RE: How To Be Depressed: In Ten Steps
Wow!! Great post, I love your tongue in cheek approach! Thank you for touching on overexercising, not many realize that it can be just as harmful to our bodies as not exercising at all...it's one of the hidden addictions that is seen as beneficial!
Yes, it's difficult: Sometimes things that look like they are tools of recovery morph into new addictions or distractions in themselves. However, addiction to exercise is obviously better than addiction to alcohol. But it would be preferable to be addiction free.
For me, this requires making all unconscious pain conscious, and then processing it.

Thank you for trying to help others <3 <3 <3
Yet most people don't even realize processing their unconscious pain is an option. We are taught one rule only and that is: Bury anything that proves you are not a functional human being. Actually what we are being taught to do is bury our humanity, our individualism and vulnerability. It took me a long time to get out of that trap and start living a life that doesn't conform to societal standards and now that I am, I'm far happier with my 'unstable, wandering lifestyle' than I've ever been in the past when ticking all the right boxes.
The very sad part about this is how threatening it seems to be to some people in your life who 'don't understand' your choices. And lash out against them as a result. Actually, seeing someone being free just scares the living shit out of them.
Thanks for your comment, @holothewise
Yes, it's sad that there is not more education about humanity's unconscious pain and how people can uncover and process it. Hopefully this will change in the future.
And, yes, some people are terrified of witnessing freedom. I think it provokes a scary question for them: Why am I not free too?
Glad to hear you are living the way you want to. I like wandering too.
