Giving Up

So sorry to hear about your situation. I know society is ruthless and unforgiving and makes it seem like there are no outs, you are stuck where you are and your "sins" of the past have condemned you to a hopeless situation now. People can be very narrow-minded, judgmental and cruel in this respect, without looking in the mirror at themselves. But pay them no attention, as they do not know what they are talking about and they are of a lower vibration anyway. You must listen to your inner being, who loves you unconditionally and is not even of this realm, but connected to higher ones and would not even agree with you that the situation is hopeless now. use meditation CDs to help to clam you down, and pray incessantly, for all good and bad in your life. All you need is one out, and you are on the right path! The only way to go now is up and it is right around the corner, no matter how bleak things may appear; as this is only an illusion anyway. If your inner being says it, it must be so, period. There are no time limitations with your inner being. So please, go on.

Hallo, Please see there is still much courage in you, you have been able to tell your situation openly, look at it straightly , you do have courage. So lets start with that quality. and it will open the door to many other qualities you do have. Now practise the gratitude for this quality of courage you do have. and it will open all the good that is in you as life is in you. Now look to all the responses of love you have received. and take gratitude for it, I am sure the strength of spirit will renew you. so dont look back. take a star in your mind as unic object for some moments and feel its energy given you all you need. we never have to give up when we are awakening from a nightmerry. Love for you.

Cuánto dolor ese muchacho! Respuesta directa y certeza de Deepak a una pregunta difícil. Love

if it was over for you you would have killed yourself already, so you have some hope in there and a connection to your soul. Do what Deepak says. I did; I was hopeless and I thought fundamentally "cracked" at my foundation, and I read his "spontaneous fulfillment of desire"; when i decided I was going to live and not die. I surrendered any attempt to control other people, TOOK control of my own self (my attitude, my soul, and hoped that would give rise to being able to control my circumstances) and it has worked. more quickly than you could know; it was like a lead blanket was thrown off me; just by desiring it.

Let me start by saying that the fact that you reached out to Deepak is a testament to your soul working on your behalf. That was a very brave thing and shows that your hopes and dreams are not long passed. Everything is happening now. In my times of great loss and suffering when I felt so hopeless I would bring myself back to this present moment and remind myself that I am a divine being with unlimited power to change my life. You can begin again in every moment, you are new in each and every second. You are a beautiful and divine creator. Please know this, close your eyes and tell yourself that you are love, and that you are loved. Every person that took the time to write a comment to you is sending you love. Please stay with us, this life is a beautiful journey that is meant to be full of peace, love and joy. You just have to remember who you are. Meditate. Start with something simple. There is a great meditation by Thich Nhat Hahn: Breath in: I calm my body Breath out: I smile (even if it feels fake do it, it works) Breath in: Dwelling in this moment Breath out: This is a wonderful moment Bring yourself back to this moment and start with baby steps. Start finding things that will remind you to come back to the present moment like a flower or something in nature. Remember that what you bring your attention will manifest in your reality, so pay attention to now, not the past. Visit your past when you need perspective, use your past to learn for those who do not learn from their past are doomed to repeat it as George Santayana so eloquently said. Blessings and Peace to you always in love and light. Namaste, Michelle D. Quadri

There is hope because you are still alive. Devote yourself to helping others and get out of your head.

Radical forgiveness can take you step by step to healing your heart, not only forgiving those who harmed you, but yourself as well for staying in the dark from seeing, hearing and smelling the goodness of life. Believe, that the present moment is your best friend and closest alley,so hang on to it and let the past and the future fly.

Meditation will help you understand that your suicidal thoughts come to your mind because.of frustrations....think about what is causing that frustration and keep busy trying to solve the problems you can solve, little by little. There are problems we cannot solve, leave those in God`s hands and pray with faith, remember, God has the power to solve any problem, but, not when you want, God knows when is the perfect time for that problem to be solved, if you think it is taking so long for the problem to be solved, it is because God wants you to be stronger, remember, what doesn`t`t kill you, makes you stronger!! Practice patience.....

The last lengthier comment resonates as well, except for the (condemnation) part....from Brigitte. Namaste ~

I have been there and I am learning to find Peace within myself and even humor by trying to turn off the Drama and thinking Happy Thoughts. Where there is a Will, There is a Way. We are Never Alone!

I believe we all have a life to live not die if your situation is bad change it. I just recently lost my job and moved in with my daughter. I am going to school. Look for a different life live a different life be who you always wanted to be I just got very tired of the way things were and felt it very strongly pretty soon it all changed. I lost a sister to suicide. I would not want that for your family to go through that. give up what you don`t want any more and look for something else. Knock Seek Ask go to every agency you can think of go to the school ask them what should I do I don`t have money I don`t have health I don`t have whatever it is there is help for you keep seeking keep asking make yourself as healthy as you can mostly relax don`t worry worry is a waste of our energy do all you can and there will be help for you.

Never give up. There is a tomorrow and there is an opportunity for things to change. Nothing ever stays the same. One of the constants in life is change. Don`t give up,don`t cave in, don`t quit. Speak positives, your words have power. The truth is that you have days, weeks, months and years to reverse things and work on your issues. We are all a work in progress and we all try to be better every day. You are not alone. There is hope.

Sunshine is just around the corner

My deepest sympathy for what you have been going through for so long. But I have found there is a limit to pain. The universal mind loves all of us, all of the time, and forever, regardless of our seemingly current state of being. It will hear you in your despair and reach out to you if you will accept its aid. I know this because it happened to me. I was in thereapy for six long years and made little progress that I could see. I had gained some understandings of many of my lifes confusing twists and turns, but was still afraid to make friends, be involved in a relationship, and had come to the point of wondering what was there after death and if I might be better off that way, and not in constant pain. This is when it happened. The most amazing set of occurances of my lifetime. Everything for me is pre and post these life altering events. I was answered, and the answer was that divine love is for all of us, healing is possible for everyone, miracles do occur. These loving forces are actually seeking to get through to us every minute of everyday. The story is long, but today I consider myself in "service to the universal mind, and to all my brothers and sisters. I am never alone, never without an awareness of the love that entered my life, and now feel so rich with it, and all the good it does. You have so much to give, and to share, because of your experiences. You could be so much assistance to others like yourself. For me nothing has been more rewarding as what I do now. Love and gratitude for this gift of life permeates each day, even each moment. I do not know if it is acceptable for me to post my e-mail here, but i will give it a try, as I am inviting you to corraspond with me on this matter. I would like to help, if I can. There is no fee, or anything to do or buy, just reaching out in friendship, one soul to another. My e-mail is positiveenergychange@hotmail.com....I also have a page where about 200 hundred people would send prayer/meditation/ loving thoughts of healing on your behalf. There is nothing wrong with seeking traditional thereapy, this is an offer of spirital support, alongside of traditional therapy, if you so choose. God/Source/ may have an intention for you as yet unknown by yourself. We cannot know, but I feel now that there was purpose behind all I had suffered, and I would do it all again, if it brought me to where I am now. In any moment of time, you can be at peace, knowing that you are a beloved child of God.

I am a certified holistic health care practitioner in the Oklahoma City metro area. I hold a master`s degree from Oklahoma State University. My specialty is in the field of energy medicine. I believe very much in a team approach, especially in you case. When one has suffered trauma after trauma, your vital energy and core energies can get depleted to the point that you become totally over whelmed, blocked and a deep depression can occur. By all means continue therapy, but do like Dr. Chopra recommends learn how to meditate. Learn the Grand Relaxation Technique as well as basic meditation. Also, find a homeopathic physician. He/she will take an extensive case history. They will give you cell salts,which will help to the healing process on all levels of consciousness--spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. Find a energy therapist to restore the energy flow in your chakras and body matrix. In mediation my guides taught me a new healing technique that I call Light Infusion Therapy. It involves doing a cellular release, a guided visualization, Reiki, shamanic healing and re-seeding of the core energies on ALL levels. It is like rebooting your computer when it locks up and nothing will work. I have had excellent results with my clients some of whom have suffered tremendous childhood and ritual abuse, violent attacks, even terminal cancers. Please seek a qualified energy therapist in your area to aid and assist you in your healing. If you choose this route of your own free will and cannot find anyone, you can write me at Barbara@eternalreflections.org. I will contact the professionals that I network with and we will find someone in your area who comes highly recommended and has the proper credentials. I wish you Divine Blessings and the very best. Alone we are often times helpless. But, with our higher self, Creator [however you see God] and the angels, we can and do accomplish anything ... even those things that have left a soul in our hearts and a tear upon our souls. Love, Barbara

Study spirituality and law of attraction stuff. Most therapists are bad and get you thinking and talking about what you don`t want or dredge up bad memories without coming to solutions. Someones energy vibration can change dramatically. When you`re depressed, your body slows down and that`s a bad energy. When you`re happy, that`s a high energy. That`s largely up to you. Josie, I`ve actualy talked to a lot of people before who probably have high energy levels but they`re pompous idiots and don`t know what they`re talking about. I`m not sure how someones energy vibrations correlates /w good or bad advice. Good luck /w your condition.

Change you medication. The alternative you decide, There is a supreme force out there and its all good!!!!. Connect and follow the light always. Think in good things. I hope it contribute for your stability. Have a great afternoon :) Marina from PR

Meditation could become our best friend; best self-help tool. Therapy might be useful, but it is important to realize you are dependent on another individual with potential human flaws such is the therapist. It requires more effort, self-discipline and patience on our part to develop a regular meditation practice, yet it provides us with the most rewarding results towards our self-healing, and more importantly, empowering us to meet life challenges and getting to know our true selves, beyond our fears and personal limitations. If you don`t know how or where to start with seated meditation, any hatha yoga asana (doing various yoga poses)- moving meditation practice - could lead you towards more inner stillness and peace, thus meditation. Please don`t give up. Your life and YOU are precious.

It is all done before,and better.But try not to lose your voice.

Hey, I read your input today and must say that I identified with much of what you describe. I have also suffered trauma and I have had my future stolen from me more than once. I am what I like to call a suicide escapee. I considered cutting my veins for a long time; still don´t know why I didn´t do it back then. Now, it´s a misconception, in my opinion, that suicide people seek death, that they want to die. It is to live that we want and we want it so badly and so hopelessly that we are prepared to take any step, to go to any length to achieve it. We want to shake off this existence, which no longer provides any life; we want to lose the body and the trauma, which we connect with it. As I thought about it back then, however, I somehow felt that, if/when I did this, my spirit would wander off to whoever sent me to live this life. I would receive eternal comfort and reassurance and then I would be sent back- to live the same life all over again. The reason for this is, I believe, that this life, mine, yours, anybody`s, contains the challenges that a being higher than us wants us to meet and to master. Now, this being can`t have sent us unequipped for the challenge... All we have to do is believe in our own power and take thing as they come. Also take things day by day. And, very importantly, be Good to ourselves. In addition to the therapy, I suggest, therefore, that you find something that inspires you, or that has inspired you as a child. We all have something, which at one point or another, has inspired us. And no matter how foolish this thing is or seems to be, do it with all of your heart and with all of your power. Invest your time and yourself in the process. When you succeed, the effect can be transformational. Finally, find what makes you laugh. You want to laugh a laugh so powerful it shakes the universe. You can´t imagine the liberating effects a Laugh like this can have. And believe that people are good. There are many people who seem callous and uncaring but this is just their own trauma they mask... There are many good, enlightened, inspired, powerful people who care. And they are out there for you and me to go and find. It does´t take too much to do so. We tend to give up, or to want to give up, just when salvation is within reach. This is a fact of psychology. So the very fact that you are considering giving up now, has in this context a significance. As to intimate relationships, in the words of Henry James, you must´t lose it all simply because you have lost a part. So You might be surprised. The same is true about all aspects of life. "There is a life before death". So I hope you venture it, I know it is worth it. Love Julia

You are loved

you were meant to be with us, so keep your head up! we are all collective praying for you!

Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said, to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. so is my advice to you Rise,take up your bed and walk. Jesus asked him to rise, he meant he could stand if not run and when you stand your perspective to life too changes with the altitude. Jesus said pick up your bed because from 38 years he had been lying sick on his same bed waiting and watching others get healed or free of disease, it had become his home from 38 years i.e. a home of sickness, frustration, anguish. god wanted him not to return back to it again, so he asked him to pick it. Jesus asked the crippled man to walk, he didn`t ask him to run or jump or take a leap. He asked to take a step and another, that`s all a walk takes, its your willingness to take a step towards change. and the man was healed. so rise, take your bed and walk towards change never to return back to sickness again. god bless all. praise the lord. amen!

Correction on post:Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing(EMDR)Apologies. Donna~

Your soul remains in tact as it is not possible to damage the soul, your healing lies within you. It always has and it always will. You have already endured so much, don`t give up here. Help is always close at hand. I love The Work of Byron Katie. http://thework.com. All emotional suffering is caused by our thoughts and our attachment to them. Katie has developed an extraordinarily simple system of questioning your thoughts to help you see the truth behind your suffering and let it go. It`s profound and powerful. I also love and use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) every day. It has transformed my life in countless ways and continues to free me from the suffering of the human condition moment by precious moment. You have so much to offer the world by being here. God doesn`t make mistakes. Much love and blessings to you precious soul.

there is nothing `wrong` with suicide, it`s just not necessary and potentially won`t quell your pain. You are a BIG SPIRIT,don`t be fooled by your body and your feelings...

Know that your writing to express such a deep concern about your life is huge! The fact that you took the time to ask what else can you do or not do to find that place of security, understanding & resolve. I commend you, for you most definitely are worthy of life! One thing I believe is; Life challenges those most who are in a much elevated spiritual level. Don`t allow negative thoughts or people that aren`t supportive to bring you down. Pray that the white light will heal you, as your words have power. And I will pray you receive the blessing of healing....God bless you stranger, I know you`ll be fine, you have many of us thinking and wanting this for you.

Never give up. Whatever happened in your past is in the past don`t let it define who you are. I have been where you are sitting in my car with the door closed the windows open and the car running. It will not end your pain you will have to come back and deal with everything in the next life. Like someone else said re-frame your life. You are not your past you are the perfect you God created. There are many who love you and will be in pain if you go. Some have never met you yet. Don`t take away the joy you could bring to someones life just by you being alive. God loves you unconditionally. Tapping is a wonderful tool to get you through the rough patches, meditation can get you to the core of who you really are and you really are a wonderful being. Clouds of the past are in the way distorting your view. Tragedy is just a way of showing us how strong we are. You are a wonderful being, just believe it until you can see it in yourself. Love and Light

I can`t identify with the level of suffering in this post. I have never been to a therapist. That is not to say that that I may have benefited greatly form the experience. I have had to deal with financial setbacks and that has brought some humility.I do not drink alcohol or use any drugs. On the way to the YMCA today I thought about how each of us is a impacted by the individuals we encounter. We become the person that is comprised of these encounters. Some encounters can have life long negative impact. If we let them. I have found that a few deep breaths can reduce the tension. It is free and available at any time. Proust said that we are each of is alone. This is true but we are also all connected..this is not so obvious. Also no one that is loved can destroy themselves. Know that you are loved. And that in spite of the physical experience of loneliness, you are truly not alone. You have Deepak and all of Us!!

Dearest you, oh, how i recognize what you describe. Seek shadow work. A Jungian therapist in voice- or expressive art and/or Debbie Fords work. You will find the light IN the dark in time. The deeper dark/pain the brighter light, and you can find your life purpose by being that light to others. Just by being in all that darkness - you are already well on your way. Most people is not even able to feel the pain - and that way cannot heal. Just see here how many people that respond/identify with you. Sending you love with these words: in dark black night on a black stone a black ant God sees it

first of all, I agree with one of the last posters, you must find a new therapist immediately. There is no time limit to peace. God is your salvation. Go to Him with all things. Do not forsake him or second guess his path for you, only Keep the faith because you can do this. Suicide is not the answer. You might think it will quiet the voices, but i cannot believe that is true. God Listens. AND he loves you.

Look for a different approach to healing: http://www.squidoo.com/Family-Constellation-Therapy Bert Hellinger

aside from following Deepak`s guidance, i highly recommend watching "The Power of Vulnerability" by Brene Brown. that video is a game changing, life saving TED talk and well worth the viewing. you are worth love and acceptance. now. right now. not when you lose 20 pounds, not when you find someone who loves you, not when, but now. you are worth the love and acceptance of others, but more importantly, the love and acceptance of yourself. i hope you find contentment and ongoing sustainable resolution to your troubles.

Could it be that the reason our sharing is sometimes not received or impacting is due to the fact that we are speaking that which we ourselves have not touched, heard, or seen? Could it be that the reason we have not touched, heard, or seen is because we have not been in solitude? And could it be that we have not been in solitude because we have not desired to pay the price of silence? ‘Learn to be quiet,’ said Paul (I Thessalonians 4:11). ‘Let every man be quick to hear and slow to speak,’ James echoes (1:19).

I suspect that I have felt that same way innumerable times, and sometimes considered your solution. Each time, I have been confronted with a fundamental moral prohibition against destroying that which is not mine to destroy. And each time, I have later found a sense of self-worth, even if fleeting, that made me grateful that I did not rush a process that will occur naturally. Just the search for a therapist is evidence of your hope. The plant may whither, but only the part you can see. I wish endurance, patience and love for you.

Download Deepak`s affirmations, look up Enza Currenti on youtube (she is amazing) to try and change your mind set and meditate as often as you can. I have been where you are and struggle every day but with new coping skills and a very good Buddhist Centre I am taking small steps to change my life. I love your soul and hope you find a way. Namaste

If you can imagine, for even a second, for just a glimmer, what you would feel like without your pain, in a place of light and peace, then you are already there. Even if it is for a fraction of a second, then you are in the place of your highest being, a place where the healing has already happened. Close your eyes and feel that feeling. At a stop light, in line, anywhere, just feel that feeling. The more you do that, the longer those moments will last. In those moments you connect with your highest being. And your highest being is limitless and timeless. And know that even if you are standing an an open field with no one around for miles, you are never alone. Your highest being is always with you, always with love. You are never alone. And wherever you are in the world, I`m thinking of you and send you love. Know that there is someone out there sending you light and love.

DO NOT GIVE UP, THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE. IT IS IN YOU AND IT IS WAITING FOR YOU. YOU ARE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Go to therapy, find out what your internal dialogues are; once you know what`s on your shadow, you can work with it by replacing its content with positive affirmations. Repeat them in from of a mirror, when you wake up and when you go to bed. Be patient with yourself, try to forgive yourself and your past. Remember we are all here to learn, it`s never too late, that`s why you`re still living!!! Good luck!!! You have my support! :)

As `Norman Vincent Peale` teaches, you are what you think about all day long. Change what you think about & you will change yourself. http://www.markvictorhansen.com/strangest_secret.php, There is a message on this site called the `Strangest Secret`. Please listen, it will help you

Sounds like a rough place you are in.... I`m deeply sorry for how you feel,but your thoughts are not who you REALLY are. Your thoughts come from the EGO, and as Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, the EGO stands for (Edging God Out),but the truth of the matter is that Source/God created each one of us, and God does not make mistakes! Because we all are connected, vibrationally, means we are therefore a part of source too. Deepak teaches that our soul is somewhere between where you stand and the thing that you are looking at. Be the observer of your behavior. When you spend time being the observer,it is there that you can help yourself. Picture yourself as a young child......now be the parent. Take care of that child. I have a feeling that if you took care of that child, it would grow up to be the most LOVING, most COMPASSIONATE, most EMPATHETIC, kindest person that everyone seeks to have in their live`s. When you look at the child within, you will see the value of who you really are! God Bless You!!!

My dear friend, what stops you taking the bull by the horns and saying yes to life no matter what the circumstances are. How can you help others by helping yourself? I am a big believer in working with everything that comes our way. Could there be a bigger meaning in any of your experiences? Focus on one thing in your life right now, that you can be grateful for. Find that one person or anything in yourself, something in your surrounding, an object you can appreciate and start feeling appreciative for. Life is what we make of it and just think of all the learnings you can pass on having come out of your situation looking back at it. Have you heard of an Australian Technique, the Bowen Technique? A very gentle healing modality that that helps the body to re-activate its healing power, physically, mentally. Give it a go - you can do that. If one things doesn`t work you choose the next because you can. Trust, you are not on your own.

The wonder of synchronicity brought me to this page... I know this feeling of giving up so well, it can become a monotonous incessant voice never letting up for a moment. In all the years I devoted myself to this work I have often seen people in this place. Maybe too because it is my mirror. Some of us are here not for healing our past but to simply learn the life lesson of perseverance and tenacity. The stronger you become in facing this feeling of wanting to leave, the more your life blossoms as a source of great strength for others.... Just look at your self for a moment and realize how amazingly powerful you truly are... that is is why there is a vested interest in thoughts of "wanting to leave" finding you all the time. These thoughs are happening to you....most of it is not even your thoughts. Remember what Deepak teaches...we have on average 60 000 thoughs a day of which 55 000 are repeated? ( written with poetic lisence Deepak!) Become the Master in your thought realm, you choose what works for you and chuck the rest - and be ruthless - discard and throw out that which does not serve you...like you would do with garbage!! You are a beautiful amazing being and your life is needed here in the greater scheme of things... Be gentle with yourself, you deserve to be loved!

After reading your Conumdrum I realized the cliche` Always one that has it worse off then you! Counseling works,then One must let the seeds of counseling grow. During this time seclusion is not best so take walks eat foods that contain Life Force and again you will be reborn like a Wild flower not seen since the last Forest Fire!Hope comes from knowing that there is a pre destined reason for our journey on Earth.Grasp the brass ring and hang on for dear LIFE!

I just wanted to say I felt this despair and pain. But it must be remembered that all things shall pass... nothing lasts forever - not even suffering.

The universe is not a judgmental being. It loves you more than you can ever imagine. The realm we are currently in is a very difficult density. As someone mentioned society can be ruthless, however they should not be the determining factor in your love and your belief in yourself. Seek strength from within. Seek love from within. Meditate and connect with your higher self, connected to the one infinite creator. One of the hardest things we all have to learn in this realm is LOVE. Our biggest lesson is REALIZING the moment contains love. We are here to fulfill a purpose, and your biggest purpose here might be that of LOVING yourself unconditionally, even with all the distractions and distortions of this realm, the ruthlessness of society, the deep pain. When you learn to LOVE yourself you will be in harmony with our one infinite creator. I am not sure if you have ever heard that we are all one. And when you are against anything in its creation (not loving it), you are not in harmony with the one infinite creator. In this instance it is not LOVING yourself that may also be adding to the imbalance. Love yourself and believe in your mighty strength to overcome anything. I agree that there is no shelf life for healing. It is not that it passed, somehow it seemed that there was a more ideal moment, or synergy in your life for healing, perhaps more positive energy and love had a flow or a current where healing seemed easier and a more viable possibility. What if you were to take baby steps to open windows that have resemblance to a time where healing seemed easier? I know it is easier said than done, but definitely worth a try. You are an extension of the universe, the one infinite creator. See the beauty in the creation of being you. See the perfection. Be kind to yourself. Don`t judge yourself forgive yourself and forgive others who might have contributed to your traumatic lessons. They are also working through difficult lessons. How people have treated you is their karma, how you react to it is yours. I once heard a quote which made me laugh and which helps me re-focus. Holding a grudge, is like letting someone live in your head/ heart without paying rent. Release them, so that you may allow beautiful things to live in you in their place. "You are the master of your fate, you are the captain of your soul." Dont give up, dont lose sight of the endless love and possibilities that lie in the vastness and infinity of the universe, but instead embrace the concept, reach out, and you will see how the universe starts reaching back, showering you with it`s magnificent love, it has always wanted you to have. All my love, Namaste, Isis

This pain of yours is a great opportunity for you to awaken. This is the time to break free from your past conditioning and blossom.

God intended All All is God All have a story A story unique in it`s own Trust and be Free Deepak has said many times, the core of who you truly are, is The Universe. You can not find yourself separate from it, for if you do, you will be the victim of needless suffering. Rejoin with the Source, and find that Love is all around you. The trick is, it`s YOUR choice to see it or not.

I don`t know about `traumatic stress` but I do know what it`s like to be unable to make decisions for myself, to be unable to sleep for years - awake every night, and when I was just dozing off..my brain would kick-in with a jerk, and I would jump! My chest would hurt, there would be noises in my ears very much like the noise of a truck`s engine running continueously. I was a complete wreck. I never thought I would ever get better..but I did. Change your life, change everything, change `you` into someone you`d like to be. At the beginning you can`t think straight not to mention get your head around `doing anything` . Think nice things, and if you`re stopped by bad thoughts..start again, think soft, listen to light music - like the harp. You`ll see things differently when you go into the `changing` mode, o.k you won`t feel like yourself, it will feel strange ..but then you`ve not been yourself for some time anyway..so give it a try: Change the way you dress, your hair, get different coloured eye lenses (if you wear glasses) or not. change into someone else, try to enjoy the transformation. Do things that you wouldn`t normally do. get out of the house- walking..enjoy listening to the noises around you like the buzzing of bees and the singing of birds, try to imagine what type of birds they are. Notice nature, there is nothing like nature to bring us peace of mind. You Can do it! peace & light.

I had tried suicide 4 times in my life. I am bipolar. I discovered that it`s an option but not a solution as I had thought. I discovered that behind the suicide scene, there is a need to kill the old self, the let new self rise up. And this need is not physical but mental, it comes from heart, from the Soul. Everyday is a day to figure out that you`re dying and rising again, as a Fenix. Those ones who try suicide live the Myth of Rebirth, as Odin, Dionisio, Persephone and Jesus, as archetypes. It doesn`t need to be physical. To die hurts like live. If I have to die, I need to live as well to have good things to leave behind me. Dying hurts like live. Why do I have to die before living my personal healing? And if I try, just one time, to see what is behind Life? What will I find? This thinking way helped me to be strong to See that I was trying to live and to rise, not to die. I want to live physically and emotionally to see the miracle I am.

Been there done that! Reading books on self help/spiritual books was the key for me! Letting go of the past/ego is a beginning...no longer victim...victory is the key! Sending you healing vibrations...good cheer!!

there are so many types of suffering but, i think the worst type is the suffering our minds needlessly create. awareness and acceptance that there is suffering is the beginning of healing.i pray this person finds the help he/she needs...

The fact that this person already has the awareness that they want this healing to happen is a huge step and I hope they see this! You`ve already taken the first step on your path to healing...and there`s no reason to stop now
