You can listen, analyze your own situation, and are adaptable—all of these
are very good prerequisites for living a content, happy, and successful life.

Panta rhei (Everything flows)
The phrase panta rhei (everything flows) is attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus.
"Everything is in the process of becoming, in ceaseless motion."
"Connections: whole and non-whole, converging and diverging, harmony and dissonance, and from all, one, and from one, everything.

 

Thank you i hear what you are saying i would love to get out and do gigs, if it comes down to it i can handle some partying, my problem was that i had no income, if i had a successful job / gigs w / e and was self sufficient i would easily be able to handle the pressure.
Problem is when you have to rely on social welfare and such and being unemployed, until recently iv'e been studying music production at the university and has gotten an bachelor which took me 3 years so i have been focusing on that, now i'm done and are how do you say on "sick leave". It's a bit hard to know what the next steps is so i just continue making music it just makes me feel good.

Im working towards finding a label, hoping someday i will be able to play my music but all that isn't the main goal, i make music for my well being and it works!

Doing something creative is really the best medicine for mostly any mental health issues, small stuff or worse stuff! I've been trying to tell friends and such to start being creative as it is the best medicine that i know of.

Yeah i try to produce a bit like Boris, not exactly but iv'e learned a lot listening to him and he is impossible to copy. I don't want to copy anyone and what i make is always from a clean slate i don't import anything i just fiddle around and that has been fruitful.

Sounds like you have had a lot of fun too When techno was on the uprise, amazing!

Thanks

 

Making music for yourself and others is a meaningful part of life. The journey is the destination. Look at nature, go out into nature, experience nature, because only nature heals us. Learn to be amazed again, and there is something new to discover every day. If you stop discovering new things you are on the verge of becoming stupid.

An illness that you did not choose can also lead to mental health problems. You have certainly already lived halfway through your life, but you have a purpose and something that your heart is passionate about. Take the matter of publications into your own hands, Bandcamp, your own website, YouTube, Spotify, etc., tell listeners, here I am and this is my own music.

At 38 you are pretty stable and you already know a lot about life and yourself, but you can always broaden your own horizons. What do I want, why am I here, where is the journey taking me, what do I have to do to feel better. When you experience setbacks and fall, you have to get back up and keep going.

Your job title is musician - the field is art, sound art. You are one of the most creative people on the planet. Try not to always refer to music as medicine. See it as what it is.

I Agree, i live in the woods practially small community 10k ppl, with a nature reservation 50 meters from my door, so i do take walks in nature and its the best!

Yeah i figured out that music is the most important part of my life in sense of what im spending time doing, rather than engaging in stupid things, people do a lot of weird stuff, i stay close to music, so i might feel insane at some times and music is the opposite of that. Or an expression of it.

Yeah i did some tests, screenings and stuff in Sweden like 800 questions, and i got 99/100 in creativity, i dont remember the other scores but i had low scores in social things etc, like im a people person but at the same time im very introvert which is my main reason for doing drugs, which i have stopped doing, you know drugs is a huge part of social interaction anyway so its not weird that my life is less social when i quit.

But you have valid points, and i appreciate it. Thank you.

 

Great sentences and a great attitude from you. Thank you for your openness. You'll soon find out for yourself that you don't need to judge the society you live in. Most problems stem from childhood. Some problems resolve themselves, and some remain. Usually, however, you can live with them and move on.

It's good that you're facing reality and no longer need drugs. Problems just have to be solved, and as quickly as possible. Here in Germany, alcohol is the accepted answer. People drink for every occasion, and inhibitions/shyness disappear with alcohol, but the downsides of alcohol are terrible. Personally, I can only think of peaceful weed smokers. God also created the hemp plant for paper, clothing, and a joint.

However, if you already have psychological problems, they're more likely to get worse or stay the same. You have to face reality, sometimes very painfully, but only that leads to self-healing. If we can't change society, we can change our perspective. The greatest drug is one's own intelligence.

 

Yes mentally you can overcome anything if you commit to it and act on it, it sure takes practice and shifts from time to time, its like a cycle good ones and bad ones.

Im pretty strong minded considering what iv'e lived thorough but im not the only one, life is what you make it, but mistakes are inevitable.

Yeah same thing in Sweden, our country is going thorough some heavy shit atm, crime rates are INSANE its like a mekka for crime now, and that divides us, no one is happy really, ppl are scared and so on. Not me tho i don't give a F just think it's part of the collective well being.

Weed is probably the best drug overall, and i can take a hit or two depends on the brand, ive grown some weed aswell but its not an everyday solution, for me sedatives are the best. In very moderate dosages, like micro dosage or else im just a shell.

Staying sober has proven that my creativity peaks if im in a good cycle that is

Our minds are the ultimate tool for sure, but being completely free of thoughts like mindfullness is also worth exploring, ive tried it and it helps but its almost impossible to be totally free of toughts, when i make music im in that state "no mind" guess thats why creating is so important, atleast for me.

 

@JohnnyBoy023, I like how you see and live life that way.

Concentration and focus are the way out of mental madness.
Ultimately, we have a body that should be used and an infinitely creative brain, but a finite life.
