The deep thoughts of my mind.

You ever sit there and turn the radio on, then bam a song from the past comes on and brings so much emotion and pain associated from the memories? 

 

The power of music can bring you up or send you to a furious crash of pain and emotion. 

The sound of heart and soul being poured into a deep melodic tune can bring even the strongest to their knees. 

 

A song come on the radio as I was driving back to the semi, brought such pain of the memories I made with her. It hit so hard I had to pull over and just sit there. Like I felt so disassociated with myself, I looked at myself in the mirror and seen myself. 

Looking in the mirror I was atleast 150lbs smaller, dark circles around my eyes and unkempt hair and beard like I was super sick. Almost like a cancer patient thats not having a good go at things. My eyes looked empty and bare. 

 

I feel like this disassociation is part of the cosmos telling me change my ways but at the same time I feel helplessly paralyzed in fear, debt and loneliness. 

Im alright being alone but the loneliness associated with it is what needs to go away.  I absolutely am disgusted by my body and the way it looks, I hate that I smoke again, I hate that I can't get my life together to save my ass. 

 

Im always left behind, pushed away, rejected and it almost seems like nobody gives a damn if my mental health is doing good. Im trying my hardest to get things straightened out. I want to be happy too like everyone else around me. I want to have a family of my own too. Id give everything to have a son of my own. A son I can take fishin, hunting and teach him to be better in life than I was. 

 

Mental exertion and childhood trauma can severely affect a man thats been told all his life to "suck it up like a man" or "youre less of a man if you cry about your feelings" or the shittiest one yet, "take it like a man you pussy."  

 

I dont know anymore. Most of the time I just want it to end as if I have nothing to look forward to. Staring out of a windshield making miles and money, enough to finance a home and newer vehicle doesn't make me happy like it should and I can't understand why I feel this way or how to stop feeling this way. Guess we just wait and see.

Bunnie - My friend, I think it’s time to go get some support. Do you have men’s groups in America? Where men come together in a space that is solely for them, and have a shed with tools and access to build things or simply potter, and talk and support each other? I sure hope so as I think it could be great for you. Another stigma that often accompanies the many things we’re told, like the ones you suggest above, is that getting help or seeking support is weak. It’s not. You are worth it. *big hugs*

Bunnie - Bummer :( It’s bad here too, but we’re working hard to try to change that.

bunie - I absolutely adore music and the idea of music therapy and have studied it a lot. Its wild how the mind reacts to music and brings back such strong feelings and memories

ribbonbaby{Guarded} - I am so sorry you are going through this time. I understand what that type of pain is like. Pain so bad, and yet so empty that it consumes. If you would like to talk, I am open to listen.

forgedbyfire - Music is definitely cathartic. Sometimes sounds, beats and lyrics can hit you deep your soul at just the right frequency and just the right time in your life to open you up. The chasm between being alone and loneliness is deep. I'm sure that having a job where you are alone most of the time doesn't help. Know that you are not alone in having to deal with generational toxicity and trauma. I'm saddened for you, especially, that expressing emotions has been discouraged. Like Bunnie said above, I do believe that you should seek support -- mental health, spiritual, familial, personal -- or a combination of all of the above. We all hit walls that we need help to overcome. Sometimes, even though it feels weird, you have to keep asking and seeking until you find the right fit. I wish you well, brother.
