HomeGeneralScreaming but no sound exits my mouth….does this pain and misery end? will it spare me and let me leave this world? or will I suffer eternally?
Misery never ends. The voices in your head, including your own, will go on forever. You must learn to accept that.
HOWEVER, you can control the volume of those voices with a little practice and you can put yourself in a position or frame of mind to distract yourself from the troubling sounds by turning up the volume of the good. Regardless of how bad it may seem to you most of the time, there are usually a few moments in a day where you can smile. Usually we (and I ) tend to forget [that] five second laugh or smile and use the misery in our existence to erase our memory of the brief good and happy moment.
I was at a point in my life where absolutely nothing seemed happy or funny and I thought that I was doomed to be miserable, until I was in a Hallmark greeting card store and was going to buy a birthday card for a relative. I picked up one card that absolutely tickled my funny bone and I laughed out loud for about 10 seconds. The person next to me looked over my shoulder read the card and commented that it was hilarious. With that, a store clerk approached us and gave us the (shuss) with a finger over her lips and then pointed to a small sign over the card rack that said, “In consideration for others please do not laugh out loud.”
I kid you not. At that point I realized, that was something funny, in my otherwise miserable day, and I should remember it rather than forget or cover it with grief, sorrow or self pity. From that point on I made it a priority to remember the funny or happy things in a day and try to recall (it) them before I went to sleep every night.
The shit in your life still exists but the bad smell can be disguised with the perfume of laughter. Don’t let others tell you not to laugh and be happy and most importantly do not tell yourself to be miserable. Laughter drowns out the voices in your head. I can testify to that.
Grab, steal, purloin brief moments where you can laugh at yourself; it helps.
Have fun a minute at a time, and the minutes can turn into hours, etc, etc, etc.
