What Can One Do When Life Wont Stop Pouring Down Trauma Upon You Long Enough To Get Through The Last Storm?

27 Replies

I know that everyone here has a story of their own. Everyone here has their own pain and their own struggles to face. I know that each and every one of you is worth the time to hear out and to encourage because we ALL have worth. All our struggles are valid and ALL of us are deserving of compassion. I know that at times we can get so wrapped up in our own pain the pain of others is drowned out but I also believe it is in sharing and caring for one another as fellow human beings helps with the healing process. I feel like one of those stretchy dolls that is being over stretched to the point of just falling to pieces. Has anyone felt like the torrential down pour of life never stops? Like is there a damn quota that just naturally gets met. The universe says hey this one has had enough let the sun rise, give them a break and let them dry off.

Yes on being crushed to dust. I hope your world gets better. Thank you for the meaningful words. I really need them tonight. Hugs! ❤

Its so tough to face the trials of life and then to feel alone or be alone just makes it so much harder. The older we get the more drained we become if things don't take a change for the better. Or worse its like a roller coaster which can take the very fight right out of us. You are not alone in this world ...... not in the sense of pushing through personal pain. I hear you. I am sending love and hugs your way. Everyone needs to be heard and everyone deserves the chance to heal!

Very true. We all seem to care here though and feel the pain and struggle of life and we can share those here to help one another

in reply to Tsmtam123

Like minded people can reach each other even in the darkest of places. I think that is how the hell on earth that can be the truth for so many of us can also be the place we reach out and say. hey I hear you. I get it. I care how you feel and I believe you have worth and what youre facing right now matters. Even when I cant believe it for myself i can believe it for you

I feel like that ALL the Time, when anything good happens I’m afraid to enjoy it for fear that something Bad coming ?

in reply to Want2BHappy3

Right!? I so get that!! It is hard to let the "brace yourself" shut off when Life keeps giving you reasons to brace for impact or dragging yourself up when it comes out of no where

I TOTALLY understand. I keep saying "does it ever end?" The only good thing seems to be when littler things go wrong, I'm like "oh well" and don't freak out as much.

Life hurts. Loss hurts. Sometimes Breathing for me hurts.

Yes it seems to never stop. The weight of life is oppressive and sad for me. I do feel like I’m broken. I find that others who are also broken have the sensitive soul to listen.

in reply to Iammesues

Yes I agree often those who have suffered greatly can have great compassion on others suffering due to the understanding you gain form your own trials. My heart goes out to you for I know the feeling of being broken, for me its more crushed to dust. I do believe there is a path to healing, its just its such a struggle to find that path and navigate it to where it works for you. What works for one will not always work for another.

Do you really think there’s a path to healing? How do you think a person finds their path?

in reply to Iammesues

Yes I do believe that healing is possible. The depth and scope may differ from person to person due to a plethora of reasons but healing is attainable. The path to healing is going to vary due to another host of reasons. Trial and error and never giving up. And more patience then many of is believe we have. It is a battle for most, I know cause I'm in the fight right now along with each of you. Also its usually not one path but many paths we must treck to get to where we hope to be.

Ugg! The saying when it rains it pours is so right on the mark! One day, one breath at a time!

Have faith. There is hope for a better future always. And yes Im going thru it right now. When it rains it pours but everyday the sun rises giving us a new 24 hrs to change our lives for the better. Im going through a VERY hard time right now and writing this is helping me process and understand just how strong I really am. That strength keeps me on the right course. Perserverence is key. Even if it gets really hard and another bad thing happens, dont ever give up or turn the hopelessness into negative thoughts about yourself. We are only human. Life was never made to be perfect. We all have our struggles; a mental illness or not. We ALL have our struggles. We r only human afterall!!! Keep on course and have faith! Better days r coming and if u still are in the dumps you'll miss the wonderful things the universe has in store for you for the better!!! Chin up. This too shall pass!

Some humans are not built with the strength to persevere through all the pain. We curl up in a ball and cry and can’t stop. We shut down and can barely find words to speak to others

Not true. Everyone has a free will. If theres a will theres a way. If u continue to think that way you will continue to act that way.

Whether you think you can or you think you cant you're right- Henry Ford.
