I don’t know the circumstances that have caused you to feel this way. What little I can offer you isn’t very poignant but it’s heartfelt.  
 
Some small consolation to me in my own experiences of hurt to the point of overwhelm, is to consider it in my own vague cosmology as part of some refinement process. The people I’ve known who have inspired me with their strengths and compassion all have in common that they’ve through some very trying times. They’ve come by their depth of character by having emerged from the depths life sometimes takes us to.

Without any intent to belittle what you are experiencing, I’ll ask you to consider how awed you might be by your own strength when you’ve come through this.

ahhhhh... Mastering the art of mustering the strength to just go on, one of lifes many but essential lessons. Should I first say I empathize with your plight, irreversable loss is just one of those things that has the power to knock you on your ass regardless of your level of personal strength. I cant imagine what it would feel like to lose something as imporant as a loved one, or home or physical function, but I can understand how hard living with that can be. As the poster before me mentioned, you may be surprised how much strength you gain from this unfortunate experience, however I dont think that means that you arent allowed to seek comfort and support for these hard times. You may find that just expressing yourself, and even allowing yourself to feel and grasp the gravity of your pain can help you to cycle through the stages of greif a little quicker. No one can expect you to simply get over the things that are hurting you but learning how to process it and cope is key. Some of us have some hands on experience, so if you feel comfortable doing so feel free to contact someone privately and I'm sure you will be able to find a shoulder to lean on in your time of need. I'm here, and I vouche for a few others on this site who are genuine, so if you need a friend dont hesitate to ask. In the meantime just try to think happy thoughts, give yourself time to escape to a peaceful quite place in your mind, like a "happy place" and just take it easy. Chin up, this too shall pass.

All my love and best wishes

I'm tired of being tormented to hell, that's what I'm tired of.

Is something happening to you? I’ve seen you use this phrase before. What do you mean, Froderik? Are you feeling similarly to the OP or bumper?

No, not to them at all. Yes, something quite disturbing is happening to me: It's called society.  :timeout:

Well then your options are to "Be the change you wish to see in the world" or become Insular and reclusive.
Please don't retreat to a Kazinski shack.

Easier said than done, but this is pretty good advice, considering.

As in Ted? LOL...I won't do that, but I may eventually take up residence at the Tire Ranch.™
