But I could never bring myself to accept this is life. I'm still grieving for my life.
Same I have these moments once in a while but they never last and again I go back to same old hating life.Sometimes I'll get these waves of being able to accept my situation and being okay with what my future most likely will be but it never lasts.
To complex to understand o.OWe can meta-accept the resistance to accept-accept our situation. This will lead to being able to accept-accept.
Like?Does this work the same for death?
We can accept that we can't accept, then we'll be able to accept later.To complex to understand o.O
This sounds quite neat, and I think the first part is true. The best course of action is always to accept reality as it is. If it is unacceptable, then accept it as such. But making that final leap - its not at all clear to me how to do it without strayin off course. How can you accept something you already accepted as unacceptable without changing your mind? But maybe the point is to let your thoughts evolve without repressing them, so that you can bring yourself to a point where your mind would be able to change.We can accept that we can't accept, then we'll be able to accept later.
It's not the same form of acceptance. There's emotional or "shit-tier" acceptance and then there is a higher-level acceptance which comes from secure knowledge and understanding. You drink caffeine late, you'll have trouble sleeping sort of thing.This sounds quite neat, and I think the first part is true. The best course of action is always to accept reality as it is.

To start living first one has to accept death?Like?

Yeah, we want understanding, not experience.So pretty much what I implied in the last sentence. Allow your mind to accept on an emotional level, so you'll find yourself so free of all the emotional balast that you are able to see things from a higher, universal point of view.
I had a few of these transcendental experiences. They never lasted.
I think the first step is to accept your life but if you don't like it, you should do your best to change it.
For example, I hated living with my parents so I worked my ass off and started living alone.
Now, I hate being overweight and alcoholic so I quit alcohol and started working out lots.
I know, it's hard, but remember: your mind is the one giving the orders here. You can choose to do nothing and become more suicidal or to actually improve your life quality.
exactly.Not saying it's impossible, but I realize just how differently these things manifest in all of us and how it can be far more difficult (and sometimes is impossible) for some people to better themselves, even if on paper (or on screen these days), the same words are used to describe what is sometimes very different experiences.
exactly.
i also was able in my mid twenties when i realized that i have to take responsibility for myself that i have to make changes and get active. it eased my depression back then and it got a bit better.
but some things like pain and anxiety which seems to go on for generations in my family were so deep that i was never able to solve them for 20 years and so the always kept me in a depressive state which in the worst times made me so empty and everything so meaningless that even the easiest tasks became a huge mountain to climb which then felt so overwhelming that it felt impossible.
it would be nice if it would be that easy like @WornOutLife said: "You can choose to do nothing and become more suicidal or to actually improve your life quality".
but sadly i fear that is often not possible cause sometimes even the energy to choose is missing cause the hole is so deep and dark that it feels impossible to escape.
I know what not having the energy to keep on living feels like. My words are just what should be done but hell yeah, it's extremely difficult to get out of the ctb zone. I've been there since I'm 12 and only this year do I feel like I can kick this bipolar disorder and depression's asses lol.
Anyway, hope more ppl can win this battle. It's almost impossible but not impossible. (No pun intended)

This, exactly.Sometimes I'll get these waves of being able to accept my situation and being okay with what my future most likely will be but it never lasts.
