If Ur Addiction Was a Combination of Wanting to Help People & Becoming Frustrated When Failing at This?
Question by Dodge City REBEL!!!!!: If ur addiction was a combination of wanting to help people & becoming frustrated when failing at this?
And wanted to begin a journal solely for the purpose of bringing a sense of middle ground to this, in the hope you’d recover a healthier way of dealing with your compulsion to want to help, (even at what may become your expense) and take better interest in your own self : WHAT TITLE WOULD YOU GIVE SUCH A JOURNAL?
I know writing offers catharsis, and a journal is a perfect ground to speak as honestly as you’d be willing to be, although it is a lonely place to be willing to expose very painful discoveries about oneself and one’s situation, it is a beginning to reach slowly to a healthier self, which will free one, EVENTUALLY? hopefully from the addict within…WHAT THEN, would you feel the title to this journal would BEST be???
I am the person, I’m describing.
I feel deeply even for the pain or plights of strangers.
Family, that is their pain is so overwhelming that I feel close to an abyss called lunacy.
Therefore, I am beginning a journal toward this, but would appreciate any titles you’d feel would relate to this problem.
Thank you.
I’d appreciate serious answers ONLY.
(Gaining 2 points through being mocking will hardly win anything for a better self in you.)
Thank you Rutu. Salvage is one I will consider.
I had thought last night of “Caring for MY Soul!”
which surprisingly has relation to “Aatma” Yes, Aatma seems what is needed INSIDE this very tough nut I have to crack, or go eventually mad.
Thank you again, Greci.
Hello, my dear Maderma. I had not expected anyone to have drawn the question you have drawn from mine. It is the latter reason which you mention that causes my frustration. I like helping people – sometimes very difficult people, not because I may win them, but because I know how unnecessary it is to live in bitterness, meanness, and the lack of humaneness to others, and all of nature. But I don’t think I am believed of my intentions, in fact often I am mocked and told I am stupid or a fool. That does not hurt me as much as having to witness that those who I’ve tried to help have continued to carry on as they had, even before they called me fool.
I’d like for the sake of my better well fare, then practice into a journal e what may separate me from trying to alleviate others’ hurt. For I too, will suddenly anger at times, and react with negative passion. And be at the very brink of hurting, in fact AT TIMES..beyond it! I fear becoming one who’ll lose the natural sense of compassion I >
And stop, angrily, & no longer give a d@mn, but I quite never arrive at that, because I can not succumb so entirely to the worst part of our humanity.Where my life has been far from a un-hurtful one, I say very little, although I cry, but alone.When I’ve tried to share the feelings of grief that are in my heart for humankind, & the suffering we cause,I understand totally what Vincent Van Gogh said upon his death-bed, better yet muttered, to his brother Theo, & then not to him alone but himself..”La tristesse, la tritesse..” because we all carry it & do the minimum about it.
If I do not begin a journal, attempting to find a middle way about the intensity of my feelings, I know there’ll be a tragedy to me.Lunacy, I feel already pursues me to find me, & I seem to find no one with whom I’d be able, & thoroughly fit to discuss this, as to find a resolution.No one really has the time.And their interest is limited.And I Am AFRAID!!! Would U be able to edit a title for my journal?Thank You.G.

Answer by Rutu
This is what i can think of right now. “Salvage” or “Salvage of Aatma.” Aatma is a Sanskrit word for Soul. Or maybe just plain “Aatma”.
Edit: I have a comment to make about title you were thinking. “Caring for MY soul” should be the message from the title but Not the title. Titles should have a message, an underline message which is Not blatantly stated but can be inferred after a thought. This is what came to my mind after reading it so thought of telling you. I don’t know if you are interested but there is a proper process for naming things. Like products, brands, companies etc etc. (Few nuggets from Marketing.)
