    Munin-Hugin it's also a question of size I think. I can get across Denmark by train in around 9 hours. It's just a tiny palce. Nothing is ever that far away.
    I'm actually surprised it even takes that long. It takes about 8 or 9 hours to get from Berlin to Munich...

    You know, perspective really gets to people here, though. Like, taking a train for 8 hours in Canada is nothing. I'm pretty sure that won't even get you halfway across the country. But here in Germany, people think it's wayyyy too long.

        Why everything that is supposed to be good for the mental health makes me ridiculously angry? Be it yoga, mindfulness or my favourite culprit, writing...
        baah.

          Maybe because it takes time?

            ^it has already taken years.... (writing ~10 years, yoga & mindfulness ~5 years, I stopped caring about them this spring and it got a bit better.)
            Maybe I just need better anger management skills. Or less self-obsession.

            Ironically, I'm writing right now and it doesn't make me angry because I'm not going to put it online yet.

              Perhaps you should try something else. Maybe sport can help.

                Re: THE RANT THREAD!

                I never did yoga for mental health. I did yoga because I like to stretch, and discovered that after 10 sun salutations, I felt relaxed. I didn't do mindfulness for mental health, I did it because I wanted to be more aware and in better concert with my self and my surroundings, and I discovered that it also lead to impoved mental clarity. I found the same from reading a book, walking on the beach, hiking in the woods, swinging in a hammock under some trees....

                Maybe its because the motivation for doing the activity isn't right for you. I mean, if you like gardening, gardening has been shown to improve mental health...if you like running or swimming, you can run or swim and it will improve your mental health, etc. I certainly wouldn't want to do something just because its supposed to be good for my mental health.

                  ^ good points, Thal & Gleb. I tend to go around looking for quick fixes... and sport is definitely something I need in my life. (Even my doctor recommended it.)
                  Haven't just found the right thing yet.

                    It could also be that when you give yourself a few moments of quiet, what you repress during the day comes out. If you deal with that first knowing you need to work through it you might be able to meditate/yoga etc more effectively.

                    I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
                    It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
                    Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

                      We have had dinner guests for the past few hours. For the past hour I've been trying to get them to leave, I have a really bad headache and have told them so. They're still here. Wtih no plans for leaving...

                        Last Thursday my baby brother went into surgery to remove a cancerous tumor they had found. They told him by removing it, it would be gone and he would be fine. That it hadn't spread any where else. They biopsied the tumor and called today to tell him that it was an extremely progressive form of cancer and they aren't sure it hasn't spread to other parts of his body. Why the hell did you give him a false hope like that??? Why did you tell him by removing the tumor he would be fine. That the cancer hadn't spread because you had caught it so early? You didn't know this for sure. You were just guessing. You should have kept your damn mouth shut until you knew that for sure.

                          Sorry to hear that, kalynraye. I don't know why they say things like that - maybe to instill a positive attitude, avoid getting the person worried, etc.

                            I'm very sorry to hear that. Most often it's true when they say it, and they just want to help people relax. But they should just keep it shut until they know for sure, because it causes much more pain when they are wrong. He is in my prayers.

                                I am so tired of hearing abut the Gay Marriage court ruling when the whole thing was about civil rights, freedom, equality and application there of not specifically about Gay marriage or gay community any more than the Loving versus Virginia interracial Supreme Court ruling was strictly about interracial marriage. Yet that's all that is being touted and if your not a rainbow waving flag carrying person you must be homophobic. Heaven forbid you bring up that other groups are already trying to jump on that band wagon dealing with Concealed Gun Carry, Pedophilia being changed to be a recognized as a legitimate biological mental and medical condition same as Homosexuality is recognized or even some groups asking now about polygamy. That and don't even show how Loving versus Virginia was challenged and even ignored for many years by various states and the number of "Equality" and "Civil Rights" cases that arose because of that court findings.

                                Nope you have to be homophobic because your not waving the rainbow flag and jumping up and down screaming congratulations!
