20180703 I've realized over the past few days that I have a cyclic depression/anxiety. Fortunately it is short lived and not very frequent. I think I've had it all my life. Is it seasonal or situational? But during these times I don't think straight, make bad decisions, and say things that I wouldn't normally say. I don't work well under pressure. I misinterpret others and become hyper-critical. With the anxiety, my decision making process is off. I decide out of desperation and become alarmist, overly quick to make rash decisions. With the depression, I become moody, my thoughts turn dark, I find no joy in life. It affects every aspect of my life where I wonder if I've have ever been happy. I know I have but during these times I can no longer feel it. It is a dark place where I don't care whether I live or die. I need to remember this feeling and the triggers that put me here so I can circumvent them in the future and avoid all this. I also don't appreciate the good times as much as I should. Looking back over old emails I realized that the majority of our disagreements are in the summer, I don't know why that is. Maybe that is part of my seasonal cycle, maybe I don't do well with the heat.

20180621 Je Ja and Ri had a discussion slash blow out last night. Ma had confronted Bo when Bo came over a few weeks ago and was spouting lies. He was down the hall had Ri cornered in the bedroom and was saying that Ma was a liar about things that have been said Etc that she was misquoting El and that El and never said that she believed my inappropriate things or molested, if molested was the right word, that she used. He was saying that she El never told Ma that. Su had confronted Bo few weeks prior and then Ma had confronted Bo as well. With Ma out of town Je felt that if Bo came over she would have to defend herself so she was telling Ri what she would do so that she and he were mentally prepared for it. And Ri felt that Je
was making something out of nothing. That nothing had happened yet and she shouldn't be telling him, her father, what to do. but she was only saying that she would not let Bo corner him down the hall that if you wanted to talk he would have to talk out in the living room. It went back and forth it was very frustrating. Listening to them argue is like listening to two brick walls converse with each other. When Ri has an opinion no evidence to the contrary sways his opinion. He's very stubborn and set in his ways. And his thinking. It is partially who the information is coming from. He doesn't realize it but he's very biased according to where he's getting his information, some people when he receives information from them he is skeptical and always skeptical when it comes from that person. Other people he believes straight out.

That's about where I sit. If we are literally just organisms with no eternal souls (which to me is bleak indeed) I still want to make the most of this life and live as if there is something more, it makes for a better life for me and society as a whole. Whether we are reincarnated, or came here as a 'one and only' shot at life, we all wanted to be here. If it's reincarnation then we not only wanted to come here, but we keep wanting to come back. I enjoy life, I don't want it to end. I also don't see myself growing all that I need to in one single life. Whether it's reincarnation or a single life to live, we know nothing of existence outside of this realm. I think even we would have wanted it this way, it would spoil it to know all of the answers while we're going through it. Like a dream that you know is a dream and then can have complete control of, where is the unknown and the spontaneity?
