    The “nobody makes it out of this life alive” bit and the “he keeps dancing until it rains” part really spoke to me.

    You CANNOT solve the problem if you are still fighting against it.
    If you are still struggling with the issue that dejected you or the problem that stuck in your life, let it go. Do not fight against it. Sometimes accepting and letting go can give you the highest peace.
    Isn’t?
    Some problems are not solvable by our power; they are out of our control. Fighting against them destroys our mindset and energy level.
    Let it go and take a breath

    Ironically, I lived a life that centered on the feelings of others. Instead of expressing my feelings frankly, I thought I had to live a happy life that would require suppressing my feelings to avoid making problems.
    At the same time, I firmly believed that my inner anxiety or nervousness should not be revealed. I tried to think positively or forced a smile on my face, hiding my unease and pretending not to know.
    Some feelings discomforted me, which I knew I should not be feeling, yet whenever those feelings arose, I would deny myself and suffer.
    I thought this was the right way, but reality told me the contrary. I became more vulnerable. I started to use the "Intended mindfulness playlist' and got much better. It really works 🙂

    Dope, I learned that changing your mindset on how you look at problems can help change that stigma. The word "problem " gets such a bad rap that nobody knows how to get out of it. Take inventory of where you are? where you want to go? and how your gonna get there, finally take the first step and try it. Lastly FAIL there is no success if you don't try. Here we go.

    So if you just take a inventory of where you are right now
    understand
    where you are
    what resources you have
    how much money you have
    what education level you have
    what connections you have
    and then think about
    where it is you want to go
    what is it you want to be
    don't think five years
    think two years
    just two years something that's within vision and then notice
    what it will take for you to get from here to there
    what is the path between here and there
    and if you don't know the path
    find someone who has taken that path
    find someone who has already done it and
    if you cannot meet them directly find it out in books
    you've got the internet
    you've got all of these resources and
    this is the step that no one takes.
    Love it.

      If you learned something from your failures then it wasn't a waste of time - it was an expensive lesson. They taught us in college that the person who fails and stops trying is the only failure.
      Look for the lesson and change your angle of attack.

    Talking about this is extremely important! Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorders are not understood very well by doctors, much less the general public. I congratulate you for having the confidence and determination to inform people of these disorders and the fact that you are functional. Keep it up, and good luck!

    "You are all going to die"- Mel Gill
    I have always known this harsh truth since early childhood, but it is true.
    The fact that we are going to die one day means we only time to solve problems now or our dreams will never come true. We need the solution-focused mindset, not the problem-focused mindset.

    Another way of looking at it is

    3.Solution Orientated, finding out what works
