Mental health and life are mother fucker man. Every day I try to learn from my mistakes and ease my anxiety through holistic, natural methods. And every day I’m reminded of my horrible decisions from my past, yet I feel like I just keep making bad decisions and mistakes. I feel like it’s so hard to make up for the past and I keep trying to claw my way out of never ending quicksand. 🤦‍♂️

I believe it eventually comes down to acceptance, you just gotta accept whatever was and whatever is .

Acceptance could be the key

Empathy for your pain, friend. I don’t know what to say to help but know that I do understand. Air hugs 🫂

Hey brotha. Thx for being vulnerable and sharing That not only takes a lot of courage but, in my opinion and experience, is an important first step towards healing 🙏🏻

Two modalities that worked well for me and so many others I know (including my wife and adult children) are intensive breathwork and plant medicine. (Psilocybin and ayahuasca, specifically)

They help reset your nervous system and offer a way through, where often none other seems possible.

Lots of info on all of this “online”…..

Godspeed and good luck my friend 💗🧬🦋

PS

No matter what happened in your past, you are worthy of love. That I know for sure brother.

Thank you brother, appreciate your kind words. I’ve been micro dosing Psilocybin for awhile now and it’s been EXTREMELY helpful. Still have tough moments on certain days and today was one of them. Thank you for your support, God bless you man.

Thank you all of you for your warm hearts and kind words. I love y’all man. Hopefully our paths will cross someday and I can repay the kindness you all have expressed to me.

Today is Holy Saturday, where the ancient Liturgy celebrates the "Harrowing of Hell". An excerpt from the ancient Liturgy:

Truly He goes to seek out our first parent like a lost

sheep; He wishes to visit those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of

death. He goes to free the prisoner Adam and his fellow-prisoner Eve

from their pains, He who is God, and Adam's son. The

Lord goes in to them holding His victorious weapon, His cross. When

Adam, the first created man, sees Him, he strikes his breast in terror

and calls out to all: 'My Lord be with you all.' And Christ in reply

says to Adam: ‘And with your spirit.’ And grasping his hand he raises

him up, saying: ‘Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ

shall give you light. ‘I am your God, who for your

sake became your son, who for you and your descendants now speak and

command with authority those in prison: Come forth, and those in

darkness: Have light, and those who sleep: Rise. ‘I

command you: Awake, sleeper, I have not made you to be held a prisoner

in the underworld. Arise from the dead; I am the life of the dead.

Arise, O man, work of my hands, arise, you who were fashioned in my

image. Rise, let us go hence; for you in me and I in you, together we

are one undivided person. ‘For you, I your God

became your son; for you, I the Master took on your form; that of slave;

for you, I who am above the heavens came on earth and under the earth;

for you, man, I became as a man without help, free among the dead; for

you, who left a garden, I was handed over to Jews from a garden and

crucified in a garden. ‘Look at the spittle on My

face, which I received because of you, in order to restore you to that

first divine inbreathing at creation. See the blows on My cheeks, which I

accepted in order to refashion your distorted form to My own image. 'See

the scourging of My back, which I accepted in order to disperse the

load of your sins which was laid upon your back. See My hands nailed to

the tree for a good purpose, for you, who stretched out your hand to the

tree for an evil one. `I slept on the cross and a

sword pierced My side, for you, who slept in paradise and brought forth

Eve from your side. My side healed the pain of your side; My sleep will

release you from your sleep in Hades; My sword has checked the sword

which was turned against you.
