pain

I hear kids complaining and whining all the time about nothing and I always resent them. I'm just sitting here, doleful and world-weary in my bedroom alone, if I was a child and I felt like I do now, I would be crying like someone was trying to gut me with a butcher's knife and running to my mum...

i am sorry if this isn't the best place to try and post this, i felt the grief section was more for those who lost someone to suicide mainly, not so much natural/medical causes, iwanted to try and respect that space. i did not want to risk posting this there and upsetting anyone with posting it...

No doubt you’ve heard about the “Opioid Epidemic” and how it’s killing people. There’s no doubt that there are people who abuse opioids, but as someone who has had chronic back pain for 13 years, there are 5 things I want you to keep in mind before you retweet the latest article about this new...

I don't really believe in a specific religion or really even believe in God. I do believe in demons/ghosts/whatever they are from my own experiences though. I don't know if they are just a different species but sometimes I worry that they're the energy of a person who has passed. And that makes...

I've been through some hard shit in this year. Since New Years Eve I've been feeling completely down and felt like something really bad was about to happen. And it did, several times. My educational life, which was pretty much all that I had, has completely and absolutely collapsed, all the way...

I’ve had CFS/ME ~30 years, which is progressive neurological illness and can cause one to be slowed or bedridden. It’s relatively obscure, about 10 million cases worldwide. Last month I got 2 new diagnoses which may or not be related but are also neurological. One is peripheral neuropathy in...

I am afraid my life has no purpose. I don't think I'll ever get a job. I don't think I'll ever be loved my a woman, and I won't get to love a woman. I feel empty. I need kisses and hugs but women will never love me. I am too useless and immature and pathetic. I don't even enjoy reading...

So I've recently started writing whatever comes to my mind when I'm feeling more anxious and depressed as a way to calm me down and help me relax. I'll just share something I just now finished writing as I think it can help anyone struggling right now. Much love everyone, hugs. -Be Thankful...

Sorry for my bad english. I am a 23 year old boy who have had suicidal thoughts for about 6 months now. I have always had low self esteem, but it have just gotten worse and worse the last couple of years, because of some bad choices i have made. It started 3-4 years ago where i would go on...

I don't get along well with my family. My entire life I felt like they hated me. They have stopped and became "supportive", stopped the abuse (specially physical) bad everything. But they never noticed I was depressed, they ignored all of my mental health issues and have always put me as lazy...

I was recovering but I noticed that 2017 has been a whole down year. I went spiraling back again to my worst of moments and lately it has reached again the peak that leads to the end. But the end is now a problem that it wasn't before: I used to be alone, but while I was recovering, I had to...

Hi everyone hope your doing well. I'm not today. Everyone says its ok to go through the motions of depression but I hate it. I hate living with this parasite that takes over my brain. I try my hardest to be a good hearted person to put others before myself but why is it no one would ever do what...

Does the pain of rape or sexual abuse ever go away? Lately I have been triggered so easily. I saw something in a show about a man beating up a woman and it immediately gave me flashbacks to when that happened to me.. now I've been reliving that anguish and I am trying to stop but I can't. I've...

I found this video on Youtube of a guy who talks about his experience with Fibromyalgia and it really just does all the talking for me.. I relate a lot to what he says. I am frustrated with everything. And I wish I could do so much more. I'm tired of the stigma. I'm tired of hiding my pain. Some...

How can I start this? I am feeling a bit close to the edge this week. I won't go over that edge, but I do feel a bit nearer to it. I have been quite tired this week, partially due to my schedule going early then late, etc. The other part is that my emotions are rather cyclical this week as well...

I'm a 19 y/o girl. I've been feeling very suicidal lately, and last Friday (so two days ago) I made an attempt. I'm inpatient at a psychiatric ward right now, but I think they'll let me out tomorrow. My eating disorder is getting worse and I don't see myself recovering, I can see everything...

For whatever reason sometimes it feels nice to share thoughts with strangers so I felt like sharing... Here's something I just wrote out: People are quick to let you know, they know how you feel But they don't Do you know how it feels to live the worst day of your life over and over? Do you...

In order to really get the full meaning here Im gonna have to back it up a bit, but trust me, ill get there quickly. If there is one drive that makes humanity what it is, it is the craving for more, we want more money, tastier food, faster cars, bigger homes, better tech, and this is because we...

So I'm going into self destruct mode. Things are bad with family college and friends. I'm not working, I have no motivation and this is my final year before I go to uni. I'm constantly arguing with my family. And I'm sleeping with loads of boys. I hurt someone I really care about by sleeping...

What do you guys do when you have low moments? I'm feeling incredibly low tonight, in pain, tired but can't sleep and just feel alone. My hubby is on shift till 1 am tobight then on brekkie shift and I will be in work before he gets back so I won't see him until Saturday now. This month has...
