Is never going to heal. It's never going to feel the same ever again in my life. I've tried, I've really tried. I can't find my soul, I can't find my inner self. There is nothing left of me. I can't find me anymore. God, I can't find me anymore. Why is that? What did I do to deserve this?

It's inside me, my soul. It's inside me but I can't find it. I can't get my self back. I can't find me. What have they done to me. What have i allowed them to do. I gave too much, I felt too much, I wanted too much. I needed too much. and this is my punishment.......this is the reason I lost him. I needed too much.

Maybe it's not the soul you need to find, but the ego you need to lose!!

Impermanence, AdaGrace is in bad shape right now and needs support. In my heart I do not feel that your post was supportive to her. I do not understand.

Adagrace
I'm sorry that I don't know what you've been through to bring you to this point but I've felt the same way as you have before. It is a horrible place to be. You haven't done anything to deserve this emotional pain. I used to think the same thing as you. As hard as it is to believe this right now, and I know you won't, it will get better. I know you don't believe me because when others said that to me when I was where you are, I didn't believe it either because I couldn't feel it. I felt too low with absolutely no hope whatsoever. But AG it will get better, maybe not tomorrow, next week, next month but slowly but surely you will rise out from that black hole that you are residing in bit by bit. It will take very little baby steps and you will begin to see the flicker of light at the end of that tunnel that you can't see right now and when you see that very small flicker of light, you'll begin to feel a little better. With continued baby steps the light will get brighter and brighter till you find your way again. Believe me, I never thought I would make it out again, it seemed so infeasible to me but I did and you will too. I promise you. You just have to hang on girl. Keep talking. Tell us how you feel and we will help you all that we can. You can do it. It's not hopeless. I know it looks that way, but it's not. I'm living proof of that. I know how truly horrible you are feeling now and I wish I could reach my hand out to yours and pull you out of that hole right now but we both know it's not that easy. Do you have a therapist and a pdoc. Be sure to tell them exactly how you are feeling. They can both help you to find that small flicker of light and we here at PB will also help you. Don't be afraid to ask for help. You will make it. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Adagrace}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Another AG who cares very much!

Please be more supportive to someone who is in such terrible pain.

I was being supportive, I was speaking from a spiritual prospective, I was not suggesting that Adagrace was being selfish. The ego is something every one of us carries around, it is an illusion and the cause of all our misery. When you see through the ego you find your true self, your soul, hence "Maybe it's not the soul you need to find, but the ego you need to lose".
Please read the following link for a better understanding of what the ego is:

"Awareness - Anthony De Mello" A spiritual classic.My apologies for the misunderstanding, my intentions where to enlighten not offend.

Reading it as you have written above is far more descriptive and indeed makes sense. It does not appear to unsupportive. Thank you for clarifying.

An ex-friend used to talk to me about my ego and I would get upset with her because with having virtually no self-esteem I thought she was way off base with me because she never explained it as your link did. She only made the comment to me as you did to Adagrace. Thanks for giving the link to clear this up. I'm sorry I misunderstood your intent. Please accept my apology.
