Constant psychological pain

[Life interrupted]

Guys how do you deal with psychological pain? I can't go through the day. I just want to numb myself till July

I do not think there is any way to ease the pain of living. Life is only suffering after all, and there is no escape from it. I'm sorry that you are going through this, it must be so unbearable. I wish you the best.

I complain on the internet via reddit or here or wherever else. Does it help? lolnope.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I guess I vent. Not much else I can do. Like the other poster said, it doesn't help. Not in the long run. I'm positive that I will get to where I am trying to get. The venting is part of that. It's a brief reprieve from my own demons and that is all.

Distractions and staying busy, conversation, or sleep. Just finding ways to cope and filling up the time endlessly until I can hopefully sleep and be oblivious to it all for a few hours. I'm sorry you're struggling with this pain constantly. Best wishes whatever you do.

I hide and sleep

Distractions or I just suffer through it

I find that talking to someone can help at least temporarily sometimes. It can help to vent on here too. At least on here, everyone understands what you are going through because they are going through something similar, and you won't feel so alone.

Distractions and keeping busy also help a lot. Try to do something you enjoy even if it's only reading a good book to take your mind of things for awhile. It won't solve your problems, but at least it will make your day a little more bearable.

I found that the worse thing to do is to sit around and do nothing but stare at the walls all day - although sometimes I have been guilty of doing just this.

Its quite difficult--I'm always watching films or shows to try to keep my sanity, to try to keep my mind off her death--When I'm in the car, the talk radio instantly comes on--I don't want any silence at any time

I just wait until it will lift off a bit.
But it almost always there (

Same. Silence = instant panic. If I don't have YouTube, a podcast, or a movie playing at all times, I'm done for, the PTSD takes over instantly. I bring my phone everywhere I go, can't even use the bathroom without it. Absolutely must have a distraction at all times, otherwise I am not safe in my own brain. I hate it so much, it is an absolutely insane and miserable prison of a life. Total meditative silence in the forest used to be my happy place, and now I am a dysfunctional traumatized creature with bacteria that have infected my brain and taken it over.

Modern life is war.

I drink and take marijuana and stay glued to my phone. I don't know where all the pain comes from but it just comes and comes and comes like being waterboarded. Inside I am screaming all the time. I'm 61, so I guess it will never stop
