Empathy Only Hanging by an emotional thread

I’m bothered that you say being bisexual was a part of your trauma. But I respect that it was your personal experience.

It was supposed to say, NOT saying this is a trauma. Sorry typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ah okay! I am very triggered tonight, so I’m taking things more personally than I should..

Death is only scary if the sense that it ends any chance for healing, hope, and change. Every trauma you’ve experienced can be healed. This is from my experience. I’ve been used and abused by people I trusted, not sexually by my parents, but others. I used to suffer just like you. I’ve even lived as a bisexual for a good portion of my life, not saying this is a trauma, but an experience. Physical death isn’t the answer. Change requires living. Peace can be attained other ways.

This is how it was meant to be read.

I get what you mean. I personally disagree. There are many things in my life that will never be healed.

It’s ok. I am the last person to judge anyone. I’ve pretty much done it all in my short life of thirty eight years. At least I feel like it.

In all honesty, I may end up drunk again tonight and hurting myself. I appreciate that you commented. To me, it’s a better plan than trying to kill myself

I hate to sound like a cliche, but my faith helped me with all of my suffering. Not preaching here. I’m just explaining. I learned a lot, and I am able to forgive what was done to me. This is how I healed.

I respect that. I was traumatized by religion and it personally has not helped me at all. I am agnostic. I believe in a higher power. Just wish that higher power also believed in me

Definitely not looking for a spiritual or religious conversation... as I said, religion was used as a weapon against me and I personally don’t identify with it.

I don’t understand why you feel the need to hurt yourself. Is it to feel in control? Is it because you feel as though you should be punished?

I can respect that. Many are abused by those who claim to be religious.

It is more so to feel in control than punishment. It’s the only thing in my life that I can physically touch and do something about

I completely understand that you found healing in your faith and I think that is great!

That’s why I used to self harm, that and so I can feel alive because I felt dead inside.

Yes. 100% yes. Spot on... I have struggled with it since I was 15 and it’s the worst when my life is going to shit... I have never caught a break in life

Thank you! That means a lot to me. I was in a bad place for so long. It feels good to be free. I wrote my experiences in a free ebook. If you ever get bored. The first chapter just explains what my life was like. Past that it gets religious. If you ever get bored check it out, or not. I’m here if you wanna chat. I need to get to bed though. Work work work. It’s nice to meet you, wish it was under better circumstances. Please be safe in your plans tonight.

Thank you for the suggestion. I may check it out sometime, but not sure when because religion is a big trigger for me, as I mentioned... I wish I could get to sleep. I’ve been at work for 16 hours. Rest well

I hope you get some sleep too. That’s a long work day. My other book is a poem book. Not sure how you feel about those.

I sure hope I can sleep... haven’t slept right in a while. And I enjoy poetry

Sorry that you're having trouble sleeping. Do you want some suggestions about how to treat insomnia?

I hope things can get better soon
