How do you deal with deep rooted pain?

Not because of medical condition.

A cathartic release, I attended many rock concerts in the 70s which helped. Relationships with the source of pain must be restructured ao that the active pain source is nullified.

@Aliveshock Thank you so much 🙏

Typically, I just focus on carrying on through it. I don't think that's a good instinct.

@BlueVeins Thanks mate

I focus in on the source of that particular pain, then meditate on it.
Until I can talk to my therapist and make her laugh and then she says, “Oh. You were serious about that.”
Talk it out and settle on a process of how to package it then label it, build a compartment for it and find a proper place to bury that fucker!

Until I need to pull it out and properly beat someone’s ass with it.

I just deal with it

@SW-User Good, concise answer. Me too. All it takes is not indulging. It's not that hard.

@Ynotisay I don't do the "poor me" thing very well

@Futuremirror how come?

Futuremirror · 36-40, M

@Jeephikelove Not my first language and they used difficult and deep English words, unfamiliar to me. Without knowing the meanings properly, it won't make sense to me like it will to those with English as their first language

@Futuremirror oh I see, but that’s ok

Put it in a box and come back to it when it is time (meaning when I am ready/capable) to deal with it. It's a learned thing, anger when I was younger.

You can't bury it, you have to work through it. When it comes up, take a pause and let yourself feel it. Once you learn to live with it, it'll never stop you.

It’s the toughest pain of all. I had to learn to let go and let God!

Futuremirror · 36-40, M

@NoGamesTolerated Believing in God and leaving it God is the best therapy ever. Thank you lady

@Futuremirror Some things only God can make right! And he will on his time and not ours tho.

And you’re welcome!

Scream, play drums, music, art, writing, rest, nature and time alone. Especially time alone.

I found being away from others and getting all their opinions and "you should's" out of my head helped me find my way.

Also, because I release it and I'm not afraid of my dark side, people act like I'm a freak. But they don't know, they don't care and they aren't going to help. Alone is best for me.
