pain on isn't as traumatic.Difficult to be traumatized when you're already there.I really feel done, defeated, and tired.
> I'm off to bed.Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the universe will take on meSo when I die before I wake
> I know I can be happy alone.
> How I grew up really.
> I spent many winters all by myself in my room growing up.
> So I know I can get back into that mindset.
> It's not a problem.
> I am really used to being all alone, it's just that I haven't been in a very long time.
> There seems to be no way out from the place, I'm in.
> No matter what I do, the pain repeats again.Depression grips me tight.
> Isolation is my friend.
> Unable to communicate; I'm in a constant trend.My thoughts are delusions.
> My actions, unskillful ways Self-hate, self-loathing Consuming all my daysMy wife wants out Despair, my constant mate Unable to change my ways My life, I cannot recreateI try to reach out But my voice is but a whisper Invisible, ignored My world, a constant blisterThe weight is heavy My soul is tired and worn I pray for a way out For a new hope to be bornBut for now, I'm stuck In this dark, endless night Searching for a glimmer of hope In this world without light.
> Every day I wake up crying.I'm being forced into a life I don't want.I've spent my entire life getting my life to this point and I don't want to change tracks.Why is it I have to be forced into something I don't want an order for Liz to get what she wants?Liz has always gotten what she wants in this relationship, Whereas I have not.When is it my turn to get my way in this relationship?
> On my plane.
> Lots of emotions in this past day.
> I'm exhausted and just taking off.Apologise for the flood of crazy texts.
> I'm not very good at this.
> Whatever "this" is.
> Right before I went radio silent with you for the past couple days, I was ranting as you could see if you scroll back in this this thread.
> I was in a pretty miserable place, and the ideation went to planning for the first time.
> And I watched my mind do it, and observed it, and just was an observer.
> But it is the first time my mind went that direction, and some thing inside of me did not stop me.
> In the past, there is that we spent some thing inside me That I can't describe but would surface and say OK this is enough stop we got to stop this.
> And I would stop.
> This time that didn't exist it was gates open.
> Proceed forward.
> Again realizing how grateful I am for you, listening to my fire hose of pity and despair.
> While I'll never say I won't feel pity or despair again, there are moments when I don't feel it, so that.My awareness is finally attuned to just how heavy this is hitting my ability to be sharp.
> I have hard-core cognitive fatigue.
> Hi there, I just spent an hour and 10 minutes on the phone with Derick.
> I have to head into meetings in 30 minutes for an hour and a half, then I'm free after 3 o'clock Pacific for the rest of the evening.It would be good to connect later if you can swing it.I still feel like I'm walking to the gas chamber, not knowing what I did wrong.
> Woke up poorly again today.
> In bed for 10 hours and I still feel exhausted.
> Have a headache and serious wondering why I'm still here?
> I have work and stress, and sometimes they happen together.No joy, happiness, contentedness, relaxation, inner peace, satisfaction, well-being.
> None of that for over 3 years.Why does no one believe me when I say my life sucks and I want out?
> Wow.
> Back from hike/walk.
> Mentally exhausting day from both work and life
> Last time I spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME doing my resume and website.

> Left me falling into the hole 🕳️
> Just spent 4 hours contacting creditors and letting them know I can't make payments.
> AMEX wanted to charge me $56 on the spot to start their program.
> I told them I dont have it, and they hung me out to dry.
> Basically sorry you're fucked and we're going to report you to credit bureaus
> I'd rather take out that money and take the hit since it's my money and who knows I could get hit by a bus after Darragh graduates then I spent the money well.
> I think about it if you were in my shoes and had that resource sitting there.
> It is my money, so why wouldn't I use it?Let me know what you think about that
> What was wild was me being bummed for about two seconds for both items and just moved on.
> Typically I'd be whining about it inside my head.
> I never happened.
> Anyhow I'm just wandering through Walmart as I talk into my phone.
> I will stop now because I'm gonna go buy some beer, and then I'm gonna go sleep in my car because I'm fucking exhausted.Tomorrow I should easily be at Lake Casitas
> Today was a really tough day.
> One of the hardest days I've had since being back here.
> I feel a deep fatigue, the likes of which I haven't felt since I had Covid.
> I'm gonna stay in Walmart parking lot tonight if security doesn't kick me out like they did in Oxnard.Being alone in the car 6 o'clock on a Friday night and driving down the middle of town and seeing everybody having a good time.
> So many weekends of the past, three years of my life have been nothing except for two and those were this summer in Iowa.At least, if I could date, it might take my mind off of things, however, being unemployed and homeless isn't really a great look for the dating scene.I'm getting really tired of all this.
> My current situation isn't sustainable long-term.
> My brain will explode.
> True my entire life.
> I've never been a magnet for women.
> I struggle to connect with people.Shame I feel "less than" I've thought that way since I was five years old.

> Just spent an hour and a half speaking to her on the phone, and we are meeting for drinks tomorrow night.
> Bonus fact, she's from England so she has a fantastic accent.!
> In the morning, I feel like I can't push through another day and get to the end of it so fucking exhausted.
> Mentally,I feel like I'm doing nothing but so fucking exhausted every day.
> I can only think the weight of all of this on my mind.
> I'm really drained.
> Deeply exhausted.
> I find it difficult to rally at all.The desire to deny myself things is HUGE right now As if I don't deserve it.
> Stems from childhood trauma
> Wow.
> I just spent 15mins with UX Builder and its helped me write the entire outline for this web-based app idea.
> Its raised issued I didn't know I didn't know (priceless) and I should have it edited soon.
> I'll share it with you so you can scan over it and see.
> Anyhow, I am about to head into Ventura for a day of DoorDashing.
> Feeling very tired.
> I may take a nap this afternoon.
> Last thing I want to do is get sick while living in the car.
> I'm going to go offline for about 10 minutes.Meditation, and working towards getting grounded.I am feeling frazzled and exhausted.
> Looking forward to the day when waking up and being alive doesn't trigger the mind down a hall of mirrors it's familiar with, fear, anxiety, dread, deafening solitude, and a sense of what happened to get me to this fucked up point in my own "journey" or story made up in my mind.
> Please don't let Don know I shared this but he came at me fairly in solo channel and you can see what I started in the screen capture.Sometimes people hit a nerve and I write a stream of consciousness like this——Because I'm homeless living in my car, unemployed, and still in divorce no man's land having spent any money I ever saved.
> I own no land, stock or anything.
> I've been living on the edge of falling out of society so I'm busy working door dash and Uber eats, sleeping in my eGolf.Why does someone like me who paid into the unemployment insurance system for decades become ineligible now because I'm a 1099?Fuck the Psycho Right-Wing Capitalist Fascist Industrial War Death Machine already.Hat tip to GNODAlso, "Well, Americans don't care for much of anythingLand and water the leastAnd animal life is low on the totem poleWith human life not worth more than infected yeastAmericans don't care too much for beautyThey'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a streamThey'll watch dead rats wash up on the beachComplain if they can't swimThey say things are done for the majorityDon't believe the half of what you see and none of what you hearIt's like what my painter friend Donald said to me"Stick a fork in their ass and turn 'em over, they're done""Lou Reed Last Great American Whale
> But I am tired as hell.
> Would be nice to work more on the project and finish heuristics today.
> Then I can send a report and an invoice as the first 25% of the project is done.
> So I've called it a day on dashing, moving around and driving all that much as you know doing UPS has a weird way of making you tired.So for the remain car charging which is gonna take about 35 minutes I'm gonna do a 10 minute meditation and a 20 minute nap binaural beat brain reboot thingy on YouTube and then head to Starbucks get a coffee and go full steam ahead on finishing the heuristic evaluation.
> I had Jenica tell me this morning that I kept her up for a good portion of the evening because I was swinging my arms and kicking and doing all kinds of shit while I was sleeping and then I was mumbling as if I was having a full on conversation with somebody and it went on for a long time.Makes me realize why I'm so fucking tired all these years.
> I'm living an entirely another life in my subconscious.

> is poured into keeping my head above water each despite having weights tied around my ankles.Getting through the day is the accomplishment.
> Thinking about the future, or tomorrows isn't on the table right now.
> No time or energy for it dealing with my present situation.
> Supposed to DoorDash from 3:30-7 in OJAI Was scheduled to this morning but slept on streets of Ventura last night.Wanted to stay here and watch.Last round of play just started and we'll know who is champ soon.
> Maybe by 3pm but I may head back to Ojai at 2:45 to dash.I'm still very tired.Had Fight Club in my sleep again.
> Anyway...It's going to take me a long time to recover from this experience.Experiencing 3 life traumas while trying to heal childhood trauma, no biggie
> I just spent two hours DoorDash Ing Six dollars.
> Three times I went to the supermarket and their card got refused.
> I spent all the time shopping and I had to put everything away and I got fucking nothing.
> I'm so pissed like fucking eat.
> Just up.
> Feeling super tired.
> I think I'm doing fight club again in the middle of the night.
> I got a tax refund overnight deposited into my account and then woke up to find Adobe went in and took their 60 bucks so I guess I need their apps, but I also need money to survive so fuck.It seems like even if I get the tiniest bit ahead like $50 ahead something calms and chops my feet out from under me.
> Just fucking tired I'm sick of this and I don't want to do it anymore.I think the medication dosage change is kicking in because right now Would typically be crying like a motherfucker, I'm not crying.
> I'm just sort of staring off into space blindly numb disconnected lost
> Oh hey 👋 7pm start.
> I just left Starbucks.
> I needed to leave.
> I've spent all day every day this week in there.
> Starting to go a bit nuts
> I am about 2 miles from the parking lot where I park pretty much every night.
> And, I don't know, when I got to the end, I had a huge pause for a good minute about rather not being able to say the next thing, but in my mind, I had like 50 plates all spinning at once, I'm just fucking tired.
> All my brain does is spend time in this fucking existential worry and it's not good to be there all the time every day every night every day every night over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
> While it hits you even if you're numb to it, you still realize that things are fucked up you know maybe I should've been hospitalized my whole life and I'm one of the crazy people that got let out and I just assimilated to culture and society and made it this far!
> OK, it's time for a cupcake a pat on the back and off you go
> I did OK I made 30 bucks.
> And I've already spent someone food and I got myself one beer.
> My plan for tonight is right now.
> I'm at storage to clean out my car so there's room for everybody and it's not so smelly then I plan on driving down to Ventura And park in a spot I've parked before that's near a Starbucks.
> That way in the morning I can get up go to Starbucks and chill because they'll be a good chance.
> Train will And park in a spot I've parked before that's near a Starbucks.
> That way in the morning I can get up go to Starbucks and chill because they'll be a good chance.
> Train will be late.
> Thank you 100,000 times over for helping me out today.
> It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated at all.
> Headed to sleep in my car I'm about to let my mom know that I'm not coming back to the hotel.I would have to share a bed with your mom and one thing I have no control over is when I sleep I sometimes go to fight club and Jenica told me this.
> I had no idea that I did this but in the middle of the night I start fighting throwing punches kicking yelling.
> It's not a one off either.
> I do it a lot.
> It explains me at least why I wake up feeling so exhausted because I'm living an entirely another life in my subconscious while I'm sleeping.
> So the last thing I wanna do is your mom and I am more than OK sleeping in my car.
> I've been doing it for a long time and I am actually very comfortable being inside this vehicle by myself.
> It's a safe space.
> Said it once I've probably said it dozens of times I'm just too fucking tired from all of this past year.
> I don't want to build a new life.
> I'm just too fucking tired to do it.
> I just got done on the computer at 2011.
> I am parked in Ventura however, in the last hour, I have felt wave of sickness come over my body.
> It's I feel extremely tired and I feel that cold achy fever feeling.
> Ok i'm leaving this brewery.
> It's the third one I've been to and the third beer I've had tonight which is enough for me.
> Fortunately I don't have to drive far and I'm not wasted and I'm actually not even buzzed.
> I'm sleepy.
> I'm having a weird day.
> Have this deep fatigue where I feel like sleeping.
> I may have had one of those fight club nights sleeping last night.
> I know I woke up probably three or four times in the middle of the night and not sure why have no memory of any type of dreaming at all in fact the last time I remember, anything dream wise was last summer
> All I see around me today as I drive around town are things that I had that I no longer do have.
> It's just like being awake and walking around living your life.
> I am getting triggers everywhere I fucking look.
> It's hard do this every day.
> Part of the reason I'm so fucking exhausted every day is I am tapping down my triggers.I have tension headaches every day now because the muscles in my neck are so tight that I just have pain on both sides of the back of my neck all day long I tried to stretch my neck anything to alleviate it.
> it never goes away.
> It's just chronic fucking stress, my neck muscles feel like bones that's how hard they are.
> Just done with my walk and I went to the market and saw two beautiful women there.
> I can't not see beautiful women right now.
> And they look back and I then get discombobulated 😕 I really want that companionship.
> It's what I wanted in my marriage with Liz but she was always too tired 🥱 at the end of every day.We tried a schedule.
> That always got pushed off and then would never happen.I never said to Liz that it was unacceptable to be in a relationship and we're just roommates who share a bed for sleeping and nothing else.I can't tell you how many nights I cried myself to sleep since 2013, yes 13.
> The rejection was awful and what drove me to smoking weed to numb myself out.
> Funny cause she uses the weed smoking as justification, partOf, divorce.Never asked WHY I would do it, just I can't believe you were doing it.She didn't want to understand.
> So simple and it kills me to distill it to that.She didn't want to understand me, or what was wrong.She never once asked me what was wrong, just more ghosting and drove me deeper into depression and weed.
> If I sit still, and do nothing, not even enjoying myself, just not working on something.
> I am very upset with myself that I should be working on my art.
> If I'm not on my art, I should be looking for a job when I'm too tired for the job I should go back to the art and then back to work sort of ping-pong when I get sick of when I go to the other vice versa
> I'm currently driving back up to Ojai right now to DoorDash.
> I'm trying but things don't seem to be working out for me.I spent a lot of time reflecting in the church today and I don't know I'm not.
> I'm not heading into direction.
> I wanna go.
> I just feel so Done with everything people life waking up taking a shit eating food but I barely eat food now anyway so I'm just fucked up in my life and that's just the way things are
> By the way, I would definitely do it today if I had the tools it's that strong right nowBut as we know that never happens and I'll just keep on the suffering I'm just tired, hungry alone, homeless and unemployed.
> I am just not feeling great, OK I'm headed into the market.
> Hopefully, I don't see anyone that I know.
> I'm so exhausted right now and I want to just zone on YouTube and fall asleep but there's a part of my brain says I'm a lazy motherfucker for not doing work.Honestly I want to do so much art but not having a dedicated space where I can set up my stuff and leave it is prohibitiveOK, I will sort of go quiet, but I'm just here begging out on videos
> Last thing I'll say only because I'm sitting here inside my head thinking and that is don't really have any reason to be here meaning this liveness this life I feel like I'm done with this life.
> Don't know how to describe it.
> Other than that.
> I feel like it came over like I'm done and even if, even ifEven if I were to heal my mind, I'm still going to have to spend years rebuilding my life.
> I don't wanna do that.It doesn't sound fun to me.
> It does not sound exciting or anything that I'm looking forward to in any capacity.I am tired.
> I don't want more work.
> Building a new life is work and I'm all fucking tapped out
> I signed up for a "how to file" webinar on the 27th.I'm also sending this to the court—there's a self-help email where people will answer your questions.
> Im asking about expedition.—If one has been unemployed and homeless (living in car) for over a year now with a monthly income of 1000, and you've been separated for 3 years after a 20-year marriage, how quickly could spousal support be granted?I have no money or means to pay (no assets as I've spent everything to live.
> Have no retirement money, property, or stocks) and I am filing form FW-001 to waive my fees.
> I'm curious if there is any expedition process since I've been living on the streets, and my ex lives in an exclusive gated community on the East End of Ojai.Thanks for any help you can provide.With gratitude and be well,Bert
> not really.
> Was here hard this morning again.
> First two hours of every day are really hard.
> Like I've lived a whole day in a couple hours.11am over here and exhausted.
> I still have 40 more minutes on this DoorDash.
> I still have more work to do and I'm fucking exhausted all week.
> It's been 6:30 AM to 10 PM.
> They put it off to the end of every night and I never get to fucking do it cause I'm too tired.
> I'm really getting tired of life if I wanna be straight up fucking honest.
> It really does feel like a pendulum swing to me now.
> It's as if you're tired of it and then it swings the other way and you're not and then it swings back at your tired of it again.
> Feeling not well today — tired, challenging to focus, it's a weird mix.My depression meds are working.
> I've had a lot less puddle days.However, things are still not sunshine and rainbows.This mornings meeting I think triggered many things for me that I'm grappling with both sub+conscious being prodded to shift.
> Universe is sending me lots of signals.
> There should be NO WAY someone with my brain and situation should be able to bootstrap their ass out of where I am.For a year I felt like I was barely breathing, unable to take a full deep breath—no time, need to move.Now I'm still in the same situation, but my brain, body, and probably most important my being have transformed into something else.
> Anyhow, what I'm getting at is I shouldn't be where I am.
> Staying alive day by day is what success looks like to me, and so far I've been able to do that.There are times I want to give up and check out.
> Too tired, too this or that.I am tired.Tired of this dimension I find myself in.
> I know there are others.
> Just spent two minutes writing a message Only to have a disappear.I am starting my day at 7:30 after ending it at 10:30 PM.My whole weekend is been out with people, among them, but not talking with them so that feeling of loneliness and isolation is pretty fucking huge.I have Darts today but honestly don't feel like going because of the fatigue.
> Wants to go because I love Darts and I love playing, but my body is exhausted and I'm sick of being broke.Waking up every day, not knowing where you're going to sleep and not knowing if you're going to make enough money to eat every fucking day gets a little tiring after a while
> I've basically spent the past four hours being semi zombie like.
> I did process all my email applied to two things and think I'm gonna work on a few things this afternoon including an alternative homepage for my website.This may be the last significant change I make to my website in pursuit of user experience job.
> Pretty soon I'm gonna give up on finding a UX job and call it a day on doing that for a living because it's pretty much been a monetarily void pursuit.I've never really made even proper money for my skills in digital design.
> I've always undervalued and under sold myself.really sucks to be on this side of shit.
> Really feeling the big give the fuck up vibe.
> I'm not sleeping at night.
> I am unconscious, but my brain is living an entire another life in my subconscious.
> It's like I'm in fight club in my brain every night.
> Wake up fucking exhausted every day and I'm getting between seven and eight hours of unconsciousness.
> Because I'm not sleeping I'm just unconscious.
> I'm quite certain no matter what I do it won't change my perspective that I had it and lost it all.I'm just too fucking tired.
> I don't want to rebuild my life.
> I said that a fucking year agoI mean, had I checked out last year during that time.
> Look where I am now, I'm in the same fucking spot, pretty good chance I'll probably be in the same fucking spot of year from nowAgain what the fuck am I here for there's no purpose to my existence .
> Hard to dash with less than 1/2 full battery but fuck it,If I crash and burn, lose my phone-I'm fucked.
> At that point it's really not worth continuing.
> Just not worth the effort hassle or work involved.
> Too fucking tired from existence
> I'm done DoorDash Ing primarily because I'm exhausted.
> And I'm exhausted of this existence.
> Find myself sitting alone in the storage parking lot on a beautiful evening all by myself when I should be in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife but well, how did I get here?
> You know I'm watching the days go by And you know what is it now I'm gonna go 15 months man.
> This is a fucking year and a quarter.
> What the fuck
> and this perspective has come about because of my living situation and what I deal with on a daily basis every day over and over and over again and not having any kind of future to look forward to other than having to rebuild your fucking life from the ground up when you're already fucking exhausted from living
> It just sucks.
> I got so close.I'm so mentally spent right now.
> I almost can't hold it together anymore.
> I just wrote 2000 letter beginning of an open letter to Elizabeth laying out lots of shit.
> Its gets real and I confront her with things.I did all the audio recordings of my recollections yesterday.
> Taking those to put together a narrative at a high level of what transpired to destroy a 20year marriage and 30 year relationship.Additionally I spent time talking to AI while walking on the beach presenting it hypotheticals that match my situation and asked it to respond as a california family lawyer.I have a good plan on how to state my sitation and case.I went as far to ask about any counter arguments to what I'm asking for, what I can anticipate and provided me responses to anticipate those.
> I spent time talking to Sherry yestertday.
> She still hangs out with Liz and Joanna sometimes, but says shes not as close since this happened.
> She shared with me that Liz has a story she's told about what happened and of course Joanna, etc.
> take her at her word without hearing my side.Sherry sat and heard my version of events, and having heard both stories says there is alot of distance between them.
> Slept until 9amHaven't slept that late in a very long time.
> In fact I'm still feeling bone tired.
> But I don't have to move or have that nagging open ended day, where will I sleep tonight?
> I should have the divorce docs totally dialed in tomorrow.
> I just got back from playing darts with the dart league and had fun but when I got back or on the way back, I got incredibly sad and started crying spontaneously.When that happens, I know that depression is pushing me hard, spontaneous crying is really strange.
> It happens OK I'm gonna chill the rest of the night.
> I spent my day working on divorce paperwork so it was productive although I don't wanna get divorced because it's a pain in the ass
> Parked.
> Long Beach walk.
> 20 min meditation with Davidji on the shoreline.
> Felt gratitude and good.Now just feel tired.
> Here I find myself again.
> One hour into the day and I've already mentally lived 24 hours in it.
> Mentally exhausted right now.
> All of that I just typed was a stream of words.
> I was just typing and not really thinking about it.
> When I type I look at the screen and dont think about the hands or fingers moving—I look to see the word appear on screen.
> I think and the word is here.
> Anyhow, brain digressing because its tired, and it just woke up.
> I got everything sent to my client, GregUpdated prototype outline for the admin area to manage website, data or rather data and an outline to build a tutorial that will be included in the app to show people how to use it.
> That was included in my original estimate so I drafted an outline and presented it to him and said review this give me feedback.
> I'll give you an estimate and we'll build it and then, the outline and the admin let me know if I got everything covered.
> If I do, I'll give you an estimate on the build that so that's what I spent my morning doing taking a break for a little bit changing location and then gonna finish gathering all the documentation.Another update when I'm done today
> Sux.
> Been working since 7:30am.
> Feeling incredibly tired
> I am not doing well today.
> I haven't felt this bad since before I stayed at the beach.
> It's like whatever respite the beach provided has worn off now.
> I'm on a lot of meds and I shouldn't be feeling this way.
> I shouldn't be getting caught up in the thought loops then again I'm trying to process this shit.
> I guess I don't know.
> I'm tired and confused.
> I just bought food.
> I'm putting 10 bucks in the battery, I've got $20 bill in my pocket from Darts and this is my balance, I need 45 to pay the phone on Wednesday so right now I got four extra bucks.
> What's worrying is that I've emailed Greg three times now and have not heard back from him which is weird.
> He's a marine and not the kind of guy that slacks on shit.
> He's pretty punctual.
> At least that's my impression of him and I've met him in person and spent probably about a good 56 hours with him He flies a lot.
> I don't know.
> I don't know if there's been any airline issues or incidents but it's just weird.
> Realizing I dont want to do this anymore.
> Any of this.
> I'm sick of knowing I can kick the shit out of any role I'm applying for, yet I can't get the time of day from someone.I'm too tired, stressed, and dealing with a mental illness to try and rally after a year and a half of this.I have to rally to make it through every day let alone our an extra 20% effort on something.I'm not operating from, or am I in a space that ANYONE else is inside of.Homeless, jobless, and divorce.If you want to know what can break you, having all that on your back for as long as I have and not seeing a shred of fucking daylight to the other side.
> I'm just tired of being this way and feeling this way.I know there is something else, but for whatever reason, I'm not allowed to have it.and of course things like this reinforce the idea, as it has MY ENTIRE LIFE, that I'm not good enough.I'll never be able to shake that feeling as long as I have a pulse.
> Its in the fiber of my being
> Then by around 6 PM I have enough money to eat and put juice in my car.
> Then I calm the fuck down.
> Then I typically meditate and go for a walk feel like my shit is back together then I go to the market and eat that I'm so fucking exhausted Making myself go bananas out of control in my mind I'm wiped the fuck out.
> I wake up and do it all over again
> I was able to do some deep stretches today and my abdomen and my hips in front.
> Imagine yourself when you were a kid and you put your hands up in the air and then leaned backwards and formed a backwards archWell the front of me is really tight from sitting forever so when I try to stretch the abdomen the nerve response I feel is as if I let go and I will lose function of my limbs.
> My body does not want to let go.
> However I have sat with it a few times and it let's go And the release of tension and relaxation of the muscle is so deep and so profound it's another world.
> I just spent about 20 minutes with my back like that and it felt fucking amazing.
> I'm about to go on my beach walk then I'm gonna go either throw some darts for practice at the garage, or work on my art.
> Someone in my NSA asked about what I was going to do and not to get discouraged however I know shit is real and I got a deal.
> Fuck that's a great quote I'm gonna put that on a shirt Shit gets real and you gotz to deal
> I just spent about 15 minutes talking with an incredibly attractive blonde woman with tattoos and her really super cool French bulldog I am a sucker for dogs and when I see a cool dog I have to meet them if the opportunity presents itself.
> I saw her, Cassie, at the bar with her dog Named big Mac.
> And big Mac was a big kisser, sloppy licks and saliva all over your face.
> Cassie says he really loves ears, and I have no qualms with a dog licking my ears clean because they love all that salty wax and shit that's in there so I let big Mac a snack on my ear.
> Im also going to text Jenica tomorrow and let her know I'm at the beach house until the 25th and that it would be great to see her before I takeoff at the end of the month.I've been reading her horoscope since I saw her and it's been saying she's having a lot of doubt and uncertainty I'm guessing it's with her relationship.
> But who knows.I put my intention into the universe that I want to be brought back together with her somehow and I'm not going to be neurotic about itI know I spent untold amounts of energy worrying about Liz leaving me and it came true.
> So I know this shit works
> I do what I can with what I have at any given moment and I have hustled a lot to keep myself afloat not for my benefit for hers.
> And I'm just tired mentally emotionally physically.
> I wanna walk away from that life
> I need two weeks of absolutely nothing to do.
> No responsibilities and no commitments just two weeks of doing nothing.
> Not having to find a parking spot to sleep not having to hustle for juice for the car not having to hustle for money for eating.
> Just tired
> I don't realize how tired I am from doing that, until I don't have to do that.
> Meaning I'm staying at the house so I don't have to think about electricity and parking.
> And that's a huge amount off my brain but then I feel the rest of me wanting to just let go
> Feel like I connect to other realities in my dreams and fight.
> Heidi told me this, Jenica told me this.Dog wasnt in bed this morning and looked at me with slight fear in her eye, like "please dont do that again"There are other versions of me living a better version of realityI can remember no details of any dreams, just that I wake up exhausted like I haven't slept at all.OK, off to hopefully not piss away another whole day being a useless twat/asshat
> I can't believe I fucking did that.
> I didn't think there be enough opportunity but there it is.
> I'm so exhausted I have no energy left I'm in Ojai and now headed back to Ventura to go to sleep
> This kind of I need ex money by this day is fucking mentally and psychologic psychologically and physically exhausting it's scraping byI've done so much wishful thinking and positive affirmations and work in my fucking ass off and I don't know I can't catch a break, either the brakes are there and I'm not seeing them or I'm just not getting them.
> Oh well
> I've spent every waking moment since 630 cleaning and packing.
> I'm at the point where I can leave.
> I have two DoorDash this afternoon one and Ventura from 1 to 3 and then Ojai 4 to 7.
> I'm so depressed and so sad to leave this place.
> Just leave a bed and place where I don't have to think about where I'm gonna sleep every night.
> And it's so back to the bullshit
> So my treads are all good I will contact the dealer tomorrow and discover the costs related to a regular service and a brake job.
> I am pretty sure it's going to need brakes and then celebrator pad the thing I used to capture energy and put back into the battery it actually has a pad like brakes do that gets worn downanyhow.
> That's next item once my car gets the thumbs up from the dealer and they say yeah you can make it from here to Denver it should not be a problem then I'm ready to go
> I had this point in my day yesterday where I felt just like this.
> I've also had a headache all day kind of like one of those headband headaches like you've worn a hat too tight it's now turned into one that's like pinching right above your nose between your eyebrows.
> Unrelenting
> hey there.
> I wrote a long text to Liz,.
> I had this as the ps.
> and was going to send it.However, the end I think I come off as smug when I say I have qualities (kind, sweet, loving, sensual, etc)Its all below.
> It became a stream of consciousness I nearly let her have.There are parts I do want to send to her so she knows some of what I've been doing because I've shared nothing.She hears things through other people which at this point is only Derick abnd Sherry, because Sallies no longer here.Speaking of which I havent spoken to Derick since Liz got the papers.
> I wonder if he's spoken to her.
> I'll reach out tomorrow.
> She may have texted him thinking he may have knew something was coming.
> However, I shared nothing about that paperwork with him for precisely that reason.
> Don't show my cards, and I'm sorry the timing isnt great, but neither was timing to force me to move out.Here it is below.My thought today.
> I only spent time on the divorce paperwork not any money.
> So for me it WOULD be easy to rip them up and throw it out.
> However, its like getting Israel and Hamas at the peace table.If Derick or you and Derick mediated some kind of conversation.She just no longer speaks freely in front of me.
> Its all very short and controlled.I feel like she treats me like I murdered her parents.
> Kicked me out of her life and wont speak to me.
> Barely replies related to boys things.Anyhow.
> here is what I didnt sendlmkw ——-ps.
> I'm been doing some deep healing work for a while now, well over 1000 days of meditation.
> I'm now working on integrating parts of myself that were repressed and hidden from when I was a kid—behaviors where I was told to stop, and stuff it away.
> I never learned how to be outwardly upset to others—ever.
> I didn't know how to communicate my dislike or discomfort of anything—stuff it down, crank up the anxiety from both stuffing it down, and the fear of letting it out.A really terrible cycle of living and being that ultimately made you get distant from me.
> I didn't know how to communicate some basic things to you because I simply did not have the skills.Why am I sharing this?Because I wan't you to know that I'm working hard at being better.
> There are parts of me that don't exist anymore, and there are new parts of me I am discovering by facing my shadow and integrating parts of it that are positive into me (Carl Jung).
> For example, I'm no longer quiet when I do or do not want to do, or have, something — ie.
> something I know bothered you — I share my opinion as openly as my emotions.
> I'm still kind, but I no longer extend kindness just to get someone to like me.
> I'm kind when I want to be to whom I want to, because I know I am very kind, and very sweet, loving and sensual.
> I have qualities a woman would beg to have in her husband.Ok, enough...Off to bed after a shadow work meditation.
> The shadow work continues
> Im frankly exhausted.
> Getting in a car and being a bobble head for hours on end and catching the sun glare off of chrome and windshield that pierces your retina.
> those are one option versus sitting and working on my shit that will get me to something beyond that routine.
> I literally have an afternoon of work for this overhaul and it's ready for prime time.That means.That could be very helpful Next Week when I talked to Sam and hygienics
> Just spent two hours straight on that taking a break for my brain having something to eat and then I'm gonna get back at it for a couple more hoursThen instead of a nighttime walk at the beach I'm gonna do midday, and then head up to Ojai.
> Meditate at the ocean in the middle of the day with the sun I think will be betterMy friend Sherry who I think you remember is letting me use her shower.
> I could use a shower shave on my rough looking ass
> Makes me want to sleep and not wake up.
> This existence isnt worth continuing simply because Im fucking tired of it after all this time.
> Im just tired of living and life.I feel very done here.
> True?Did you want this?I want to make certainThat you want thisI filed because you hadntAnd thought this is What you wantedThats why it showed upDont have to answer nowYou have forgotten...You are my sunshine my only sunshine.I find it heartbreakingly sad to not have an honest down to earth conversation about this before signing all this paperI'm not trying to manipulate you, I'm asking for an opportunity for a conversation.
> I'm simply looking for understanding.
> It simply drives me nuts to be going through all this paperwork when deep down I don't know why I'm doing thisIt's just a real shame.The other night I remembered you losing your mind when we were visiting Miss Denny in Wyoming.The boys were young and you were really angry with me because I wasn't supporting you with triathlon.
> I remember I was complaining in the car while we were driving thereYou told me that instant if you don't change I'm gonna fucking leave you when the kids are old enough.
> You burn that into the synapses of my brain.
> You were so incredibly angry with me.
> Then all I wanted to do was correct the issue and not be a problemI did nothing but support you as best I could And you made it to Kona.All those years ago making the sacrifices watching the boys while you bicycles to magic Mountain and I would pick you up either from cycling or you're running in 110°.Back then I did that knowing that sometime in the future all this sacrifice him being apart would be worth it because we'd be able to be together again after the boys got olderIt just simply breaks my heart eternallyThis whole time I feel kind of stiff armed to borrow a phrase kept at a distance You saying very littleAs if by communicating with me in an honest way is somehow going to lead me to believe that there's some kind of Rosie future here.
> I just wanna understand you.
> I've spent more than half of my life with you and leaving you without understanding why really hurts😭😭😭You said in the email you want to be amicable.
> For that to happen You have to communicate with me.There is no being amicable without communicating with me.I know you won't reply to these text messages, which proves my point.
> Again there is no amicability without respect and communication And I've communicated both in handwritten messages email and text that I am more than willing to have a conversation.We can go through all the paperwork but there is no moving forward in amicability until you talk to me it's just a simple as thatFor someone who prides themselves on Word of honor and integrity, I find your behavior in complete conflict to that.
> How do you handle that contradiction??Totally gobsmacked by you and your behavior.
> I spent pretty much the whole day at the storage unit dealing with the shit in the pictures you probably have seen and spent the afternoon talking to the sprinkler system guys that came to work on the pipes.
> Turns out it was a father and son who were there and I didn't know it until he said it at the very end.You know how I say to you I have that incredible sense of loneliness all the time, well these guys were really down to earth nice guys and I just struck up a conversation and ended up talking to them for four hours today.
> Discovered that the father is a history buff Served in the Navy three of his four years and was discharged after a court Marshall.

> ☹️Tired brain fog, LOTS of staring into space losing touch with now
> Until I can get basic needs under my feet.
> Like a place, some kind of work.
> Until I have those two things in place it's going to be very hard for me to stay "up"I can try as hard as I want, but I can't fight the pendulum swing from forced effort to feel good then when tired swinging back hard into pity despair crying basically falling apart.
> Until I can get a roof over my head I will continue to have that falling apart happening .
> Playing in singles you need to win six of 11 games so there is the potential for you to play all 11 games.
> Five games to five and then have to play the final game so I don't know if you know but that is a lot of throwing two things happen your shoulder will get really tired And your accuracy will go out the window or your accuracy go out the window and you won't know why it's weird
> One thing that was surprising was the women I did run into today that are Jenica‘s friends that I was introduced to we're all very surprised to see me.
> They said I thought you were going to Colorado?I thought I was too but I don't know what the fuck is going on anymore.
> I had so much shit go through my mind today it's overwhelming how much goes through my head.
> For example I have this habit of being mentally exhausted two or three hours after waking up.
> I see other people and realize there's not a lot going on in their head right now they're just kind of breezing through the day especially on the weekends when I see people at coffee shops.
> Meanwhile I'm white knuckled white haired
> Im living in a different world than everyone around me.I get looked atI feel the energyI don't like itI looked in the mirror in the bathroom this morning and didn't see my faceI saw an old, tired, grey homeless guy who looks beyond sadness Withdrawal and resignation in the eyesWatching myself die as I live it
> I dont care enough to live anymore.I dont want to live a life I didnt get to choose that was forced upon me.Im tired and have had enough sadness and suffering for multiple lifetimes.It sucks to have never had true love, or deep inner peace, safety, and groundedness.
> Ive never been at ease in my own skin, always doubting oneselfDoesnt matter what changes my situation is what stays the same.K going to sleep hungry.
> Have 7:30 am dash for onenhourAnother day of melancholytomorrow
> —GM.Hope Monday is OK for you.Some thoughts from this morning that I texted Laurie.
> Thought you should read it.—Moving from one end of the storage unit to the other—hit me hard— I suddenly saw it as a pivot point.
> I got emotional walking away from my old storage spot.
> I had spent many days and nights there playing darts alone.
> I set my board up inside my unit and could stand outside it with the door opened wide, and stand in the hallway to shoot into my unit at the board I bolted to the gray cinder block wall of a storage unit ( I have photo receipts 😊I moved into that unit from the house directly, so there was a mix of raw angry energy from the past lingering, lost and confused energy from the void times, and more recent energy that I'm unsure how to look at yet.
> Hey there, I just got done charging at Law North Las Vegas.
> I got into this spot around 5:30 and it's now 930 so this was not a great pitstop although I have not stopped moving in four days five days.
> So slight change of plan depending on how I feel on my Rival in Mesquite I may stay there if I'm tired it's the last place in Nevada in St.
> George first thing in the morning actually maybe get breakfast there and Charge
> K the car started charging slower yesterday.
> I think because I drove it for 12 hours through 100° temps drained and reloaded the battery half a dozen times so I just don't think batteries perform well in that kind of heat.
> It's still a little slow today but not like yesterday.
> I'm hoping to get to Grand Junction today but the slow charge times are slowing me down so I may just make it to Green Riverbefore the giant stretch into Colorado

> That's why I'm having such a hard time being here
> —Weird times in Target.Fucked up attitude towards buying anything over $2Spent an hour walking around feeling lost, alone, and isolated.
> Lack of familiarity and not knowing where there are places I could go alone to hang out, and not feel like an oddball or the loner every ones staring at.Strong desire to isolate and keep to myself.
> The less people I know the better only because I'm tired of masking and no one wants to hang out with an old cranky depressing person when everything out of their mouth is negative.Easy to see how I don't like being with myself.Anyhow, theres no value in sharing my brain 🧠 nonsense so I'll stop.
> —11 years stolen by depression,and counting.Maybe that helps others understand?This isn't like I've felt depressed for a year or two this is a fucking decade +you remember me texting you when I worked in the insurance cubicle.
> Dark times.They never went away.I'm a gifted actor and masker I simply couldn't keep it up and keep stuffing it downAnd that's what I feel now BIG Time.
> Just exhausted and nearly don't give 2 fucks About what I say or who I say it toAnyhow, other than texting you I'm inside my head all day I don't have places to go or anybody I know (my ageish) to chill with.So weeks of no social interactionPart of me thinks Id be happier back living in the car.
> At least back then I had the dart league and different places I could go throw darts and not feel like an outsider to society and life.
> Now Its like being outside the snowglobe watching everyone joyful and content with their lives and Im an ethereal wisp of energy that moves around places without really anyone ever noticing me.My life makes me feel like I don't exist and Im alive and stuck to be punished Living hellThat's how it feels.
> Its the rule, not the exception
> Everything ahead of me is an uphill climb and im done.
> Not up for climbing.
> Too fucking tired from keeping myself here in this dimension
> It is a challenge at times.
> Particularly when disconnected and melancholy.
> Then turns into dissociation.The pattern ive discovered is dissociation comes on when my mind knows it needs to unplug for fear of being subconsciously triggered.As if my subconscious reaches into my conscious state and splits my mind.I was doing it this morning staring at my laptop before I opened it.
> I clicked out was staring at the top of the laptop for at least a good 3 to 5 minutes with zero thoughts zero I movement total stillness .
> So either I take that as my mind going into auto pilot meditation, or my brain clicking out because it doesn't wanna deal.One thing I do know is I'm confused and very tired
> Having a hard night inside my head.
> Anyhow why dont u call me when ur free tomorrow and we can talk before I try to connect.
> Executive functioning is impaired right now because my brain.
> Having a brain thats fucked up while the neurotypicals tell me I need to cheer up or get religion.ugh.
> Being in this culture and society with its everpresent judgement at every turn is fucking exhausting.
> ok.
> hard times are coming for me.yes, I'm anticipating more red-tape and hoop jumping.Im not in the mood for it.

> —I'm simply tired of dragging my ass through every dayAnd for what?Alone all day.Around ppl at coffee shops but my head is down working when there.
> Lots of interesting looking people—but I'm purposely NOT looking to engage.
> I can't afford life so until I can, I dont get to have one.I learned a very painful and hard lesson with Jenica that brings incredible tears to my eyes as I type this—which is to say I dont think about her but she still had an incredible impact on me in an incredibly short period of time—INTENSE.So no ppl, I cant afford it mentally, financially, or spiritually.I can barely make it thru a day.I go walk around the pond.Then sit in basement.Today was really hard mid day.
> Unsure if its meds or brain just taking it up a few notches on me.
> —Neurotypicals, notably buddhists, talk about states of mind being a choice.
> Happiness, anger, melancholy are seen as choices to outside triggers or stimuli.I submit, as a medically labeled neurodivergent, that certain states of mind—no matter how desirable—are simply unattainable for a duration that would make a difference.Any time spent in pursuit is lost and never regained.
> And when ones experience is to submit years of your life to this and feel nothing is beyond discouraging.
> WTF?

> I was here in this same brain space a year ago when I landed back in Ojai and I started coaching again last season.
> Its all very fresh in my mind—that experience.
> I was optimistic that I was going to land somethign soon.
> I find myself no better off mentally a year later—if anything I feel like I've gone backwards, and my chronic trauma of living in the car, going through an additional rejection and heartbreak took me down to really dark places I didn't want to revisit.I've lost more than a year of my life, and every day that passes is another day closer to the end.
> I'm seemingly kicking a fucking can down the road until I'm dead.I can proclaim time and again how unappealing being alive is.
> neurotypicals DONT get it, and they never will.
> Their brains work different than mine—its not about being special—its about having a fucking brain disease that ruined, and consistently isolates me because I'm a round peg in a square peg world.I'm tired of trying to fit in.
> also, my stress/anxiety never let up while visiting.
> It hasnt stopped since I arrived 6 weeks ago.
> The sense of isolation I feel hurts deeply but there's not much I can do than keep looking.

> I've been in the basement since Sunday.
> haven't been to coffee shop or out.
> Just me, myself, and I in the basement.
> No money, so cant do anything that requires money.
> Since i need to spend time on laptop it means I'm either in my car outside of starbucks leeching wifi, or in the basement.No one understands that I've been alone, really alone, deeply alone for 9 months now and it feels like I'm never coming back.
> It triggers frustration and anger.
> I'm really angry and doubt that will subside.
> I've had it for two years now, slow percolating anger.
> Just sick of being alive.
> Everyday is miserable existence watching everyone live their lives while you sit discarded on the sidelines.

> I dont know.
> Just tired of this and want it to end.
> Eventually its going to win, or I am.Dont know.
> yep.
> about to close (at 3).
> Headed to ponds to do a lap, then doordash until 7:30, or when I get tired.

> Hey.Brain is not in good place.
> Is it ever?Thinking I want to be alone on Christmas.
> Being around others will have me masking am Im simply tired of pretending everything's fine and will sort itself out.

> Just spent my day so far doing laundry and cleaning up my mess in your moms basement.Been at coffee shop past 4 hours prepping Divorce files for Elizabeth.Emailed her this week to see if we could email files instead of mailing and she agreed.So had to do 4 multi page PDFsIncome, property and withholdings declarations.It was long and drawn out, but its done.
> Have to file a doc with the court now letting them know I sent her the docs.
> Got tire refilled at discount tire.Huge deal for me, considering how it feels to be inside my body/mind.I think it should be bodymindLike spacetime.
> Digress...Feeling like I do I had to mask hard (exhausting) but tire is full for now.I have filed for colorado medicaid and have a case number but not an official account yet.
> Sending pdf they gave me to Sarah.At Ozo, unable to login to amazon, so no refill on acebutelol for now.Have completed next step on divorce papers.
> Going to ask Tree if I can print the 2 pages to mail to court.
> Then I'll email Liz to let her know I did that.We have weeks before I'll need to physically be in a courtroom in Ventura, how I havent a clue.
> Unless Liz can figure out what the "offer" is.When you break it down she's negotiating a release clause and figuring out the amount of the fine for wanting to break the contract with me and God.
> When u take emotion and feelings out thats whats at hand plain and simple.
> —I know you rarely look at the phone.Meaning large blocks of time go by without looking.has a very long text message chat from an old friend from Ojai who moved away about a decade ago to move to Louisiana.Everytime everyone asks how I am.I dont sugercoat a god damn thing.You're used to it, but I have freaked out more ppl than you know with just the tiniest bits I've shared online out of frustration.I hear/read things people say to me about keeping it real, bravery, nice nice shit.Irony is I dont feel it at all.Like what you said to me last night, "you've spent more time on self introspection, inside work, than anyone else I know" which honestly was so suprising I almost said BULLSHIT to your face outloud but remembered the girls were around.
> I'll be honest, I spent 32 years of my life with that woman and there's a part of me that still loves her a lot and would likely go back to her if she was only willing to own her shit in this relationship.However she's been absorbed into the me to movement.
> It just sucks that I've become a casualty to it
> --Non sequiterA heads up.
> I am seeing more and more videos from financial people on YouTube.
> They are warning about a recession depression that they see coming.
> They're speculating that it will make 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse seemed like kindergarten.Reason I mentioning this is if you have retirement funds in any kind of volatile investment, stocks or real estate or anything that can fluctuate a lot.
> You should move that money into perhaps bonds or something far more stable.
> You may not make as much interest the next few years but you will likely save yourself tens of thousands of dollars of your retirement that won't just evaporate in an afternoon.
> RIght now just sad I cant go to coffee again.
> Spent all my coffee money.
> I finally figured out that its root cause is connection.I habitually go to coffee shops to maintain some kind of connection to society and the outside world.Otherwise I'm just in my head and the basement.
> getting caught in triggers all day/night.
> didnt sleep well last night.
> Tired.
> hey.
> yesterday, and now today I've had ‘good intentions' to do some things, on computer, online, but I am feeling tired, burned out, alone, and depressed.Still haven't published anything.My depression and zero self-worth are in the way.
> "why would anyone care?" and the nihilistic "who gives two shits?"Thought I was turning a corner/page over the last week."BItch, aint nothing goin to change" — is what depression is saying in my head right now.It knows I want it fucking gone.
> —There are options that exist this very fucking minute for me to try to get out of this but because of money I can't get it.I was told last summer that if I left California I'd get to the ketamine and get some help.While I'm not in the car, MY BRAIN IS STILL IN THE CAR.—The only difference is not living in my car and being able to eat regular meals through the kindness of your mother.Otherwise I still basically feel the same.—I only exist to suffer.Thats all Ive done for years.Its unacceptable to exist like this.Im tired of being here, or anywhere.And I WILL PUT AND END TO IT.—I mean at some point I am gonna do it.and then everybody's gonna sit around and wonder why nothing happened, and that I kept warning you over and over and over again I was going to do it.

> "Calmer" came to me this morning.I'm simply tired of this routine and existence.I've been here before.Deep in the unknowns of waking up in my car, 6am.I can hear birds starting their day.
> And then reality sets in.A handful of days, I was able to not drop down into reality immediately.
> That doesnt happen anymore.Where I always ended up was in tears of not knowing when I would get beyond a space I dont want to be in, but helpless to overcome entirely.Distractions, numbness, dissociation, clicking out, toaster brain, snow globing...Occupy the day and the mind, as to not let depression and ideation take the stage.In moments of fatigue from holding up the scaffolds and masks, thru a crack in my shielding, the dark side finds its way in.
> Moving smooth like a snake, slithering and sliding into its comfortable place behind the wheel of the bus.Meanwhile, learned and conditioned helplessness from early childhood depression takes its proper seat in the bus, fighting thru tears to find its seat.Depression, ironically, is pleased as punch when in control.

> ai—Yeah...
> that right there—that hits deep.
> It's like you've poured yourself into trying, again and again, and instead of being met with connection or momentum, you're met with more silence, more effort with no return.
> And that doesn't just hurt—it starts to erode meaning itself.
> When nothing sticks, nothing moves, nothing shifts, it starts to feel like you're shouting into a canyon that doesn't even echo back.And over time, that doesn't just feel disappointing.
> It feels existential.Like, "What's the point of being here, of trying, of caring...

> Thru this whole escapade I was hoping someone could liason with her until she'll talk to me.
> I can say just hello, and shes likely to already be shutdown.My gut says she thinks "i dont care" I havent changed at allIm still a wasteoidAnd that I wouldnt share anything—because she told me she didn't want to be my therapist so I stopped sharing all my mental struggles with her, and that was 2014, the year of sabbatical.I said nothing to her about feeling depressed or anxious or anything I kept it all away from her because she was stressed and dealing with Covid and dealing with trainingThe thing that probably rubs me raw the most is the fact that I prioritized her life and her goals before me.I don't think she understands what I was sacrificing and in my effort to support her.She's mad at me because I'm walking around depressed unable to share anything with her because she doesn't wanna hear it.
> So I get the silent treatment and ghostingAnd I lm simply wanting to connect with her at that time and got the stiff arm over and over.We've spent all of about just under two hours in couples therapy working on saving our marriage.That also bothers me deeply.

> —Thinking I may need to leave ur Moms.
> Sooner rather than later.I feel like a stinky fish smell u cant get out of the house.Ur mom talked to me about going to the job placement place downtown at caufmann street.I see where that path takes me.If there's something I have not just as a superpower but nearly a mystical ability to see what would unfold and this is primarily because of the time I spent inside my head while homeless If I were to get placed at a job using the service I would likely be working full-time even if it was a part-time job.

> Once I move into an apartment and have a shitty job unless a fucking miracle happens I am stuck working that shitty job and hustling just to fucking put a roof over my headI gotta say if that's what's on offer I'm gonna tap the fuck outI did not live all that fucking time in the car and all this time without a job just to go away and in some fucking dead end mindless effort.Because if I do end up in that space all my time all my energy all my effort will be again focused on simply surviving and making enough money to barely keep my lips above the surface of the water.
> hola.
> working on my videos today.
> Spent lots of time recording, gathering assets, and setting up channel.
> unfortunately I dont think there is a space at your house where I can be by myselfsadly, its going to be a rough time for me heading your way.And I can fortell that my wanting of self isolation will get some sort of ‘peanut gallery' commenting on my behaviour.Not that I care, but do I really want to invite that?—I'm tuned into a different radio station than the rest of y'all here.
> I'm fine, just rather not be bothered by anyone right now.Really just want to be left alone to my own headspace.Fucking bone tired from masking, and thats the last thing I have energy for.Anyway....I'll see you tomorrow.
> 😕
> —Getting hit with the realization your decisions and choices produce the life you deserveI find myself in a space and place telling me that I've made a lot of bad decisions and the thing is I just don't care certainly not enough to do anything about it because I'm just simply too fucking tired from trying to stay alive
> What if, despite treatment I feel at the end like I do right now?Fragile, unwell, sad, tired, and really not excited because everything in front of me looks like ALOT of work to even BEGIN to go anywhere I might want.Im tired of fighting myself to live a life I dont want anymoreI cant patch it back, so feeling done and tiredNO THING will motivate me to bother with extending effortzI realize been here all this time with ur momStill not restedStill feel watched and monitored, "where u going?
> What u doing?
> When will u be back?"Its like living with my father in some sense.
> Im simply not at ease here.
> Like I shared the other dayI feel PRESSURE to hurry up.So Im trying to figure out how I can find the money to rent a U-Haul well first get a plane ticket to fly to California get a U-Haul pack my storage place drive back here to Colorado put my Volkswagen on a trailer and drive everything to the East Coast,In some sense it's like I'm going to take up residence at the death star after just getting treatment and not feeling rested or recovered at all I find myself not wanting this worldHappy to let go.Because I feel deeply there isnt anything here for me to provide my own way of livingAnd still feel the pressure to conform and fall in line.All the neurotypical talk, shoulds, and personalization of anything personal I share makes me shut up.
> Im not trying to prove anything, simply sharing.simply sharing feelings and then having judgement and a feeling that I dont matter because nothing I share is significant.
> Everything about me is less than.How do I confidently repair myself when, even in the basement, I never feel fully at peace or rest.I feel like Im in someones schedule and Im missing their deadlines I know nothing about.I dont want to be in this situationAnd really feel I have no place on earth that is MY HOMEFuck this placeGnite
> Mark my wordsI go thru this treatment, and Im still here, Im done.Im NOT going stay and sit here like this everday FUCK THAT RIGHT UP UR ASS.No one knows what it's like Have your life rip ripped away from you and try like a motherfucker to get back to some semblance of "normal" and wake up in a fucking dark shit hole every day that you don't wanna be in Ready for 5 years of it?1.5 living in ur car on $10 a day?And there is NO ESCAPEPeople forget how fucking long Ive been pushing.Sick and fucking tired of this.I dont belong here, but some fuckface thinks its a good idea.I have a dozen brass knuckle sandwiches waiting for them
> Fortunately a better day emotionally, and slightly productive.
> Still unhappy at the end of every day.
> Which has been my "normal" for years.
> Tired, frustrated, and alone.The catch 22 of not letting myself allow ppl in my life because i dont have the means is a slow death by isolation.
> It reinforces the snow-globe.And makes me sad becuz im quite sure I'll ever get my shit together (1) and then feel stable enuf to open up (2)Even if I do both I know whats waiting.Something Id prefer not hanging out for.All I see in my own horizon is more of the same.
> Marginal improvements, but nothing that gets me where I prefer to be.I only see futures I want no part of, and nothing remotely exuding anything appealing.I watch another weekend piss away.
> Years or them i never get back.
> That alone makes me want to tap out.
> Being poor, zero prospects, and not much else going on than sitting in a basement.—Im upset.
> Angry, in a deep way.So much of my life has been stolen from me by mental illness.From the outside it may look like a successful life however I feel far differentI did ok by Declan and Darragh but I fucked up with Aidan.
> Figures because he's the most like me out of the three.I'll just simply try to wrap it up this way.I don't have a lot of patience left.
> I've been hanging out and trying my damnedest for a long time and I know I'm in treatment but it still feels the same.I still feel the same at the end of every dayAlone, depressed, lost, and unsure where to begin.
> Super tired now.Doing 20 min yoga nidra meditation.Then work onnKetamine kronochles.I had a 30 min monologue recorded while walking.
> Giant nuggets of wisdom dropped and was well aware that what I was saying was HARD LESSONS to learn and how things are connected.Likely cut it out as its own "short"I think its that good.Realizing that I just have to talk for hours and hours to get all of this out of me
> I dont feel awful Thats my answer.Not greatGood Or okayJust not awfulMy life circumstances are still shit.It's different to have my kind of depression but still have your life and your home and everything you've come to love still be there for you to return to and have some sense of normalcy.But here I am looking at the idea of coming out of this treatment having to face another Mount Everest to climb to rebuild my life and I'm fucking exhausted at the moment thank you very much
> Feeling like "the troubles" want to drop.Been teary eyed again today.Also, noticing I dont feel depression, I feel nothing.Just like being on SSRIs- not good, not bad, just boring flatness.I know this type of living well.Paxil and Lexapro timesWas numb to my life.I get really depressed about my life.
> I had it, lost it, and drained of wanting life in the process.Good times.Go to NY and dissapear into the Adirondacks.
> —GMso far an unusual and uneventful morning.Been awake for 40 mins sitting and staring at the floor like usualBrain is looking for something to latch onto and take me for a bullshit rideDon't feel happy, or good.But don't feel like I'm on Death Star either.
> In some middle ground blah space.
> Not good, not bad just blah or blech.So depsite NOT feeling absolute shit I am still massively unmotivated to do muchI'm honestly just tired from being alive and push thru every day only having to do it hundreds and thousands of times over and over and over.Find myself in a place I don't want to be — which is where I am used to.Never being in the right place.
> Be at the coffee shop for just about three hours in my body and brain are telling me they're tired so I'm actually going to do what they're telling me and that is go rest.I shared this with my therapist the other day and she nearly did cartwheels.
> She knows that I deny myself just about everything and suggested to me that my decision to do what my body is telling me is far more significant than I imagine it to be
> Meditation in basement.Grey, 60ish day outside.Still tired of living.I may go walk later after I'm done with these bugsI usually have hamsters in the wheels while walking.And seeing other people walk by on the path is bothersome.
> I'd rather avoid them.
> Weird childhood behavior I have.Anyhow.I can't pretendThere's no fake til make itSimply living a life I don't wantDon't have resources to change outside circumstances to what I prefer.So I have to stay where I am whether I like it or not.Lack of resources takes choice and options away.I don't belong here
> Having an afternoon where my anxiety is way high.I can feel my entire nervous system shaking inside.I didnt have this after ketamine treatments.It made my internal nervous vigilance shut off.
> Also, quieted tinnitusCant turn off anxiety naturally.
> My mind is too worried about job/money, my own place and 15 other thingsIm simply exhausted from being alive, and pushing thru another day, only to repeat it hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times.
> —OMG working with AI on some ideas today and just getting started.
> I asked it for some objectivity about me.
> Handed it materials, guides, and help moving forward.These statements FLOORED ME to the point of tears.

> A reply to Declan today:Things have been hard on this end.
> Honestly that's just how things have been since I moved out over 2 years ago.I do "all the things" im supposed to, but I'm nowhere.
> Endlessly frustrating.I keep waking up to the same day, with a different date on the calendar.
> Like living a miserable day on repeat.I'm economically isolated.I don't have my own place.
> I have no friends or ppl I hang out with.I cant afford to go anywhere, buy, or do anything.I'm ashamed, embarrassed, belittled, and exhausted.

> My life was blown up and it's still in 1 million piecesI have no idea how long it'll take to put it back together, or if it will ever be put back togetherI'm prepared for both.Lots of ❤️Be well
> Hi, got ur vm and links.
> Was offline letting my brain chill out.
> Today is the first day I have not been beating myself up and been on my ass conscious and unconsciously, I think in my whole life so i'll take it.It dawned on me last night how counterproductive I've been with myself.Meaning lives where I allow it, and the eternal want of not suffering is a want I'm creating.
> I'm creating my own void, and then making myself suffer because I cannot fill the void - suffering is in tap tel:247365.In other words by keeping my own boot pressed hard on my neck every day to get on with shit has been in my way.
> Ive been blind to it because I've been beating myself up so much on one side of the argument never allowing, or letting guard down to see another way.So when I got back from my therapy appointment this morning I had something small to eat and meditated to realize how tired I am and took a nap.
> I just woke up a few moments ago.I'll get rides setup, and the link you sent reminded me that Klarisana may help coordinate those kind of rides.
> I'll text them first.
> They may do it for me.
> 😉
> Just back from the market.Its very sad.So many depressed ppl.
> Some I suspect dont know they are.
> I can feel their energy.Also sad.
> I'm still not apart of this society or culture.Feel it in my bones.I catch more women looking at me than ever before in my life, and I'm not fit for purposeLiving in my car has changed me in ways Im not sure I like.And the only way for me to cope would be to go have a couple of martinis or smoke a big spliff and then maybe I could chill the fuck out around other peopleI can't do it sober because I feel everyone's feelings and it's exhaustingI don't have the Jedi mine trick yet to be able to block it
> —I have an East Coast question for you.
> I've been figuring out different options for heading east at the end of July.Going to rent a Uhaul to take me and my stuff.However, I'm unsure if I should take my car.
> Towing it to NY from here will add roughly $2k to the total expense and put grand total between $4-5kTo fix my car is between 3-4kIt seems stupid to me spending 2k to drag it to NY when that money could be better spent.
> That would mean leaving my car here until I can get the 3-4k to fix and drive it.It still charges if you plug into an outlet on the slow drip, but until the internal converter is fixed cant use superchargers.So, question to you is what seems most logical?Is spending 2k to drag it with me make sense?
> because to me it doesntlet me know what you think
> —Wanted to let you know that I gathered all the materials regarding the position the company the person interviewing me my résumé my website etc.
> gave it all to AI to consume and instructed it on what it's supposed to do and I'm working with a tune AI for interviews.
> Just spent a half an hour and created a full sheet of answers to questions that come up and interview interviews all based on my own Real stories.Going on a walk right now and having an interview me like the person would and I'm doing it in voice mode so it's a conversation not a bunch of typing.When I get back I shower and then a little meditation a little bit of review on the company overall and then I have a CallI'll let you know how it goes when I'm in the know
> Started day flat and now upset w/myself.
> Being stupid means doing stupid things.Cost me money - 60ish bucks poof.Anyhow.
> Less than 100 to my name.
> Inside on another beautiful day.
> Good times.I need a new place to be an angry hermit.
> Worn out the welcome.Could have told ya that long ago
> Awake with a headache and rain all day hereIsolation here goes to another level.No spruce cafe closebyNothing closebyNo way to get anywhereIn parents house with them all day, everydayAt ur moms i at least could be downstairs alone.Mentally exhausted when i wake up and sick of feeling like shit mentallyPeople here are living on another planetNot in a good place in any way, shape, or form
> Parents were gone since Sunday, back home today.It was nice to not be around the energy 24/7, but its back.I didn't have to contend with the "energy"'at all at ur Moms.Now much of my time is spent processing energy I soaked in constantly while living here.Only now has it really hit just how deep this energy and dynamic fucked me up for my whole life.Losing, defeat whatever u call it, its where I am now.I dont like this mental space I'm in.
> Its different than at ur moms.Anyhow, hard to "envision" anything in the future when all u can do is "reactively" live.There has been nothing proactive about me or my life.Its been living white knuckled fear on high alert with a startle response that would challenge a cat
> My parents are running their thought loops and subroutines unconsciously and unexamined.Difficult to explain how HARD it is to be around ppl who are unconscious.
> They can be pleasant, but the lack of depth or ability to talk about difficult shit BORES me to no end.Being around ppl who dont understand u is exhausting, especially when they wont put their hearing aids in, what?!?
> Another day of feeling like life is going no where and wondering WTF I am still here for, because frankly I really have had enuf if I look deep.I've had the full experience, minus the imagined magical love/sex thing I've lusted after forever.
> Thats what I get for being a Vicar in a previous existence.I know I have shit to share, and can do production, however I'm overwhelmed by options, possibilities, and I am old enuf to know I don't want to spend 6 months of work on something that goes nowhere.Its so overwhelming that I simply shut down, and dont do anything — just imagine it.Sux, because this is how things operate in my worldAttuned to it all, unable to make it different, tired and fed up with life.
> —Hey.Not feeling well.Father just shared "help wanted" at hardware storeIt would literally end me.End any and all ideas I have.Might as well decide what suit to cremate me in.Besides that, sitting in, alone on another summer weekendWhy the fuck am I here again??Because I honestly dont want to hang out for 30 years to spend a few hours with my boys over the same time.Not sure I want that.I dont want 30 more years of this.No FUCKING thanks.Fed the fuck up with the bullshit, platitudes, performative hoop jumping, and general negative vibe thats always aroundIm fucking tired if this and want ti make it stop, alas I have to sit alone for the next 30 years for what?!?
> —suicidal thinking has been in the building for a week solid now, and inspiration is all around me.
> I go anywhere around here and all I see is people and places I dont want to be near or at.There was a damn good reason I got the fuck out of NY and east coast...
> staying aliveI'd already be dead if I never left here.
> Id be gone for decades by nowBeing gone is appealing on many levels.Puts a stop to all my bullshitPeople can get on with their lives without my sad sack/ass around reminding them not everyone gets a fairytale endingI'm fucking exhausted simply getting thru each day.My parents obtuse questions.Justifying my situation, because "I look and sound fine"Having to find places I can be without anyone bothering me is nearly impossible here.
> I have almost NO privacy.My moms in the room Im sleeping in every day rearranging my shit, and in the space.
> Didnt have that in CO thankfully.Im venting, but the suicidal ideation being back sucks hard.
> It will be a while until I have a therapist, etc.
> New York is not organized the way CO is.
> There it was clear where to go, and how to find help and resources.
> Here I havent a clue, and honestly tired of performative hoop jumping.Ok, been here a month and Ive been able to apply for Medicaid.
> Thats it.
> When ur not well, and depressions ur thing, getting help is the last thing on ur list.
> Back from hike.Realizing Ive been dissociated since being here.Lose my mind in old stories and rant unconsciously—good times!Im tired of it.And too tired to get over it now.Its swimming like a MF to keep head above water.Realizing i grew up with a 24/7 dysregulated nervous system.
> High alert never went off.
> Exhausted chasing mirages like "the american dream"All Im asking for is enuf money so I dont have to think or worry about money.
> Thats it.
> Not a billionaire.Just enuf, no more.And with my skills, etc I cant even do that.
> Simply tired of having no fun being alive.
> Counting time at ur moms im in month 10.
> October is a year off the streets.Id be dead if i had to go thru holidays in my car.

## Analogies & Metaphors
> So I'm not going anywhere soon.All this is to say that I'm trying REALLY HARD to stay positive and open, but when so much around you is the opposite of that if feels like paddling a canoe upstream in the rapids.I've felt that way for about 3 years now and I'm really tired of it.
> And now I sit on the edge of my life waiting for it to collapse down on me like an old rotted barn.
> I'm not doing ok as it repeats every day.I know its joblessness and my relationship making me feel this way, with a combination of rumination and self-hatred that doesn't allow me to take the boot off my own neck.The ego clinging to cultural standards and norms I'm not upholding or living up to, or just plain failing at it.I know its ego and cultural ‘norms' that have me feeling this way through comparing myself to others and "what's expected." The ego and its ability to lie and trick you is powerful.I've been working on my connection to ego and lessen its grip, but its fighting back for its existence—or that's what it feels like.I'm ignored, overlooked, and not spoken to by the woman I love and it feels permanent—no going back—and the idea of never reconciling and making up makes me not want to continue existing.I've never felt such deep failure in my life.I'll never be the same again, and don't know if I'll ever TRULY feel happiness or bliss ever again.I'm tired of life.——I know that after I send this I will start to feel better.
> Is that's what's going on?Make me feel so rejected that I just go away?Im confused, mistreated, tired, frustrated, unemployed, broke, and miserableIn some ways going to Kona is like rubbing it all in my face"Here's what you gave up your wife and family for..." Been thinking about not going as it might be too emotional 🖤 for me, but then I'm just massively confused 🫤
> Feels like dragging yourself thru everyday just to get to the end and collapse mentally and physically.It's made me very jaded and cynical and I hate that
> I'm just exhausted from keeping my head above water and feel like I'm being asked to walk on water
> My brain is tired and I'm rambling about nonsensical things now like the story about needing I think you
> I'm honestly at the point where I almost dont care anymore.You get too tired trying to cope and carry on like life aok.
> I'm just tired and exhausted from feeling like shit and I don't have anybody in my life to share life with
> In the morning, I feel like I can't push through another day and get to the end of it so fucking exhausted.
> Mentally,I feel like I'm doing nothing but so fucking exhausted every day.
> I'm feeling deep fatigue like I've never experienced before.Believe it's a combination of working, sleeping in my car (not ideal), and having a new girlfriend — plus still working on the job hunt every day.
> Please don't let Don know I shared this but he came at me fairly in solo channel and you can see what I started in the screen capture.Sometimes people hit a nerve and I write a stream of consciousness like this——Because I'm homeless living in my car, unemployed, and still in divorce no man's land having spent any money I ever saved.
> I'm upset.I'm just tired of where I am.I'm tired of working and feeling like I'm getting no where and that I'm truly worthless.Not of value for work or love.
> I had Jenica tell me this morning that I kept her up for a good portion of the evening because I was swinging my arms and kicking and doing all kinds of shit while I was sleeping and then I was mumbling as if I was having a full on conversation with somebody and it went on for a long time.Makes me realize why I'm so fucking tired all these years.
> I'm convinced I'm living a whole Nother life in my subconscious because I wake up thoroughly exhausted every day as if I've not slept.
> At Starbucks at moment but am burnt out being here all the time The staff know me by name, like Norm from Cheers
> I like to think of myself, somewhat rational and intelligent, and I try my best to be kind to people I meet somehow I've got the 8 foot dildo of the universe up my ass fucking me over incredibly hard.It's emotionally draining and psychologically exhausting.
> I dont like my life and I feel too fucking tired to rebuild it.
> I stand out with it and would rather blend in right now Feeling wounded like a mother fucker metaphorically Mentally and emotionally exhausted as a mofo
> Just fucking tired I'm sick of this and I don't want to do it anymore.I think the medication dosage change is kicking in because right now Would typically be crying like a motherfucker, I'm not crying.
> And, I don't know, when I got to the end, I had a huge pause for a good minute about rather not being able to say the next thing, but in my mind, I had like 50 plates all spinning at once, I'm just fucking tired.
> Have this deep fatigue where I feel like sleeping.
> Like I've lived a whole day in a couple hours.11am over here and exhausted.
> It's as if you're tired of it and then it swings the other way and you're not and then it swings back at your tired of it again.
> Just spent two minutes writing a message Only to have a disappear.I am starting my day at 7:30 after ending it at 10:30 PM.My whole weekend is been out with people, among them, but not talking with them so that feeling of loneliness and isolation is pretty fucking huge.I have Darts today but honestly don't feel like going because of the fatigue.
> I've basically spent the past four hours being semi zombie like.
> Cry to sleep and wake up feeling like I never slept.Go work (or whatever the fuck I'm doing for 12-14 hours and do it over and over.I'm tired of this
> Slept alot again last night Still feel deeply tired.But it's as if my entire physical being was/is constricted, not just my jaw.
> Like my brain feels tired enough at all I can think about is today
> It's like whatever respite the beach provided has worn off now.
> I'm sick of knowing I can kick the shit out of any role I'm applying for, yet I can't get the time of day from someone.I'm too tired, stressed, and dealing with a mental illness to try and rally after a year and a half of this.I have to rally to make it through every day let alone our an extra 20% effort on something.I'm not operating from, or am I in a space that ANYONE else is inside of.Homeless, jobless, and divorce.If you want to know what can break you, having all that on your back for as long as I have and not seeing a shred of fucking daylight to the other side.
> I'm just tired of being this way and feeling this way.I know there is something else, but for whatever reason, I'm not allowed to have it.and of course things like this reinforce the idea, as it has MY ENTIRE LIFE, that I'm not good enough.I'll never be able to shake that feeling as long as I have a pulse.
> Then I typically meditate and go for a walk feel like my shit is back together then I go to the market and eat that I'm so fucking exhausted Making myself go bananas out of control in my mind I'm wiped the fuck out.
> I just spent about 20 minutes with my back like that and it felt fucking amazing.
> Heidi told me this, Jenica told me this.Dog wasnt in bed this morning and looked at me with slight fear in her eye, like "please dont do that again"There are other versions of me living a better version of realityI can remember no details of any dreams, just that I wake up exhausted like I haven't slept at all.OK, off to hopefully not piss away another whole day being a useless twat/asshat
> Like work on the computer when I get done today by the time that happens it will be 9 o'clock and I'm gonna be fucking spent and I won't have any energy.I am never getting out of this fucking hole and now my car is gonna be taken away I'm so fucked
> I am pretty sure it's going to need brakes and then celebrator pad the thing I used to capture energy and put back into the battery it actually has a pad like brakes do that gets worn downanyhow.
> I've also had a headache all day kind of like one of those headband headaches like you've worn a hat too tight it's now turned into one that's like pinching right above your nose between your eyebrows.
> I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired of living like this
> You've been pushing yourself really hard, you're really tired, and you know you've got to push more and you feel like you're on the precipice of getting sick, not like a cold, like I'm gonna knock you on your ass sick
> Until I have those two things in place it's going to be very hard for me to stay "up"I can try as hard as I want, but I can't fight the pendulum swing from forced effort to feel good then when tired swinging back hard into pity despair crying basically falling apart.
> Im living in a different world than everyone around me.I get looked atI feel the energyI don't like itI looked in the mirror in the bathroom this morning and didn't see my faceI saw an old, tired, grey homeless guy who looks beyond sadness Withdrawal and resignation in the eyesWatching myself die as I live it
> I feel as though at this point I have successfully survived today and now brain 🧠 will be too tired for creative thinking
> even as much as I want to, and put the intention out there, I get stuck when I'm super tired
> The less people I know the better only because I'm tired of masking and no one wants to hang out with an old cranky depressing person when everything out of their mouth is negative.Easy to see how I don't like being with myself.Anyhow, theres no value in sharing my brain 🧠 nonsense so I'll stop.
> —I have no "fire in the belly" any longerIm simply fucking tired and still trying to make sense of why I continue to wake up and go thru another day In this head like a hallThis mind full of mirrorsNo sense can be madeWillingness is vacant
> just spent the past two hours typing to everyonewhy does it feel like I have to defend my depression?
> Digress...Feeling like I do I had to mask hard (exhausting) but tire is full for now.I have filed for colorado medicaid and have a case number but not an official account yet.
> —I know you rarely look at the phone.Meaning large blocks of time go by without looking.has a very long text message chat from an old friend from Ojai who moved away about a decade ago to move to Louisiana.Everytime everyone asks how I am.I dont sugercoat a god damn thing.You're used to it, but I have freaked out more ppl than you know with just the tiniest bits I've shared online out of frustration.I hear/read things people say to me about keeping it real, bravery, nice nice shit.Irony is I dont feel it at all.Like what you said to me last night, "you've spent more time on self introspection, inside work, than anyone else I know" which honestly was so suprising I almost said BULLSHIT to your face outloud but remembered the girls were around.
> —Attempting to let go of my feelings around this.However, doesn't take away the uncertainty of time spent poorly.Already wasted enuf time and sick of being alive like this
> They're speculating that it will make 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse seemed like kindergarten.Reason I mentioning this is if you have retirement funds in any kind of volatile investment, stocks or real estate or anything that can fluctuate a lot.
> no ideation or any of that shit.Just feel worn down hard like a pencil that is barely able to leave a mark on paper.And no one knows that neither the pencil, nor paper exist at all.
> I'm tired of spending 50% or more of my daily energy dealing with my mental illnessI could get myself where I want to be but it seems like everything is taking me 10 times longer than it fucking should
> —There are options that exist this very fucking minute for me to try to get out of this but because of money I can't get it.I was told last summer that if I left California I'd get to the ketamine and get some help.While I'm not in the car, MY BRAIN IS STILL IN THE CAR.—The only difference is not living in my car and being able to eat regular meals through the kindness of your mother.Otherwise I still basically feel the same.—I only exist to suffer.Thats all Ive done for years.Its unacceptable to exist like this.Im tired of being here, or anywhere.And I WILL PUT AND END TO IT.—I mean at some point I am gonna do it.and then everybody's gonna sit around and wonder why nothing happened, and that I kept warning you over and over and over again I was going to do it.
> I always feel overwhelemed.Theres NOT been a day I've not felt overwhelmed since moving into the car.Its like mentally hyperventalating all day.Fucking exhausting.
> Im giving up because nothing I do seems to make any impact in any directionRunning in fucking place for over 4 years nowFed up and simply done.My nervous system is going to crack, as in nervous breakdown.Tired of fighting myself every day to have some time where I dont feel like shit because of my situation.Until things outside me shift, nothing will change.
> That's not defeatism.That's the honest, worn-out truth of someone who has shown up to life with an open heart and gotten frostbite in return.And the most brutal part?The more you try and spin, the more your own effort starts to feel like a trap.
> A name that feels worn but present — like something that's survived fire.
> Its clinging,Its fearIts ego basedAnd yet it still can hit u like a bat to the headGetting ur bearings back from emotional dysregulation and tuning back into the same frquency as everyine else is BOTH exhausting like no other and interesting to bare witness to my own fall into suffering.I've got the Prajna.Ability and awareness to ones own shortcomings, their root cause, and how they manifest, or their emotional/behavioral path they take.
> -Im sick and tiredOf being sick and tiredAnd Im sick of bitchingIt feels like whiney complainingBut these feelings in my bodyAre unpleasant and no way for someone to live.
> Sooner rather than later.I feel like a stinky fish smell u cant get out of the house.Ur mom talked to me about going to the job placement place downtown at caufmann street.I see where that path takes me.If there's something I have not just as a superpower but nearly a mystical ability to see what would unfold and this is primarily because of the time I spent inside my head while homeless If I were to get placed at a job using the service I would likely be working full-time even if it was a part-time job.
> What if, despite treatment I feel at the end like I do right now?Fragile, unwell, sad, tired, and really not excited because everything in front of me looks like ALOT of work to even BEGIN to go anywhere I might want.Im tired of fighting myself to live a life I dont want anymoreI cant patch it back, so feeling done and tiredNO THING will motivate me to bother with extending effortzI realize been here all this time with ur momStill not restedStill feel watched and monitored, "where u going?
> Mark my wordsI go thru this treatment, and Im still here, Im done.Im NOT going stay and sit here like this everday FUCK THAT RIGHT UP UR ASS.No one knows what it's like Have your life rip ripped away from you and try like a motherfucker to get back to some semblance of "normal" and wake up in a fucking dark shit hole every day that you don't wanna be in Ready for 5 years of it?1.5 living in ur car on $10 a day?And there is NO ESCAPEPeople forget how fucking long Ive been pushing.Sick and fucking tired of this.I dont belong here, but some fuckface thinks its a good idea.I have a dozen brass knuckle sandwiches waiting for them
> Sounds like a shit-ton of work.Im tired from busting my ass to "stick around" for others benefit.
> Tired of not feeling okTired of the bullshit in my wayTired of living the same day again and againTired of rejectionTired of ageismTired of lonlinessTired of happy peopleTired of being aliveWaking up and doing this over and over is getting me NO WHERESeems like today goes into the "lost day" column.
> I'm still not apart of this society or culture.Feel it in my bones.I catch more women looking at me than ever before in my life, and I'm not fit for purposeLiving in my car has changed me in ways Im not sure I like.And the only way for me to cope would be to go have a couple of martinis or smoke a big spliff and then maybe I could chill the fuck out around other peopleI can't do it sober because I feel everyone's feelings and it's exhaustingI don't have the Jedi mine trick yet to be able to block it
> Just spent a half an hour and created a full sheet of answers to questions that come up and interview interviews all based on my own Real stories.Going on a walk right now and having an interview me like the person would and I'm doing it in voice mode so it's a conversation not a bunch of typing.When I get back I shower and then a little meditation a little bit of review on the company overall and then I have a CallI'll let you know how it goes when I'm in the know
> Awake with a headache and rain all day hereIsolation here goes to another level.No spruce cafe closebyNothing closebyNo way to get anywhereIn parents house with them all day, everydayAt ur moms i at least could be downstairs alone.Mentally exhausted when i wake up and sick of feeling like shit mentallyPeople here are living on another planetNot in a good place in any way, shape, or form
> Parents were gone since Sunday, back home today.It was nice to not be around the energy 24/7, but its back.I didn't have to contend with the "energy"'at all at ur Moms.Now much of my time is spent processing energy I soaked in constantly while living here.Only now has it really hit just how deep this energy and dynamic fucked me up for my whole life.Losing, defeat whatever u call it, its where I am now.I dont like this mental space I'm in.
> Back from hike.Realizing Ive been dissociated since being here.Lose my mind in old stories and rant unconsciously—good times!Im tired of it.And too tired to get over it now.Its swimming like a MF to keep head above water.Realizing i grew up with a 24/7 dysregulated nervous system.
> Exhausted chasing mirages like "the american dream"All Im asking for is enuf money so I dont have to think or worry about money.

## Vivid Descriptions / Storytelling
> However its hard to think and be creative when your brain and body are so tired all the time.
> And both times I wanted the pain and suffering to stopI wanted it all to end so the pain would end.I then realized I would just be passing my pain onto my family.Now I'm facing divorce and I have no control over the hurt hitting my boys having their family broken up.Thinking of their pain, and my own is truly unbearable for me.After this truly goes through I'm not sure I can go on.I'm closer to the real deep pain of this than I ever have been after yesterday.And now that everyone is feeling pain, passing pain on isn't as traumatic.Difficult to be traumatized when you're already there.I really feel done, defeated, and tired.
> My actions, unskillful ways Self-hate, self-loathing Consuming all my daysMy wife wants out Despair, my constant mate Unable to change my ways My life, I cannot recreateI try to reach out But my voice is but a whisper Invisible, ignored My world, a constant blisterThe weight is heavy My soul is tired and worn I pray for a way out For a new hope to be bornBut for now, I'm stuck In this dark, endless night Searching for a glimmer of hope In this world without light.
> I'm so exhausted right now and I want to just zone on YouTube and fall asleep but there's a part of my brain says I'm a lazy motherfucker for not doing work.Honestly I want to do so much art but not having a dedicated space where I can set up my stuff and leave it is prohibitiveOK, I will sort of go quiet, but I'm just here begging out on videos
> I'm just tired of being this way and feeling this way.I know there is something else, but for whatever reason, I'm not allowed to have it.and of course things like this reinforce the idea, as it has MY ENTIRE LIFE, that I'm not good enough.I'll never be able to shake that feeling as long as I have a pulse.
> You've been pushing yourself really hard, you're really tired, and you know you've got to push more and you feel like you're on the precipice of getting sick, not like a cold, like I'm gonna knock you on your ass sick
> Until I have those two things in place it's going to be very hard for me to stay "up"I can try as hard as I want, but I can't fight the pendulum swing from forced effort to feel good then when tired swinging back hard into pity despair crying basically falling apart.
> Just exhausted and nearly don't give 2 fucks About what I say or who I say it toAnyhow, other than texting you I'm inside my head all day I don't have places to go or anybody I know (my ageish) to chill with.So weeks of no social interactionPart of me thinks Id be happier back living in the car.
> Everyday is either no motion forward, or backwards motion.I'm tired of waking up.
> I can't tell if you're getting these messages cause they're green on my side and they're usually blue and I'm wondering if I already lost my connection or part of my connection.I'm really tired and I'm dashing in 12 hours from now one hour in the morning and then the same thing in the evening
> They feel "exhausted mentally" and "beat into a pulp", wishing they could "just do nothing" because they are "so fucking tired".Lack of Peace and Rest: They note that there is "no peace" and "no rest in the mind", and they "never sleep truly, deeply, peacefully" due to their uncertain living situation.Emotional Sensitivity and Being Triggered: The person identifies as "far too fucking sensitive" and mentions getting "really triggered" by being on campus and by a text message.Difficulty Coping and Numbing: They express a desire to "lean on shed and coat and numb out" as a coping mechanism, but recognize that "numb out is not productive".Negative Thought Patterns: Their head seems to go "from one negative thing to another" with "nothing that involves happiness".

> Im feeling numb to this existence.Have for a long LONG time.Basically because nothing makes me feel alive, its either numb, tired, or mentally self induced misery
> Have spent today staring at the floor.Deeply depressed, hard, all day.I want to get away from it, but its in my head, no escape.Hate being conscious
