I Know Pain, Grief And Suffering

I am in so much pain right now - my heart feels like it's shattered. My family don't understand. I try to show them but I don't know how. I try to tell them and it becomes a competition of who's pain is worse. I am so tired of feeling on the edge of depression facing the abyss. I wanna fall. I just want it to consume me - because it's the only comfort I get. I'm tired of fighting. Every time I think that "this is it, this is rock bottom" I hit a new low. I haven't cried and it's all building up. It's ridiculous, all I can say is that I feel incredibly incredibly sad. Yet, I feel numb too. I can't process everything. I am grieving the loss of a loved one but I'm not allowed to because life has to go on, I have to sort out paperwork, look after everyone else, be better. I've pretended for as long as I could. I'm so f@cking weak. I want to crumple into the arms of someone strong. But alas, I feel so totally utterly alone. I'm facing memories of when I suffered deep depression before and it hurts so much. I cried alone. I cut alone. I hid my pain better back then.

If you were weak you'd be dead by now. in a way I am sorry to tell you this, but you are strong. to be filled with pain and yet somehow numb is a hell many people don't know. But you have to keep going, storms don't last forever. And for those that go on longer than you'd like, you can find those who are willing to sit in the rain with you.

@PandorasBox not just words, for words can be ignored, they are facts and they will always be there and always be true
