Identity Crisis

[Psyolopher]

This identity crisis is growing stronger by the day!
im completely lost, and i dont know what to do with my life!

Im wondering, if anyone who has used psycho-active drugs has this!
Im not high right now at all, and havent been for a long time!
Im a thinker, i think all day....every second of my life, i think and i think!
So, anyone who has had this problem?
Is it due to much of thinking, or is it a combination with psycho-active drug use?

everyone is lost and no one knows what they're doing.


Your problem its that you think you're having a problem.
embrace your probably talented fountain-like electric brain pattern as a gift.
use it to learn how to love the world.

fast paced mind is god flesh
complexity the green matrix of gaia
dance naked and mad in the black jungle of psychonautism
let your fired synapses reach for the heavens!

peace man! the universe is a storm of galactic proportions waiting for you!

LOVE!

I`ve felt like this Before.
We think so much, we can`t make a dissicion on what path we choose.
Therefore we feel lost.

Don`t see it as a negative thing, this is just the first step to a new lifestyle.

Psychoactive substances release your true nature.
Now you know where you stand, you can decide for yourself what you want to do with the rest of your life.

I`d like to know what you are doing right now, what are your hobby`s and stuff?

I used to be a chubby petrol head, eating unhealthy not doing shit really.
Now i`m doing stuff that makes me feel good like working out, biking, swimming, just enjoying life more than before.

Control your thinking by making quick decissions, don`t worry so much

If there is one thing I learned from psychedelics, It's enjoying the mystery, throwing yourself in the unknown and make the best of it

I have had this problem of not knowing what to do for years (puberty is what I call it)

One night on a high dose of mushrooms I got a epiphany. The mushroom told me that helping others is what I need to do.
I listened to the mushroom and started to figure out how I could helped people.
I tried to become a teacher, but it wasn't for me.
Now I work as a nurse, in a senior home.

Helping and interacting with people is what makes my life meaningful.

Psyolopher I hope the best for you. I am sure you soon will find what you are looking for.
I send positive energy to all of you.
LOVE .

I think I am in the same boat as you! I think so much it is crazy. Every night when I go to bed, it takes me a while to fall asleep because I cannot stop thinking about everything that is happening in my life. Sometimes, during the school year, when a little bit of Cannabis has been smoked, I cannot fall asleep because I cannot stop repeating all the new knowledge I have learned throughout the day. I guess that is not something bad. It gets annoying when I can fall asleep because I am unconsciously repeating all the physics equations over and over, and over again! I also have this identity crisis. Sometimes I cannot put the 2 together; mind and physical body. It seems like they are two different people. I sometimes get the impression people do not understand who I truly am, because they are not seeing my true identity, as my physical body only expresses a fraction of who I actually am; inside I feel this is truly me. I am on the road to discover who I truly am. About a year ago, when I started to come to realization of this 'problem', I just said fuck it, I don't care about my outer appearance, who I truly am is on the inside. I found this to be not true! In order to find who I am, I must link the two together; physical body and mind. I am now on the road to figure out who I am, as one, and not two different entities.

PEACE & LOVE

You mean like every time you reach balance with yourself, your outer self doesn't work that good anymore, and when you work on your outside your inner balance gets distorted? The analogy with Heisenbergs uncertainity principle is interesting...

 

[user_1919]

Yes you could say that. It is more less that I have been in my head all my life. It is very hard to explain.

PEACE & LOVE

its who you are. its unlikely to be the drugs. there is nothing wrong with you as such.

you you could try this little trick- when you start to dream, focus your eyes. keep them in sharp focus for as long as you can. it will break the self hypnosis
it may help. dont strain your eyes or stare at one spot, just keep them from slipping out of focus

yes, it's interesting... I think about this too. Sometimes I feel I need to spend some time with friends and get more social to see what's going on... sometimes I go hermit and don't even answer the phone. I used tot hink about it as two sides of the same problem. I know overdoing any activity is counterproductive though I gravitate towards the second anyway...

It's amazing ! I was just experiencing the same "problem" but I don't think that it's a problem. I'm thinking almost all the time, and sometimes the thoughts makes me confused, it's like a light bad trip. Do you experience the same feeling ?

However, it's not really a problem, this kind of permanent thinking led me to be far more aware about the environment and fair trade. I became far less wasteful and I try to help people as much as I can.

I don't really know what to do with my life, because I think, that purpose is obsolete in these days. Some years ago, I realized, that all people are exactly at that point and those that think they have a purpose are just killing time with whatever they do.

I do see any need to have a purpose, because as human race, as individual and as a whole planet we are rather insignificant. But that is actually good news. Because there is no need to worry. Enjoy life, be nice to others and try to find things to do, that give you some reassurance and personal significance. Not in compression with others, humanity as a whole or the universe, but for yourself and those around you. Be critical but fair. Share, love and generally have a fun time.

While you might not know what purpose you have, I am sure it is not about worrying and being sad.


And if all else fails, travel. Go somewhere you don't know anybody, where they speak a foreign language and have a different culture. The first 3-6 month might be tough there, but after that, you will have adapted and you will see life from a very different point of view.
This sort of voyage is very healthy for the mind and should be done at least once in a lifetime.


Edit: Completed reading the replies. As I thought... more or less everybody is there too. And this is a bunch of people that venture into the deeper realms of their own psyche... That should reassure you, that there is nothing at all wrong with you.

The thing is, that you are at the crossroad of your mind, where you see several paths leading away. And they are all more or less leading to things society, you parent, church, friends, whatever told you to do. They all lead to a type of life, you think is expected from you. Be yourself, or rather explore yourself. Psychonauts do it all their life and I don't think that they ever come to a point of absolute truth, which makes it fun and adventurous.

A think lot of people have this. Maybe you getting to serious and need to focus on something fun.

I think we all recognize this problem here. I had this problem even before i started experimenting with psychedelics and i still have it sometimes. What i noticed was that i sometimes took live to serious. So i tried to distract myself from being to serious and did look for more fun things in my life. And this worked great for me. Find a purpose, like fulfilling your self with joy! Or help others etc etc. There is enough you can do, to find a purpose.

I don't believe this is a problem, but actually that is something that is very therapeutic to endure. After reading everyones replies and noticing that it is common among psychonauts; it seems that we are all looking for who we are because of our mind opening experiences. Some people may have found themselves already, but some who do not even think about this stuff, may be totally blind to these types of thoughts. They have been conditioned and molded by societies pressures to fit 'the perfect person', so there questions never go deeper than, "How is the weather?", "How much money is in my bank?", etc.

PEACE & LOVE

I think its a phase that all young people go through .
