Yes. It has. This morning I was a mental mess. I had this awful feeling that you could become a victim to the flood that hit your area.
There are also those times when I felt like I was failing in my goals concerning your happiness. Those are rough in a little different way.

Maybe as a bipolar swing from smugness....
Would note a more chronic form in "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, where an academic attitude and mindset found calamity when a new opportunity surfaced.
A kind of prolonged "panic attack"--call 1-800-232-6459 http://www.family.org for a free, one-time counseling by licensed, caring professionals who will recommend local resources if that's good.
Another kind of "panic attack" or "state of calamity" is explored in Dr. Carol Dweck's "Mindset;" the kind of "have to be best/perfect" which, overdone, rigidifies into a kind of fear of failing.
You might also enjoy "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, "Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton, and "The Yoga of Nutirition," O. M. Aivanhov.
kind regards,
j.

My mind is sometimes is in a state of calamity. Remember to remain strong. Segregate yourself from this system(world) and have serenity.

Yeah, but the funny thing was I noticed that it was just my mind and not me. It was like someone had a voodoo doll of me and was taking control. Yet, I was able to see myself with objectivity and saw how all the activity was taking place at a subconscious level, and that the real me was the observer, who became still and eventually gained control. The beauty of the whole thing was the realization that my own thinking is not the solution, but that wordless nonanalytical thinking and realization from someplace higher was the salvation.

Yes. It's a tough place to be. I questioned the decisions I made. I even questioned the value of future life. The guide that led me to where I am today is getting the information from an unknown source that my life is a gift, and that it has purpose. I accept the gift of my life, and, as yet, am not questioning the purpose. I just do the best I can.

Chaos is the nature of human conceptual mind. To say, "MY" mind is identifying yourself with the chaos. Do it, Do it, Do it- Why did you do it!!!!! This is the nature of mind. Your true nature, as observer of mind, is Stillness!

No. However, it frequents the state of Confusion. That is where it was born. :)~
