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.

@Meowmy I'm only just realizing that my attempts to be a good person and do the right thing by people has been allowing them to screw me over the whole time.

Re: The pain within

@Meowmy sorry for venting my frustrations. However i hope it gives you better insight into my feelings about story and situation... I'm just going to be focusing on week to week. Day to day. Moment to moment. And trying to minimize the stress.

From what i can tell. You're doing really well @Meowmy you're managing well and taking great care of yourself and your mum. You gotta take it for what it is. And be grateful, appreciate and thankful for all the good stuff, blessings and comforts...

When i become overwhelmed and stressed. Coping with everything gets ten times harder. There's no complete recovery or being totally over everything. Sometimes i go into a downward spiral.

@eudemonism @Shaz51 @outlander Hello everyone. Sorry I am not much use for now. I have been suffering severe anxiety last couple of days. @eudemonism Hope you feel better soon. Please take good care and not rush major decisions. I hope you find peace within yourself soon. Don’t dwell on the dark thoughts. They are not good for you. I am learning to dissociate myself from unwelcome thoughts/sources of anxiety. It is very hard. I have to battle on. I just wanted to say hello. Take care all.

Hi @Meowmy yea I'm constantly struggling with my illness/mental stuff... not sure what's real and what's not... not even sure if I'm getting better or worse...

Re: The pain within

@Meowmy regards anxiety... I've found with myself that everything can get overwhelming.... and EVERYTHING ' ain't about to go away... so I've found quiet time and meditating/resting/getting my thoughts straight/neutral helps... otherwise it just wrecks me big time..

@Meowmy you could say it's all apart of life... and normal in it's own right... not everyone can be rocket scientists... not everyone can be an astronaut... not everyone will climb mount Everest either...
