The Pain, The Unrelenting Pain

[Awakening]

It never seems to end, I'm powerless over it. I feel like I'm trying so hard but always this intense emotional hurt pain is there ebbing and flowing, varying in intenstity but always chasing me.

When will I ever be free of it?

I am in a very, very similar place Awakening. I wish I knew when, or if, it would ever end. I read and think about what I should do, the things that allegedly "work", and I don't dispute them... and yet somehow they aren't ever enduring enough, aren't ever powerful enough, aren't ever rewarding enough to outscream the sound of pain and suffering in my head.

Maybe it's that there's never a reprieve, never a rest, never a moment of peace. Maybe that's what seems to torture my mind into defeat.

I'm sorry you are there too.

Maddog - you have expressed this better than I ever could. Thank you.

The things that I do to cope are never enough and they never last for long enough for me to feel that I have had a rest from them. The pain is relentless, no matter what I do to overcome it.
