Although I have only just stumbled across this community I hope you dont mind me releasing 20years worth of a troubled mind:

- the inability to sleep due to a mind that wont relax.
- the inability to reason logically at times.
- the rituals I use top play out in order to relieve anxiety.
- the constant inability in social situations.
- the pain, that although I couldnt feel, could reason over time that I caused my family and friends.
- the empty eyes, that gaze out into world that we cannot understand.
- the medication, that helps me process my thoughts and remain stable, but more importantly the fact that this pertains that I have no control over my own mind.

These are some of the many negatives, I feel I have many positives I have to offer, and it is these that I hang onto:

- the mind that sees the world in a novel way.
- the intelligence, that astonishes my parents, my peers and academics.
- the friends, that I have made that guide me through a world that appears not meant for one like me.
- the slow but greater mastery of my mind that I appear to be attaining each day.

Again these lists are not exhaustive, but give insight into a daily battle that I appear to fight each day with myself.

Thank You, and Regards
Andrew

Welcome, Dualist... your troubles are not unique, although each set is distinctly our own. Patience will be your greatest friend, acceptance your closest companion. Talk freely, and hope to hear more from you.
