Nobody every teaches us about emotion.. the feeling, the darker corners of our minds that effects each of us in different ways. They never tell us that sometimes pain is something you can never come back from. I'm not talking about the physical pain, im talking about the kind of pain that reaches through your skin and tears apart the special pieces inside us that makes us who we are. Life shattering changes that make your mind wonder so far that you forget who you are, who you use to be then eventually you realise you never knew who you were.. you were lost all along.

I never thought about this. You’re completely right. Pain effects so much of us yet no one wants to talk about it. Hopefully that all changes.

I think the reason we don't share our pain with others is because to us its a deeply personal matter, we can't always find the right words to express how we feel and for that reason its usually shrugged off by the people we confide in often leaving us feeling even more lost and alone.

You’re giving me the chills! Haha. You are so insightful. I’m glad you’ve decided to join this forum.

Lol I've been dealing with this for a long time. I'm apart of a family that frowns upon weakness, youre suppose to be strong and if you have a problem then you need to man up. There's no such thing as compassion and understanding in my family so I've had to learn to deal with things in my own head separate from the rest of my thoughts, its hard.. i cant catch my breath and I constantly feel like im drowning. I've been through a great deal of pain which has made me more understanding so if i can help someone else then inside I might not feel so totally useless.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that. You should be able to depend on your family for anything and everything. I hope you are able to find a family among us here at HU. To me you are very useful!💕

You are hitting the nail on the head in your post. If I could control my over active emotions, I don't think I would be depressed or anxious. I have lost through death most of those who gave me emotional strength. My closest and older loved ones are all gone and I still miss them badly every day. I seem to need my mother and father more now than I did when I was younger. My grief has not abated even after what seems like a lifetime.

I understand that pain ive lost too and losing someone so precious to you can be extremely difficult to cope with. I do believe that ifi was taught how to control my emotions it wouldn't hurt so bad everyday but I guess they can't everyone feels pain a different way and what works for one may not work for the rest. Always here if u need a chat.
