Observing reality as it is

[anuglymale]

Does anyone feel that there is a part of their brain which tries to ignore the reality and make an illusion that the world and their life is not as bad as it really is? It sure does seem to be the case for me, as I somewhat "feel" how one part of my brain, which sees the reality as it is, gets cloaked from time to time by the part which tries to heed me baseless hopes

I'm really good at pretending and deceiving myself everything it's ok while the world around me is burning, I think if a normal person would be somehow transfered into my body and mind they would just bash their heads in panic against a wall till they'r dead

I think that part of your brain is your sanity. This is the part we are at war with. We are denying this part of ourselves to live in our perceptual lies but who can blame us, it seems that nobody lives with the actual factual reality. Everybody is living in some kind of perceptual reality, while overlooking facts completely. But I believe logical factual reality is the only place we can ever truly. We are deeply conditioned to overlook reality so it's the hardest thing in the world to live in the moment.

That part of my brain feeing hopes is killing me to be honest. It keeps reminding me of my ex and dreaming about getting back to her - even though I'm a complete loser.
I really wish I could stop my brain from dreaming the entire time and just turn the damn thing off.

Deceiving myself works wonders, and all is well until I open my wallet or try to draw money out from my bank account. Smacks me back into reality and then anxiety starts sinking in. Then depression. It's so difficult to find that sliver of hope sometimes.
