I am not really sure. I don’t know…… I guess people have to get through it.

Just be in the moment no future no past but only the present thoughts.

Actually when i think of it i have not gone through much but i know its there in my future.

But i dont care suffering is like surfing in 20 ft wave, eithers way i have to get wet. To ride the wave, is taking the step how to do it when the wave hits

I make sure I have positive things to do to take my mind off of it. Hobbies are a godsend.

my mother right now buti think she’s playing dumb with me s i didn’t know bout a major shooting and she said i didn’t know either…i keep touch with this as it’s disturbing in the world and i want gun control measures…sorry political.

last time they came back from a wedding and told me my brother and his wife had been to a phish show in arizona. highly doubtful but i didn’t check as this would make me look crazy.

trust is important here as i have only family and one friend talking to me currently who goes off the rails worse than i.

For me it’s to feel it.

That way I can process the suffering and move on.

I have no secret. At my worst I just had to live through it and endure it. I guess if I had to say something that helped it was relationships with other people whether it’s a friend, family, a counselor or nurse you like or someone you talk to regularly at the group home or hospital. Other people made the unbearable, bearable.

I had a friend who vented a lot.

I liked that too cos then I could do the same and not feel judged

It was therapeutic. At the time
