Dear "Scared & Sleepless"

Life is much to beautiful to simply go and kill yourself.It is much to beautiful to be scared and worry all the time.Your life is to precious to not be free and feel happy.

The first lesson you have to learn is that drugs aren't good for you. Especially not to solve any emotional issues or simply for the fact of entertainment, eg hanging out with your friends. I think that you experienced that, now see that truth and choose another way of life.

I can understand that your experience is challenging you tremendously. If you can not see this trough yourself you should consider seeking advice from a doctor, a physiologist, a spiritualist or a dear friend. Someone you feel comfortable with.

The first step is to know about the spectrum of your mind. It is an incredible organ with an incredible power. I can assure you that all you experience is only happening within your mind and has no other reality, as well if it feels like that to you. Implement this knowledge for it will help you stand aside from your experience. Seek understanding and educate yourself.

Change your lifestyle. Increasing the stability of your nervous system can be of incredible help to you. You know what is good for you, do you? Exercise, eat healthy, go to bed early, take in some fresh air and sun. Yoga and meditation are very good to relax and rebuild the nervous system. Seek help from natural remedies such as valerian drops which calm you slightly and help you sleep better. Rest and try to find a place you can relax. Take everyday a small step towards better physical health and continue gradually.

No 3. Try to redefine yourself. Commit yourself to that process entirely. Buy a scribbler and write down short truths about yourself. Do it every day. Don't focus on the past or problem to much. Acknowledge it and move on focusing on your path to a better life.

If you truly desire to change your state of mind then you will succeed and your life will change accordingly. You have all the power you need, you just have to realize it. I wish you strength, belief and determination. Those are the ingredients you'll need to make a difference. Love,

Sibylle
Sibylle, I don't think it's as easy as that for scared and sleepless. He (she?) doesn't need to change his (her?) "state of mind". That was very pat and simple advice that it sounds like you've given to a hundred people before. It sounds to me like the problem is a chemical one. A bad trip that has turned into seeing visions and hearing voices. I met someone once who had a bad trip on drugs and now he hears voices. I'm not sure what one can do about it if anything. I would though, scared and sleepless, highly suggest seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist. The one thing I did like about Sibylle's response though is the suggesting to hang in there and keep the faith. That's all you can do in times like this. Scared and sleepless, I hope you get some wonderful, luscious sleep. Try to take it easy and hang in there.
