URGENT Your Merciful Contribution Would Be An Act Of Compassion That Would Be Greatly Appreciated;
I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;
This Disabled Man Existing In Poverty, Is $2,873 Away From Being Able To Afford To Take Care Of Myself And The Things I Still Need To Take Care Of This Month. Your support today could mean the difference between nourishment and starvation and some kind of stability.
This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.
Urgent need: $21,653, Monthly survival: $1,500, Long-term liberation: $25,000 to climb out. $5 million to build a forever home and sanctuary for others like me.

Why brain, why..?
When your brain can't make up it's mind... When your brain wants things that your body can not accomplish... When you want to deal with positives, and your brain keeps triggering the negatives...

My brain and my body have been struggling to agree upon things for so long now, that you'd think I'd be used to it. You'd think I would have find a way to deal with it, to "go with the flow" and just keep going strong. Well, I wish that I could tell you that this was/is indeed the case.

If I sit to long my joints lock up, if I stand to long my muscles atrophy, often my mind goes blank and I lose all track of time and have no idea where I am for a given period of time, voices in the distance with flashing and dashing lights make for one hectic existence, the pain that radiates from my brain to my toes that are so often icy cold, to the burning itchy skin I am trapped within, the never ending exhaustion and hunger that lingers forever, to say I am under constant duress would be an understatement, yet hear I am to tell you just how hellish my existence is, and you well if you found yourself in my shoes, I would be standing by your graveside, yet for me there will never be any support I need; Is There Anybody Out There? For this void if disparaging despair often is far more than I care to bear, from the constant physical pain and exhaustion, to the endless struggle to meet even the most basic of human needs, an existence in hell is what this is, for the relentless battle to find the strength to carry on each day, the fading moments in where time slips away unaware that I am even still here, a mind in decay as visions, sounds and senses hyper aware as darkness drowns the exterior world away, cognitive functions that randomly fail on a whim, mental break downs that nobody can win, staring at the screen screaming can you hear me can you see me, only to be left alone drifting in the empty winds, as my cavities fester and my vision faulters, as my cognitive executive functions silently surrender, a battered weathered shell of a being that has long vanished with the sanity within, upon this hellish rock to absorb the wrath of life with no respite in sight, for as you settle in for the night, remember those lost in an eternal fight;
You can encourage my continued useless #poetry, creativity and expression of self, #commentary, random thoughts, #philosophy and ideas, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…#MutualAid, #Disabled, #Poverty, #Help, #Survival, #Compassion, #Pain, #MentalHealth, #Food, #Groceries, #Hygiene, #Anxiety, #PTSD, #Bipolar, #Dignity, #health, #life,

PAIN HAS A CALENDAR. 💎
There is only now.
That is not an idea to me anymore.
Pain taught me.
Future pain is unbearable.
Remembered pain is unbearable.
The mind can take one moment of pain and stretch it across the years.But pain now is different.
Pain now can be breathed through.
Pain now can be met.
Pain now is only what it is.Suffering begins when I leave the present and enter the story of what happened before, or what may happen next.
So I breathe.
The breath brings me back.
Not to a better future.
Not to a corrected past.
Just here.Where I remember.
This body is temporary.
This life is temporary.
This pain is temporary.Not as an argument.
Not to convince myself.To remember.
I am not this body.
I am not Robin.
I am not the story of what happened to him.I am not the author of myself.
That is the relief.
I do not have to make reality, hold it together, or know what comes next.
I am created.
I am held.
I am the Holy Son of God Himself.That remembrance is enough to undo the world I made.
The Course calls this Atonement.
Not punishment.
Not payment.
Not the repair of something broken.The remembrance of what has always been true.
And in that remembrance, I breathe deeply.
I become gentle.
I smile at a stranger in the street and watch them smile back.
Nothing has to be forced.
The past is not here.
The future is not here.
This body will pass.But what I am does not pass.
I am that I am.

On top of my constant pain now I have more,
I have had several cavities for as long as I can remember, recently a few of them have been offering some agonizing pain traveling up through my sinuses and eyes and down through my jaw and neck, the aggravations will last a week or two and subside for sometime, right now is not a restful event, no instead my head is a throbbing bobbin in where the simplest breath can be rather nerve racking, wish I could at the least afford to order some clove oil, it may actually help, but I'm far to poor for that, so more suffering I am forced to endure;You can encourage my continued useless #poetry, creativity and expression of self, #commentary, random thoughts, #philosophy and ideas, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

Feeling bläh²
I thought that "just" feeling bläh was bad enough. It's not as bad as being fully depressed. But it's like you don't have any energy to deal with the days. You know you "have" to do things. You know you want to do things. And then... It's just too hard to actually do any bring, because there's no joy from them. There's no feeling of accomplishment. There is pain, emptiness, sadness, loneliness... But it's not a "real" depression. I can still get up when Koa is ready to start our "day". I still manage to do most of the chores. I am struggling with food now, starting to eat too much again, while exercising way too little. But I fear that I am close to really falling back into the dark hole 🕳️ again... I am on that ledge, my toes already crossed a part of it, feeling nothing underneath but cold air... […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/feeling-blah%c2%b2/

L'esposizione alla natura ci permette di provare meno dolore: già nel 1984 c'era stato un esperimento al riguardo su pazienti ricoverati in stanze con finestre verso paesaggi alberati o senza finestre, ma oggi uno studio più rigoroso lo dimostra.
Vedere anche solo immagini naturali distrae il nostro cervello dal dolore, funzionando come analgesico.

We Live In The Shadowlands
Shadow Carress, Rolling RidgeSeveral years ago, I watched Shadowlands and was deeply touched. The movie tells the true story of the author C.S. Lewis (Jack), who though an award-winning author, leads a relatively passionless life until he meets an American divorcee, Joy Gresham. It is the beginning of a deep love, a love that changes both of them in a powerful way, and deepens their faith in God. But their time together is short as Joy becomes terminally ill with cancer.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night afraid that something horrible has happened to someone that I love. So I pray for everyone I can think of. I reach my hand over and draw comfort from the warmth and breath of my wife who still sleeps beside me. Slowly my fear ebbs away because for another night the Angel of Death has passed over the doors of those who are closest to me. (Though I do not think it has very much to do with my prayers).
I want to pray as hard for everyone in the world as I pray for my family and friends. The Angel of Death does not always pass over. I do not want to live my life in fear. I do not want to be afraid of the pain that comes with being close to people and thereby miss the happiness that comes from their presence.
In the movie, Joy, in pushing Jack to be present to ALL of life, states: “We can’t have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That’s the deal.”
We live in the Shadowlands, between the sunrise and sunset. But the sun is always present and as long as I cast a shadow, it means that I am alive. Alive to live and love and care and hurt to the fullest of my being.
That’s the deal.

Do Not Wait To Offer Support, You Could Be The One That Fills A Well Of Despair With Life Providing Hope;
URGENT Your Merciful Contribution Would Be An Act Of Compassion That Would Be Greatly Appreciated;
***Thanks to someone's Compassion, I have been able to place an order for 12 cans of ravioli and 5 boxes of cherry Jell-O, which in this heat will actually help keep me hydrated and something my stomach can handle consuming, it will be here tomorrow, but there is still a lot of help I really need people;***
I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;

A big disappointment…
...and some feelings of shame and remorse... I have been struggling, I am struggling, and I feel I'm heading into a darker area, which scares me at times... I don't want to fall too much backwards, and end up dropping into a big, dark, hole 🕳️ again. I am not strong enough to deal with depression right now. I don't know if I am there yet... There are plenty of signs of depression, at the moment I write this. But, it could also be another autistic burnout... "Autistic burnout and depression share many outward signs — which is why burnout is frequently misdiagnosed as depression — but their underlying causes, specific symptoms, and paths to recovery are fundamentally different."

I was hoping to go to the gym this morning, but my back is still saying no.
Pain radiating down the opposite leg now.
I was thinking that this might be related to the time I was MTBing through a forest, and fell off and snapped my collar bone. I fell on the right side, and if my lower back ever acts up, it always begins on that same side 🤔

🤔 Next time your achy muscles are annoying and irritating, visit a long term care or retirement home and talk with residents about their terminal cancer; overwhemingly painful hip fracture that often means death within one year; diseases that leave a person permanently bedridden and dependent on overwhelmed support workers for personal hygiene and health.
Then be grateful for those relatively little aches and pains.
