It Hurts so much

I feel so lonely. This whole week I've been so down. I drink my pills but the emotional pain has started to become physical. My heart feels like it is cramping with every beat. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest. I feel so alone. I want to cry but I can't anymore. All that's left is this hurt... This loneliness. I feel empty yet full of pain. Why does it literally hurt? How is it that your body makes emotional pain into physical pain? I can't breathe...

Thexena -

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I don't have a scientific explanation for why your emotions cause you physical pain, but it stands to reason since your brain it part of your body and controls your body. When I am depressed I am usually very anxious too. The combination has all sorts of effects on my body, and yes, I am in pain at that time.

Maybe someone else can give you a better technical reason.

Whatever the case, I hope you feel better soon. I''m hoping for ya -

Hi,
I am not sure if this will help you. Give it a try and see.

The heaviness that you describe could be due to the phenomenon of introverted attention. Try to change the directionality of your mental attention by consciously looking at the external things frequently. This will lift the burden and make you feel lighter.

Hi, I'll be whining again. This weekend I finally ventured out to an event - alone since I have no friends and I was sure my ex wouldn't be there since he was never interested in Medieval things anyway. The day was actually fun and I managed to make a friend- but then I bumped into my ex and his super-skinny and beautiful new girlfriend. :'( He never even wanted to hold my hand in public but he was holding her around the waist. I really don't love him anymore but it hurts to know he left me because I am not pretty enough. I know now that I am too ugly to be loved but it just hurt so bad to see the only man who ever wanted to be with me move on just 2 months later (probably even sooner) while I will forever be stuck and alone. I have no more hope for the future and just want to die. I started cutting again since this pain is just too much to hold in. I pray every night to die. Why does God even make, fat, ugly, black-haired girls when all men want is skinny busty blondes? I wish I was dead so this pain could just go away.
