MarthaStevensson Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hey Everyone! Recently I am going through a really tough time. I have some health and marriage problems... I can honestly say that this is the worst time in my life. I need some help cause I can`t stand it anymore. How did you deal with emotional pain and what did you do to move on with your lives?? I feel sometimes like trapped in the cage and I can`t find the way out.... Emotional pain is even stronger that physical one Link to post Share on other sites
Ariadne Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi, Sorry about that. Just try and accept things as they are not as you want them to be and start from there. Don´t feel trapped, you still have a lot of choices. Link to post Share on other sites
Satisfaction Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Talk about everything you feel, look for patterns in your behavior as it helps you understand why you do certain things, look for people who are going through the same thing as you, talk to them also as after a while it wears on your friends who may love you very much but may not know how to cope any more. If its really bad try counseling, that will dramatically cut your recovery time and if you get a good counselor will help you understand yourself a bit more. Which ultimately helps you avoid the same problems in the future, which is always a worry. Think of them as mental physiotherapists. Do things that make you happy. Be prepared to cry alot and feel terrible. Link to post Share on other sites
TouchedByViolet Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ideally the best response to emotional pain is acceptance. You can't change how you feel. The worst part of emotional pain is when you try to reject it. You wish events were different, you wish people were different, you wish you were different... things like this cause loads of pain. So try your best to accept your emotions and let them run their course. *hug* Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you all for the answers! It helps a lot when I feel that here are people who care. I spent a nice weekend with my sister and it helped me a lot! However, problems aren`t solved yet. I was searching for remedies and help to cope with depression and emotional pain and one girl in the other forum recommended the book by dr Janet Crain- "If you want an egg roll get out of the pizzeria". She explained her experiences related to reading a book and how it did change her life... I am considering buying this book. But does anybody hear about it? Some recommendations?

russ617 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I think I know how you feel. Personally, metaphysical connection helps me feel better in those times. It gives me a wider perspective and help me remember about life, with a capital L. If you have group like that---maybe religous related, or something even less structured, either can help. I personally like metaphyiscal messages. Abraham-hicks for example, or Seth. My personal favorite is the Elias Material. I just read through the transcripts. Lots of people like me, and lots of hope and perspective. That latter part is key. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnootes Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I found Byron Katie to very helpful. "Loving What Is", "I need your love, is that true?" and "Who would you be without your Story" are the titles of her books. Link to post Share on other sites
