That moment, when the voice in your head, your voice tells you over and over, like a mantra. “You are nothing”
All day, especially when I am alone, it says it continuously, over and over until I feel sick, to the point where I want to vomit.
I am saying it now, I have been alone for about 15 minutes, but I continue to say it, to myself. Â “I am nothing, You are nothing”
When will the suffering be over?
Please just… be quiet.

Try meditation… Sounds weird, but it helps me. In the beginning it’s very difficult, but after a while it gets easier. And than you can use a mantra that is stronger than your voice, like “Everybody lives for a reason, including me.” I hope this will help you <3
Yup you can change what the voices say if you really want it to stop. Takes effort and time.
When will the suffering be over?
Not to sound cold but if your burned your hand when you got to close to a fire you would stop stiking your hand in a fire!
The mind does not distinguish a difference between physical pain and philological pain.
With physical pain the body instinct will aid in making the decision to stop putting your hand in the fire.
Philological pain the mind must help the mind so we don’t see the fire and get stuck.
To train a dog who gets over excited when they fixated on an object you would provide a ‘touch’, a quick “nip†that pulls their attention away and break the loop.
(If every time your inner voice spoke to you in this negative way you received a electrical shock your would stop)
You can do the same and set a “break point†or “trip wire†that gets your attention before you get fixated on the negative message.
When you start to hear yourself repeating that message, stop and breathe, just a moment of time
You can learn not to panic when the voice rears its ugly head. Simply acknowledging that you find yourself feeling not so great about yourself and then refusing to panic.
You have been there before and you will be their again and though the illusion of time might try to convince you that this is your Whole Life it is not. IF you let it it will pass.
There is nothing worse than being your own victim and bully!
Learning to take the time to pause is a skill everyone needs to learn to cultivate.
“The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes—ah, that is where the art resides.”
It is the ability to pause between the hectic and overwhelming moments of life that turns the frantic life to a work of art.
