I am here because no one in my real world can comprehend my pain, there's no one really to talk to about it and babble seems like a place I can put it and see the words:
I AM IN TREMENDOUS PAIN.
I AM IN TREMENDOUS PAIN.
I AM IN TREMENDOUS PAIN.
Maybe that will help it seem more real and not just something I imagine or that is intangible.I don't know how to explain it other than to say that if mental/emotional anguish could kill a person, I would most certainly be dead. It has made me wish I was.
I think having hope can wound the heart. I would like to never feel it again because it is just too hurtful to see it shatter around me.

I'm sorry you're feeling so badly. I know that this is a special place, being able to put the words out there where others who know what it is like can see them to read.
I hope this badness passes for you.

Oh sweetie,
It's not just your imagination. I am so very very sorry you're in such agony.
(((((((((((((((((((((you))))))))))))))))))))))
I wish there were something I could do.
Jammie, the "hold" that is described in this link has helped me. I hold my fingers & hand like it's described. Sometimes I'll be in bed in the morning & feeling AWful. Sometimes I can hardly make myself move my hands to do this. But I have found that if I hold my hands like this, often the pain will sort of gently melt & I'll find myself thinking of something that I might do, or just have some thoughts come into my mind rather than just PAINNNNNNNNNNNNN.
I hope this might help you. In fact I pray it will:

Jammer, I'm so very very sorry to hear that you're going through such a terrible time.
I know that hope can lead to disappointment. I'm so sorry that something has happened again to bring up such feelings.

Loneliness is so much more acute once you've had a period when things were different. I settled into it before and, hopefully, I'll settle into it again.
Yesterday I felt like I was doing better. Today is hurt and anguish filled.
Kath, I tried the holding technique, but my silly nails get in the way! I'm at the point, though, where I may chop them off and try it again. I am desperate for relief.

I send my love, Kath
