Chronic pain patients hide it so well, you can’t go by how they look on the outside. They have to learn how to function with the pain, you can’t just roll around on the floor all day screaming in agony. Medical personnel in hospitals don’t even realize this. A chronic pain patient can function with a pain level that would incapacitate any other person.

What are you supposed to do when you’re scared of the world but your own head isn’t safe either?

When I'm in a dark place

[resiliencewithin]

I am healing for me.

I am not healing for work. I am not healing to return to being a productive member of society.

I am healing for my own stability, wellness, health and contentment.

Sometimes I feel like I want to talk to someone. I have a lot of friends & few close friends but somehow it isn't enough.

Many of us will never have closure. Many of us will never receive the apologies we deserve. Many of us can never forgive those who hurt us.

That doesn't mean we aren't healing or moving on. We're not letting our past stop us. We're not allowing our traumas to destroy our lives.

And I think, this is so brave of us.

“She had thought, in her nocturnal and suicidal hours, that solitude was the problem. But that was because it hadn’t been true solitude. The lonely mind in the busy city yearns for connection because it thinks human-to-human connection is the point of everything. But amid pure nature (or the ‘tonic of wilderness’ as Thoreau called it) solitude took on a different character. It became in itself a kind of connection. A connection between herself and the world. And between her and herself.”

You have to force yourself to get up early, you have to take care of your responsibilities, you have to be honest with yourself, and you have to evaluate your priorities. Nobody is going to do it for you. These are your goals and your dreams. Everything you want starts and ends with you.
