Some very very sad stories. i hope you all have learned to help yourselves or seek out professional help. No shame at all in needing professional help after enduring some of these stories.
We all have our shit. It doesn't mean we can't still choose to be good people and have wholesome fulfilling lives despite it. I think the best thing that came from it for me has been humility. My traumas have helped me to understand the pain and trials of others. There is something healing in empathy and humility.
I'll say this....I think writing really helped me with all my traumas over the years...I wrote an autobiography when I was in Hawaii and it was cathartic....It's in a timecapsule that my kids will get when I pass on...nobody has read it but me....stuffing trauma can be really unhealthy...sometimes writing it down is a release valve and you can burn it after you write it...sometimes just dig a hole, scream in it and cover it back up
Writing helped me to. I wrote a book of poetry about the deaths I have a experienced in my life and the inevitability of my own called, The Black Elephant
My god. Horrible. Your poor mother I cannot imagine. I hope she was able to get through such a tragic event.
Yes, someone was working on new shelving and had a chisel clamped to a pair of vise grips and what hammering came lose and became a projectile.
Damn. That sucks man, sorry. Glad you were able to get your depth perception back. That's got to be terribly difficult with one eye.
When i was 3-4 was playing on the floor of our apartment. Mother at the dining table doing something and then just fell over motionless on the floor. she had tried to commit suicide by prescription drugs. She lived though.
I keep trying. And that is what matters. I now hide from my family, and feel heavy anxiety anytime I get notifications from them. I try to live my best life. It's all we can really do
There was no pun intended by the way. That's too bad you can't be around your family. I feel for you. Yep, trying to live the best life despite is the best we can hope for.
Exactly. It all results from experience and makes us better understand some of the pain that others go through. God bless all of you for the pain you've had to endure.
