Night Shift

It's one of life's mysteries isn't it? Perhaps we will never know.

Good Morning Everyone, I'll bite - What does the fox say?

Hi @Former-Member 🙂 how are you today?

[Former-Member]

Hello @Former-Member, I'm good this morning thank you and hope you are too. I woke up properly this morning, . . think I should go for 4 hour walks more often 🙂

I hate the term Mental Illness, I think it takes all the physical out of it. I could never understand how my thoughts made me sick and gave me pain, because they were physical things. I tried to learn a bit about it on the internet. Probably the worst thing to do. I learnt that the cells in the brain are the only cells in the body that carry a variable voltage. I believe those cells go through a synaptses and get magically turned into a chemical that then goes through a post synaptses. That chemical then does a variety of things, I suppose because of the varying voltage - each varyation must make a different chemical. From that I have gathered that an emotion is a chemical reaction, that varies depending on an extrenal influence. But it's not just your emotions that are affected, it affects muscles, organs and everything. Your brain keeps developing while your growing, so until your fully grown it's changing rapidly (I think it keeps changing still after that, but not as significantly) So I'm thinking if you get a lot of negitave influences when your young your brain will develop accordingly - not wrong - just in line with your circumstances. There's not a brain out there that's wrong, not even those that cause harm. I've gone through the whole trying to forgive, I can't, but I try to understand. I can't help thinking what happened to those people, that made their brains work that way; and if what I went through helped my brain develop in a less harmful way, then I suppose I'm glad - though I think there would have been much better ways to go about it. I came on here just to chat, but I see so much chemical reaction that's so similar to my own, that all this babbles just coming out. I hope it's ok?

Good morning, @Former-Member 

I liked reading your thoughtful post. I tend to agree that negative influences in childhood affect the way the growing brain develops. I also am a believer in inherited genetic predispositions to certain brain chemistry. Even if you are unable to reach forgiveness, it seems a sign of wisdom and understanding that you consider the overall lives of those that have caused you harm. I too have abstract ideas about these things and have often tried to imagine what the lives of others might have been. I come from an abusive childhood family. I struggled for a long time with anger at my parents over this. It has since brought me much greater peace to understand that their lives had led them to that behaviour too. It's really interesting what you say about brain chemistry affecting emotions, but muscles, organs and everything. I too feel it as a whole body experience.
