What is wrong with me?


Dimitri Hammer

905 views

The human mind is such a complex thing. Emotions, personality, memories, actions. Why? Why are we like this? Why do we possess this? We would be much more orderly and lasting if we possessed the mind of an insect with a hive-mentality, but no. We are human beings, with complicated ways of understanding, feeling, and so on.

 

What am I getting at? I am just rambling. I ramble often like a mad-man. Mainly to myself too. I think too much, I over-think everything. I go into everything with a too open way of thinking. Watch a film about death, and then I am pondering the question of death for hours to myself. Then I ponder about the meaning of it all, and how none of it matters. We work, and be all materialistic and fall in love, and then we die. Leaving it all behind us, going who the Hell knows where. In my case, hopefully Heaven.

 

Then I delve too far into morality, and start to hate myself. Morality is gray, but there is a defined lighter shade and darker shade of gray. Seven years ago I purposely picked the darker shade. Then I start thinking more and more about crime and my past, and I hate myself for what I did, but like what I did at the same time. I have no fucking clue anymore really. I am happy, but still have this painful feeling inside me, and I keep thinking and thinking and thinking and fucking thinking.

 

I am in a relationship with someone now. Finally after seven years I feel somewhat okay to be with another person. I still have feeling of guilt and betrayal though. I feel like I am hurting my late wife, but I know she would want me to move on and be happy, but I still feel a pain in my chest and feel this immense, horrid guilt. Then I think about my past. What if it all ones back to me, and it hurt the people I love? Constant thoughts keep rattling my mind, and plaguing my dreams.

 

Here is what I think is wrong with me. Let my tell my "symptoms."

 

First off, I think too much. I already established that.

I have a terrible temper. Is hard to control myself when people are ignorant and, outright cruel to my friends.

I have a feeling of guilt and feel like I am betraying my late wife for being in a relationship now.

I have a feeling of anxiety, and have this fear of my past coming back.

I am not depressed, but I feel weird inside. Like I am not really here, even though I feel so happy right now.

I am scared often. I feel like I am going to mess up the life I have here sometimes, and I fear it. I fear myself. What if I do something stupid?

 

Honestly, I not know what the Hell is wrong with me. Am I depressed? Am I crazy? Am I bipolar? I not overly angry, and then depressed. I not think I am bipolar. I just have bad temper control, and let people get to me I think. Am I still depressed? Maybe I feel like the past is still not resolved. I am hoping to correct that some though. I has a plan to hopefully resolve things from my past. I mainly fear myself. I know what I am capable of, because I have done it before, and I not want to lose my temper and "blackout" and do something I will immensely regret.

 

I am really strange. I am really happy right now though. I mean, I am elated. The happiest I have been in seven years, and I feel awesome. I just think too much, and worry too much. The main problems are my temper, my feelings of guilt, and my fear of ruining my life. I sometimes think if I am insane. I know I am smart, I am a person capable of intelligent thinking, but am I sane? I not know.

Dimitri! It's good to see your contemplative personality once again. smile.png

I'd say that it's hard to really "overthink" something; we could use more people like you. I inherited my father's engineering mindset, and as such I have a tendency to think thirty steps ahead, and into possible futures/outcomes that will never come to pass, but I wouldn't call it a bad thing.

Is it tedious? In some cases, but more often than not, it's helped more than it's hindered me.


And as for your feelings about your late wife...you don't have to find the answers right now. Nobody expects you to. My parents both lost their first fiance's right before they were each going to get married, and they'll attest to the time it takes for people to come to terms with those events. It was terribly hard for both of them, so don't hear me wrong - but if things didn't play out the way they did, they wouldn't be in the wonderful relationship they're in right now.


As much as you may fear your past or your anger coming back to haunt you, I'd point to the fact that you wrestle with these ideas far in advance, before they even have a chance to happen. Your preemptive work has probably done all of the hard work for you.

Morality in and of itself is a huge topic to ponder on, and to be quite honest: if morality is defined by people, then we live in a scary world. If everyone is allowed to have their own standard (or even if the general populous gets to decide for you), then what's wrong for some is right for others, and chaos ensues. Whatever the case, you've seen firsthand what happens, and I think your experience alone is enough to keep you from returning to where you were.

I have faith in you. Now you need to have faith in yourself. :)

Thank you :)

 

Yeah. Thinking about everything has more than often helped me in my life. Has helped me with many problems. It hurts when thinking about the wrong things, but is incredibly useful nearly every other time.

 

In relation to my anger...I have had relapses several times this year. Temper gets control of me, and I freak-out. I always try and express it in a proper way, but it never works for me. Just have to keep thinking of something I guess.

 

As for the past. You are right. After going through it, I know enough that I not want to go back.

 

Thank you friend. :)

Dimitri, I know personally from being a friend of yours for over a year that you're a changed man. A man's past does not, nor should, determine his future. 

 

And in relation to Aleksandra, you've said before above all she would want you to be happy, yes? Was she not an open minded person? I personally

 

 I don't know...I do get angry sometimes about ignorant idiots, but I merely tell myself there's no point in getting angry over it, for as a English philospher said "Prejudice cannot be reasoned out of a man. It was never reasoned in, and it can never be reasoned out". Sure, you can disagree, but what's one to do besides express your opinion?

 

And I seriously doubt you will go back to your past. You're wiser, you know how the "other side" is, so to speak. 

 

 

I don't know, I wish I could provide some words to make you feel better, but I still don't feel like usual self.

 

Here's to hoping your mind is eased :)
