I have gone through so many phases in my life, but the current one, which has been going on for two years, has been the worst. I have had so many health scares and countless heartbreaking test results.
Sometimes I walk into a blood lab expecting good results, but they do not come out the way I want them to. When people are undergoing treatments, there is always hope that things will improve, and sometimes the current state of their condition is what gives them the hope they need to keep going.
People experience acute conditions in life; however, the fact that they are acute gives you hope that they will eventually pass. We used to say that nothing lasts forever and that change is constant; I believe this is true for life in general.
However, when we consider the various vicissitudes of life, we realize that some situations never end, which is why they are chronic.
Chronic conditions cause chronic depression, which results in a chronic state of mind. Some things people cannot recover from, regardless of time, circumstance, or situation.
We somehow managed to live with it. It is not simply about being sick or something else. It is about the state of the mind and the chronic mental illness caused by various PTSDs in life.
Traumatic stress is very real, and the fact that it is chronic only adds to its reality. Somehow, we manage to underestimate the impact of traumatic stress.
Trauma is one of the most common chronic mental states, and it can be caused by life events that affect both the body and the mind. Not everyone has experienced life's PTSDs, and believe me, it is not a state that any human should be in.
You lose hope for improvement, especially if the condition persists. The state of loss or sadness has no solution, and statements like "good days, bad days" are meaningless. Only about 5% of people will experience this at some point in their lives, whether it is later or earlier.
21 months & counting
If this has been the case for me for the past 20 months, and why it has only recently come to mind, I usually find relief by not dwelling on the current state of affairs.
It is impossible to please God and forget about the current situation without faith. The mind is conditioned to think about the sense that something is wrong in your life; sometimes it requires restraining or discipline to change its behavior.
Ignorance is bliss
Over the last 20 months, I have made significant changes to my life and routine in the hopes of improving myself physically and spiritually.
I know I am healthier than I was in the past, but it does not feel like it, which is due to my increased awareness. Living in ignorance is actually beneficial. Its purpose is to protect your mind from the type of constant water that would deteriorate your mental health.
This is why the mind occasionally chooses to forget rather than always remember. The option of denial It is frequently underestimated.
We do not really know what people go through before they decide to be in denial. This is a state of mind that acts as a shield against what is real. Trauma causes people to live in denial because it makes it even more difficult to believe the truth.
Sometimes hope is a counter to what is real.
Who looks at the obvious and then considers the possibility that the obvious may not be so obvious.
This is how people get to do amazing things, reach the most difficult milestones, and achieve incredible hallmarks, but it does not always work. Faith, on the other hand, is different. It is not the mindless assumption that something obvious will not happen; rather, it is faith in divine intervention. So most of the time, I choose faith over hope.
