For 7up:
"Sometimes the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine"


And a large shadow portrays how big we ourselves can be!

First of all - no, I'm not bored. Trust me, I have a million things on my mind right now! But I want to read your posts, your thread, because YOU are important to me.

Why do you think that everyone won't understand you? I agree that I don't fully understand what you're going through - but I accept that you have trouble with doing all the things you want to do, and that you're working on it. And I think that's beautiful.

As far as wanting to yell at hashem...what do you think the healthy way of doing that would be? I think that it would be something along the lines of saying, "Hashem, you've put me through a lot of pain in my life, in situations x,y, and z. I really feel angry because of that, since I'm not able to see your plan, and it's really difficult to even remember that there IS a plan, sometimes." I think it's fair to say that.

I felt a bit more positive today...

Is it because I did exercise...?
Or was it simply a blessing from my G-d...?
Or is it that a medication I am taking kicked in...?

Either way I am thankful...


It is great to have you people to turn to...

(thanks 7up and SB for your responses...)

Peace and Love Holy Brothers...

The past couple of days I felt myself heading up a little....

I was used to being somewhat inhibited, past coouple of days I was feeling less so....

(I feel bad that some of my posts lately were.... well a little confrontational....)

I want to slowly get used to striking a balance betw. being assertive but still sensitive....

Finding a balance is what it's all about - you'll get there.

Hope you're doing OK - sorry I haven't been around as much, I've been crazy busy with life...(what, life outside GYE???)

When you're down, remember what will help you feel better. And we both know that falling isn't going to help.

You probably forgot about my whole issue here about whether G-d is kind or not.......

Here is my bottom line:

The issue was never how I view G-d, it was my own issues that where coming to the surface....

See this:

עלי שור (ח"א עמ' רה')-  בהיות הטעות מצויה בדברים אלה....
דקדוק במצוות אינו ענין לעצבנות ח"ו,
יראת העונש אינו תסביך של פחד
,[a fear complex]
,[inferiority complex]  חרטה על עבירות אינה רגש-נחיתות
,[doesn't depress] לימוד מוסר אינה מדכא
וקבלת עול אינה מצמצמת.

אם אדם שאינו בריא בנפשו ושכלו ניגש לדברים האלה, הוא מתפיס בהם את עצבנותו ודכאונו, צמצום מוחו והרגשת נחיתותו
