You don't have to state what mental problem you have, but for wiccan/pagan/druid, you might feel that your mental connection isn't strong enough. That may not be the case. It could be because your parents were drinking cafeen and sugar while pregnant with you thus giving you the gift of short attention spans. ADD and ADHD are the most commen, and it is very hard to focuse for long.

Man my mother smoked heavily through out her pregnancy (I don't blame her. You should see what she married *Shudders*) and when I was little I had ADHD *Cheers* and sever clinical depression (Hide the knives folks) LMAO!!! But now that I have out grown the cutting, the short attention span guess what I have now!!! Go on guess. I HAVE BIPOLAR. Yap I have MOODSWINGS. Its not so bad really. I can be kinda fun if you have the right substances and the right people around you. Though I might suggest don't ever smoke out a crazy a** natural tweaker. I have done it. They will kill your high so damn fast. But allas yes I have bipolar and am on legal medication to keep it under control. Well beer, weed, and tobacco work wonders for mood swings to lol

I had major issues with my sexuality but now I told my mom and I feel much better and this way I can put all of my concentration into what I need to do, so therefore I am happy with myself right now until I get another burst of mental s**t again lol. Talk to you all later.

I have yet to figure out why people are always thinking that having something out of whack in your brain is bad. I mean come on. Being bi-polar is like being drunk. You have mood swings and if you have ever hung out with drunks then you know that drunks have mood swings. People pay an a** load of money to get what I have naturally and when its all said and done they are sick as dogs the next morning while I can wake up in the morning (I choose not to) and not have to walk on ins and needles cause of a damn hang over. So the moral of mental problems ENJOY THEM!!!! CAUSE SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS PAYING TO GET WHAT YOU HAVE NATURALLY.

Well I consider myself lucky not to do either drinking or being bi-polar, all the power to you if you are comfortable with it but I don't think that I could handle it myself.

If you have it under control its pretty awesome. Plus its really funny to have when you are around people you don't really like. You can b***h them out and be happy as hell you did. You can be happy as a monkey then suddenly flip out on them then laugh when you are finished with it. Oh yeah its fun as hell to have. Though it kinda sucks when you have blocked out all emotions and you get slightly emo and self-mutilative. Though for the most part its fun. Though I also think its funny to tell people that I am on anti-psychotics. The look they give you is funny as hell lol.

There is many a day where I wish the depression would just go away forever, but, I have found the upside to it. I get depressed, I get hella introspective, and it is there that I find my greatest creativity. A lot of my best stories I've written while being deep in the depths of a run with suicidal thoughts. So... yeah, guess I found my silver lining there. But the anxiety disorder... well, I could live without that s**t. *sigh* But it's getting better.

I'm rather displeased with my mental issue. I don't think it has any bearing on my ability to meditate though. I have Social Anxiety Disorder, really quite badly too. It has created also a low self-esteem for me. . . though oddly enough I'm also considered an Elitist. Go figure.
I think what makes it difficult is really the fact that I know what the problem is, but there's little to nothing I can do about it, except live with it. *shrugs*
There was also a point in time not long ago where I seriously thought I was losing my sanity. Things have straightened out since then though and I do feel quite mentally stable, thankfully. That was a hard time in my life.
I know I have a hard time focussing when I meditate, though I don't know why. Perhaps just not enough discipline or some such thing. Or it's just who I am.

Well knowing your situation I think that you need a safe haven for you to be able to concentrate with your father I don't think Iwould be able to concentrate either. This is what I think is your problem and when you move away is when you will be able to do all of the meditating you need with no problems at all.

Sometimes sanity is over rated, its okay to have a low self esteem. I know exactly how that feels. All you need to is to find your center when you meditate. Plus practice makes perfect

I know that once I move out and have my own space things will improve for me in many ways.
Low self esteem is a problem, I think, but I know what you mean. I know where it's coming from and have been working against it.
Again though, I think things will improve greatly once I've got my own place. It definitely feels like it's time for me to move out.
