I was considering killing myself....

punjabimunda,

I have had telephone sessions with a well-known Libertarian psychologist, Michael Edelstein. He is a Ron Paul supporter, so he understands where we are coming from. He's very good. Consider talking to him. Please hang in there.

Good people are the salt of the earth and I think we have a great abundance of them here on this site. I read all the comments to this "killing myself" post. There is a lot of love and freedom out there. I find it esp. interesting that so many people have gone through similar feelings from depression and despair to empowerment. I loved the comment about becoming an eagle because that is exactly how I feel.
I bought a little rubber wrist band from mises.com with the "Tu ne cede malis" quote on it, which means don't give in to evil. I wear it every day to keep me focused and not sucked in by all the evil around me. I know many on this site aren't Christian but I am and that is my source of strength. Punjabimunda you will find you way and your own source of strength because you are headed in the right direction. Live an honest life with dignity and everything else will fall in line. Oh and by the way, I too have alienated family, friends and co-workers and they hate when I agree with them that I am a kook. When I say agree with them and tell them in America today anyone who believes in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and individual responsibilty is considered a kook, they usually don't have a come back. But for some reason they always come to me when something crazy is happening and they want to know why. lol

will be with you. Never let the power of evil overtake you both in spirituality and also through your beliefs, stay positive in what you believe and know in what is right.

Ron Paul has started the most susbstantial protest against the status quo in reviving exacftly what is and always will be the law of our country the Constitution and Bill of Right's.

It is our duty to keep this movement going and bringing more people into the movement for Freedom,Peace and Prosperity.

The MSM is always most BS look to the internet for your news and information but also do your own search into what you need to know and do.

Fellow Freedom Lover, keep you head up and fight the good fight, may God guide you always.

they are designed to extinguish all hope.

but expect the best.

Bottom line, is you want to live your best life today and everyday.

Education is key and trying to learn the truth from the 'crap' can be very difficult.

I have a very intelligent friend who is well read, and a computer geek, so he can verify facts from fiction. There is a lot of fiction out there, ans some of the fiction is based on actual facts - so you can see the complexity of the situation.

Example of war: Bush Sr. went to war with Iraq, then pulled out. If there were anything more to that, we would have stayed. Instead Clinton kept us out of war. So, if puppetmasters were behind this, we would have stayed the fist time.

So, what Ive come to realize, NEVER take any piece of news at face value - whether from here or elsewhere. At least here, many like-minded people will openly discuss, each from their own level of intelligence and general knowledge from history or life experiences.

I am getting prepared - regardless, because history shows a depression happens about every 75 years - so we MAY be due.

In 1972 we had a mortgage on our new home at 12%, but the mortgage was for $25k. It was one of the nicest homes in the area (the other $30k in the home was from the sale of a previous home).

So, the feds should increase interest rates to stop the inflation and can't understand why they are doing the opposite. Like putting a band aid on Cancer. They just keep lowering them????

written below. When we first wake up the feelings are overwhelming to be honest I felt the same way. I started making preparations for the future bought some gold, silver extra food, water, shotgun (got to learn how to fire it) etc. don't know if it will help but it makes me proactive and empowers me. Try and use Dr. Paul as a role model. Look at him and his wife Carol how calm and happy they are, that can be us. Remember how he says "are we having fun, too?" Take his advice. I deleted a lot of web sites that were disturbing (real depressing) I now focus JUST on the RON PAUL platform and issues this helps me limit the information overload. Also, focus on positive actions getting involved in your community, run for local office help someone else run for office. Keep talking about Dr. Paul and the issues anyway, when things get worse all of a sudden these people who thought we were kooks will starts asking questions and that is when we have to have the information to give them so they can see what we see.
In the bible remember all the stories where people were ridiculed because they preparing themselves for the future, well maybe that's us now. Peace

Join a meetup group and get involved, or meet some new friends, keep us posted ( Pardon the pun) here on Daily Paul on how you are.. We are here for you and we need you in this R3VOLUTION.

If you feel you can trust your family doctor, I'd tell him. He may be able to recommend a like-minded psycologist, if he feels you need one.

PS. Those who post concerning finding a spiritual solution are right, I personally find Jesus' words concerning trouble comforting: In this world you will have troubles (tribulation) but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. There is a lot more I could post about Him - He carried me through the loss of a child, (in one way though, we have not lost the child-the child is in Heaven, I believe) and made me stronger for it. I would never wish it on anyone- But I truly believe that "All things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:28 (actually the whole chapter, especially from there on is a great comfort to me.)

you ain't seen nothin' yet!!

A divorce in 97' woke me up. I needed to review case law and the like, that search confirmed thoughts. It is so true and simple, the line that states "FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL" To be shunned or shamed is one of there weapons. BELIEVE ME, OR ELSE... THINK LIKE THIS OR ELSE... I could go on, though I'm glad you've found the people, flesh and blood like yourself that know or at least we think we know the truth? Only TIME WILL TELL... Being open minded is important... I believe we are right just as those that think opposite think they are right. Honesty sways my opinion and I believe money and power sways theres? Once again, "ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!" My friends here give me comfort that I'm not alone, I'm glad you've arrvied... REMEMBER... ONLY "YOU" CAN TELL "YOU", HOW TO THINK AND FEEL. Onward friends....
Remember the past as you look forward to today...

Hang tight cause you're not alone in this world. There should be a psychology class that teaches people how to cope with "the real world" once you discover just how bad it really is. I hate to use the metaphor but when the matrix like veil is lifted its hard to accept it all in. You'll blurt out information to strangers in the hopes that you'll plant seeds in people's minds, etc. etc.

The main thing to remember is that WE are correct in the path we're on.
You're not the "crazy guy". It's those others who can't get enough American Idol or at 38 years old find themselves constantly buying "US" magazine, to keep up with "the stars" that are living in a fantasy land.

Be strong and learn as much as you can. It's the best defense against the nay sayers. Always be honest with yourself and others and you can't go wrong.

I was on those 20 miles of bad road a short time ago. As I was discovering the truth, about a lot of things and people in my life. I have learned that if I over analyze everything the distortion of reality became very cloudy and I became over whelmed. The trick for me was taking charge of my life and making myself responsible. So please focus on being pro active and not reactive. Look for solutions and you will find them. Every morning I tell myself out loud, this is going to be a great day, it’s time to get up and get America moving. My beagle at first was looking at me strange, but now knows he gets a treat soon after and now it is routine for the both of us. He has been the best therapy dog for me. One of the first things I did was remove the negative people from my life and that was a good start. From the looks of this long list of fellow patriots I would say you are not alone. With that in mind how could you ever think about leaving us! It takes more than one person to march so pick your feet up. Come on now this way…left, right, left, right… see how easy it is.

There is something empowering and enlightening about finding the "truth". Everyone's "truth" is different. The way of the world is bigger than all of us. All we can do is make our own world as great as it can be. If part of that is through the members of this movement, then TERRIFIC!

Remember, you can not control anyone but yourself. Realizing personal strength and personal satisfaction are an integral part to NOT feeling like you have felt in the past. Take care of yourself because very few others, if any, will.

We are wanderers on this planet to enlighten the world. We the truthseekers are finding our way home. Welcome!! The light is shining on YOU!!
Peace and light

I am glad that you are still with us. Keep fighting the good fight. Together, we shall overcome any obstacle in our way.
