Belongs to: Therapist reacts to Save Me by Jelly Roll
Its the only peace I’ve ever found. Ptsd, deppresion and anxiety from my job(paramedic) and going through a divorce. Been living this song for a while now.
I hope you are doing better today. Never give up on yourself because you are a good person no matter what you are going through. Sending out Prayers, and Good wishes for you to hang in there
Yeah that song and how he sings it is gut wrenching and so powerful! I wish you strength in your struggles. I’ve been there and and know that greater happiness and peace are possible in the long run. Keep reaching out here and any place that you can get support.
Life can really make you feel like it just tried to suffocate you at times. You try your best to keep your head up and be still on your feet, but it feels like having in front of you this unstoppable force that brings one disaster after another to you. There is no doubt that in the midst of this storm you try as you can to survive, to keep on breathing despite the lack of oxygen, and that in itself shows so much of your resilience and desire to keep on embracing and believing in what good this life could still offer you. But it’s so hard and so defeating when you’re in the eye of the storm. You see all the damage, all the chaos around you, feeling you just can never have a damn break to finally catch your breath.
I’ve felt the way you do at various times of my life too - feeling like everything just crashes down, going from one loss to another and having not enough time to process something that another event would occur. It’s the type of experience that makes you feel surprised as to how much you can endure, and how deep the soil can really be. I remember thinking multiple times that I couldn’t imagine I’d ever feel like I would be hitting the rock bottom of the rock bottom… like a neverending pit. You think you hit the deepest level, then life pushes you even deeper… it’s heartbreaking.
It makes sense to wish to be saved in the middle of what you have been experiencing. These are heavy struggles that can be awfully overwhelming, on top of the loss you’ve been experiencing with your divorce. You’ve been knowing massive changes in your life and it will take time, patience and grace for yourself to find your way through. One day, my friend, you will look back to now and see how much you’ve walked, how much you’ve accomplished, how much you’ve grown, and you will feel proud of yourself for letting yourself experience the other side of what feels neverending. One where is more sun, more peace, no storm. I’m rooting for you.
