>Sounds like you're having a rough time. I went through a period of massive stress and confusion not too long ago, and I offer you the following advice:
>
>Eat lots of healthy food and try to maintain a regular sleeping pattern. Like 7 or 8 hours a night, at the same time each night. Strenuous exercise can help you sleep better sometimes.
>
>Avoid drugs, alcohol, partying and distractions like music and television for now.
>
>Try and get out of your head for a while. What I mean is- let those thoughts and emotions pass. Instead of latching onto them and getting pulled along, just let them go. Try taking a walk in a natural environment, a park, for example. Pay really close attention to your surroundings, sit down and look at a leaf or a blade of grass. If you look closely, you'll see amazing things you never noticed before. By focusing on external objects, you can escape from oppressive thought patterns. Nature is endlessly beautiful, and also very grounding.
>
>Lay off the heavy spirituality for a little while. Sometimes it's a good idea to just BE for a while, without focussing on trying to become something else. Just try to be fully present and aware, and when your mind starts to drift, nudge it back to the present. The big exciting payoffs will still be there when you're ready to go looking for them again.
>
>Try and find someone you can sit down and talk to about the issues that are bothering you. This is actually a tough one, because you need a truely wise and caring person who can give you careful, reasoned feedback. Someone you respect and trust.
>
>Simple prayer can be amazingly useful, if you're open to the concept. Don't ask for favors. Give thanks and praise. Find the part of you that really IS grateful, and give thanks. For this life, for this day, for each breath and heartbeat. Give thanks for the food you just ate. Give thanks for the good, and for the bad, and for all that you learned from all those experiences. Give praise to God, or the Creator, or whoever or whatever you believe it is that sustains you. Praise all elements of this amazing creation. If prayer causes too much energy phenomena, back off a bit- just keep it short and simple.
>
>Other people CAN steal your energy, but the most common scenario is that we give it to them. When you focus your thoughts and emotions on others, you are giving them your energy. Negative emotions are almost crippling in this regard. Anger and resentment can drain you, empower your adversary, and then cause you to imitate that persons worst qualities. Find something about them to love and then conveniently forget about them for a while.
>
>I'm not a medical person, and can't offer much advice on the gland problem. Sounds like it could be related to stress or sleep deprivation. If it's K-related, then it's probably best if you can simply experience it without getting excited or emotional about it. Go see a doctor if it doesn't get better.
>Perhaps all of these ideas have already occurred to you, if not, give them a try. My heart goes out to you. Being unable to sleep properly is incredibly disruptive. I hope you're feeling better soon. Be Well. Michael
>
>I don't really know what's wrong, and I really don't know how to fix things
>right now. I am the spiritual monkey and I need to evolve
