Pain, Again And Again

I regret everything I have done to hurt anyone. Sometimes, I think back on all the people I lost because of my actions, it makes me so sad.  I am so sorry if i have hurt you in any way.

I used to be so happy, sharing special moments with friends and making everyone laugh. 

I used to have a great sense of humor, telling stories to several people for their amusement. 

Then I grew cold, circumstances changed me. My life was crumbling and I was struggling to hold on to myself. I lost everything. Most especially, I lost happiness for a long period. I lost myself. 

Now, I am alone. I feel alone. I have learned to enjoy my company. Maybe because I am scared of losing more than I have lost. 

I have tried several times to convince myself that I am not a terrible person and that the things happening to me are not happening because I deserve them. 

I have been through so much; betrayal, pain, depression, ill health, and loss. I have felt so much for my age. I have dealt with issues bigger than myself. I have struggled with challenges that could swallow an entire person. And I have survived. That’s what keeps me going. 

I am writing this with tears because I woke up this morning feeling like I felt in February. I feel like I am losing it again. I can’t stop crying. I just want peace. I want peace so bad that it hurts. I can’t deny that I am getting tired.

I know that I constantly write to encourage and to let people know they are not alone. Yes, you are not. Even in my current state, I have friends who care for me. I’m just going to try and talk to them. I want you to do the same if you feel this way too. 

I know that someday, I will begin to heal more than I am doing now. I feel, and I pray that I find that peace I am searching for. You will too. 

I have come to realize that once in a while, I will feel like this. I don’t know how often it’s going to happen. I don’t know how long this phase of my life will last but I hope to tell the story of my restoration. Some day, I hope to think about my life and not cry. 

Thank you to everyone who has been here for me. It means so much. I love you all.

  1. Everybody goes through these things once in a while. I hope you understand that it’s very okay to cry, just let everything out and I promise, you’ll feel better afterwards. Yes, you’re not alone although opening up to friends can be really hard sometimes but the blogging community (speaking for many I guess)is always here to listen.
    You’ll look back at this one day and smile. Understand that it’s a process,a healing process and you’ll get through it and find peace at the end of your journey.
    Even advisors need a break sometimes,be patient with yourself. You’ll be fine.
    Sending love ❤️ and light 💡 your way.

    1. Thank you so much A.y
      I have accepted that I will not heal immediately or at once, it would take time and dedication. It would have to revisit some memories and open up some deep wounds to learn to move on. Thank you for always being there for me💖💖. God bless you💖💖💖

  2. Feel better, Anna. Sad times, frustration, and depression are all a part of life. You’re growing up and getting to know more and more what life is made of.

    There’s something I always say, and it always works for me: It always turns out right in the end.
    Trust me, this has been proven in life over and over again. The present may seem like hell, but comfort yourself with the fact that it always turns out right in the end.

    1. Thank you so much, Vanessa. Indeed, I am growing to realize that life has more to offer than all we have asked for. A little bit of everything from every side.

      You are quite right! It always turns out right in the end. It may not be what we exactly want but life will someday get better.

      I hope to one day look back at your comment and smile. Sending you love and hugs💖💖💖

  3. Thanks for sharing!!.. some days are like diamonds, some days are like stone, we all have them…. 🙂
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”…( Marilyn Monroe)… 🙂

    Until we meet again…
    May flowers always line your path
    and sunshine light your way,
    May songbirds serenade your
    every step along the way,
    May a rainbow run beside you
    in a sky that’s always blue,
    And may happiness fill your heart
    each day your whole life through.

    1. “I believe that everything happens for a reason”

      You are so right. Although my experiences have caused a lot of heartaches, It has shaped me to become a better and stronger person. It has caused this burning desire to help others and be better for the world.

      Thank you so much for visiting and sharing such beautiful words with me.💖💖

    1. Thank you so much💖

      I don’t believe the stigma attached to mental health illness in Nigeria should stop me from speaking and helping people who need help.

      Indeed, borderline personality disorder seems to be the worst personality disorders. However, there is still much that can be done to help people with this disorder. We can still live a normal life and love with all of our hearts. I think our biggest weakness is love. And I hope to share so much of it.

      Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog💖💖💖

  5. I understand, I’m dealing with it again too. Right now, depression is not going away. I pray and I know that the Lord sees and knows what is happening and the comfort is there in His Word. I switched churches a few months ago when those who claimed that they were my friends, stopped having anything to do with my husband and I. That wasn’t the only reason why we left, but it certainly didn’t help matters. I write and I have done all I can to help and encourage others, but right now, I need some help.

    1. I really do understand you
      I think there’s a lot of emotional imbalance that comes with switching a place of worship. It happened to my family in 2020 and we haven’t still moved on from the effect. But I know you will.
      Most times, people who offer the kindest hugs and sweetest words need more of them. We are often hanging on a thin thread with thousands of emotions over our heads. But I know that there’s always peace at the end.

      I hope that you find the peace and happiness you desire. Don’t try to force people into your life instead, work on establishing a healthy relationship with your husband so that it doesn’t affect your marriage. You will definitely find better people who will stand with you at all times. For now, hold on to Jesus and share more love. He will find you.

      I’m also here if you need to talk to someone.

      Have a great day♥️♥️♥️
