Re: Deep emotional pains
Yes... deep emotional pain is something i can relate to... a sense of helplessness... a sense of something being wrong... a sense of needing comfort and sympathy... a sense of desperately searching but finding nothing...

Re: Deep emotional pains
@eudemonism @MDT @CheerBear @Shaz51 I contacted the boy who I was close to at Uni ,almost married him, then was made apart by my father. He was initially warm, then didn’t reply when I texted him to get together with other Uni friends. He is now married with children.
I feel sharp pain. I feel very empty. I feel extremely sad. I can’t see meaning in anything. Hope these feelings will pass. Hope I will find meaningful living now my father is dead and I am in my fifties already.
Thanks for support. It really is important.

Re: Deep emotional pains
Deep pain from the past, memories and suppressed things are always tough. Last week at my temp job I all of a sudden remembered a time when I was in high school and someone got annoyed at me because I wasn't rolling up electrical cords properly. The reason I remembered is because of the task I was doing on the day - the exact same thing. This memory was from over 6 years ago. Weird how that happens.
It's not deep or afflicting, but it's the best example of something that I thought I moved on from and forgot.
Take it easy on yourselves please.
I sometimes think that the best way we can be kinder to ourselves is just accepting what is. I'm not sure what to say though
Hey @outlander how's it going?

Re: Deep emotional pains
Thanks for care. It’s so helpful. This separation from my Uni friends and the boy I was close to, was exactly when my mental illness started. My father became more controlling than ever, I probably was getting unwell as well, so I was swept away from the normal lives and my friends.
That took twenty five years.
I feel I have to deal with this loss, so the powerful emotions and distress don’t take me to psychosis and hospitals again.
The boy I was close to,even though caring, kind and gentle, he may had found me too smart that he wanted a more traditional woman as wife.
It is very painful at the moment. But I hope going through this will prevent unpredictable bouts of severe anxiety and depression in the future.
Thanks guys, you are so good.

Re: Deep emotional pains
do you think it might be worth chatting to a psych about how these feelings are affecting you at all or help prevent you to getting to that point you were before?
