@HeartSupport i have been numb through all of my adult life right from the moment i tried to commit suicide at around 15. how can i get through that? i,ve never been great at asking for help.
Hey there friend,
I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. But let me tell you, there is a reason you are still here, it is not by chance that you’re alive. Your life has infinite value, and as someone who has struggled with feeling “numb”, I completely understand how you feel. I spent a long time feeling alone and helpless, stuck in a circular state of depression.
But please believe me, these feelings are not the end. It took me awhile, but I eventually found the support I needed and broke free from the numbness, and I feel more sensation every day I wake. I know how intimidating asking for help can be, but trust me, there is no wrong way to ask for help.
The kind of help needed is different from situation to situation, so I can’t tell you exactly what you need to heal. But if I was in your shoes, I would sit down with someone trustworthy, like a close friend or therapist, and just talk with them about everything. I think that is the perfect place for healing to begin.
I will be praying for you to receive the help and healing you need friend! If you need to talk more about this, we’re here.
Hey there,
First off I just want to say thank you for being open with us here. We appreciate it and don’t take it for granted.
I’m sorry that you have had to fight this battle, you don’t deserve it.
I get the feeling of just being numb. I have been there where I wanted to die, I have had instances where I tried. Life gets to be a lot. Too many thoughts, too much going on. It sucks, I’m sorry this is a struggle you face as well.
I am also not great at asking for help. I struggled through my teenage years, but I was so lucky to have Heart Support there for me. To this day, I still have struggles with trying to be open and asking for help. I have been trying to journal when i am not feeling well; I try to notate what happened and how it made me feel, so i can address it with someone at a later time- or it helps me work through it on my own.
It takes time and work, but I promise you it can get better. There are people who will listen and people who care, I know this because I too have been there.
I believe in you.
With love,
Lys
