The pain within

The pain within

@Owlunar @Bunniekins @Former-Member @Zoe7 @eudemonism Hello everyone. I think dealing and recovering from mental illness, we probably will need to face the emotional pain within. For all of us, there are reasons why we got sick, social, biological, psychological ones. Those reasons can be very painful when we face them head on.

I got to know a relative who is from my father's side. Hearing her sad story made me reflect deeper in my father’s abuse of me.

I feel excruciating pain within, so much I physically feel faint and dizzy.

Those stories are very real. They existed in our society may be more in previous generations. How human souls tormented by mistreatments, abuse of power, abuse of trust, abuse of love, abuse of goodwill.

How we were treated eventually made us ill.

Through the sufferings of illness, we realize the reality.

I hope those pains will purify my goodness inside. Be more prepared for the darkness of the world.

And by facing them, to recover bit by bit.

@outlander I wish some things work for my severe anxiety. Thursday night, I was so agitated I couldn’t do anything but pacing around until I was so tired and fell asleep. But the next morning was a bit better.

Re: The pain within

severe anxiety really sucks @Meowmy
have you tried controlled breathing, meditation or PMR? some people think tai chi or yoga helps, maybe thats worth ago as well?
hot baths with bubbles?
talking it out with someone?
colouring in or some sort of puzzle like findaword,cross words or an actual piece-to-piece puzzle?

edit- sorry hadnt tagged you properly

@Meowmy @Serenity1 @outlander

Sometimes the strains in our relationships are to do with broader societal issues that either of th 2 people involved not doing enough.

Anyway, in my last counselling session the experienced counsellor wanted to tell me he saw the strain in my relationship with my son. As if neither of us knew and had both suffered deeply because of it!

Wishing you the best. I am over stretched atm and need to log off.

Take Care All
