Nostr Web Client

As everyone does, I have been struggling from time to time for the past few months and since my lifestyle is too nomadic to find a proper therapy spot, I have decided to formulate some of my thoughts and share them with you on #Nostr.

I’ve been reading „Mask Off“ by JJ Bola recently, in which he described that men have an inner desire for a safe-space to express their feelings and struggles in order to feel heard and connect with others, instead of trying to digest everything themselves and or bury them deep inside.

He described, that the space needed to be a compassionate, friendly environment in which you won’t be judged.

Usually the internet wouldn’t be that place, but I feel that Nostr checks these marks for me, that’s why I will be sharing some insights on #TherapyThursday with you and express some of the thoughts, anxieties and vulnerabilities I’m confronting at the time of writing.

Finally, I happily invite you to lay down your armor and share some of your thoughts and concerns, once we see that we’re not alone with our feelings we may find ways to help each other and heal.

I’ve been in and out my comfort zone for quite some time, but there is this urge to push further and at the same time the anxiety of doing so. My mind paces ahead and the actions I’m taking are lagging behind.

I‘m still training "The subtle art to not give a fuck!", but I’d be lying if people, especially those who raised me, wouldn’t get to me. I love them. They love me. But somehow this love seems to hurt both sides atm.

Some of my actions taken concern them and fill them with worries about the things that may or may not happen. Worries that I am battling myself, that are somewhat resurfacing through the people I love.

When confronted with this amount of doubt one may feel like giving in, hiding under a blanket or trying to make it go away by numbing oneself down through music, substance abuse, infinite scrolling and swiping or any other form of distraction that one may imagine.

Of course there are more healthy ways to confront these feelings and I believe one of them may be #TherapyThursday.
