Bottom of the Pit

In the abyss

Without a shadow of a doubt, we've all gone through something we weren't prepared for, some difficulties, some pain, some emotional roller-coaster that takes you unprepared and puts the rest of what's happening with your life on shaky ground. The hardest thing here is to pull your poker face and go on with your life dealing with what you're dealing with, while not allowing it to get to you that much...

I'll never be the one to sit here and tell you to bottle anything up. Keeping strong emotion within will only lead to a negative outlet that'll affect the ones you never think of hurting. This is where it gets complicated. Because while bottling something up will drive you insane, and cause you serious discomfort and affect those around you, spilling all that's within you to everyone you ever meet and come across is the worst possible thing you could do to yourself because you leave yourself vulnerable to a million people. And some people out there exist to mess with people's hearts.

Keeping emotional warfare within you is the loneliest feeling in the world. When something is eating at you on the inside and you can't help but struggle with it, it's a testimony of your strength to carry on with your life. To do the best you can do in the field you're in, and when you get a moment of your time with the people you believe are trustworthy, you'll only need to look at them... and they'll know something within you is bothering you.

In a similar way that some of my old teachers taught me to "study and revise" I think is the best way of dealing with any difficulty while you're living a life you can't put on hold. Do as much work as you can in a time period, and give yourself a bit of rest. Do what you can as efficiently as you can in as much time as you can without being in too much discomfort, and then take a break to talk to someone, give someone a call and let them help you out.

What I've written before comes valid here. Don't be too easy to trust people who come to you and see that something is bothering you. Don't be too quick to tell someone you don't really trust what's eating at you. Trust is very fragile. The worst possible thing in this situation that you could do to yourself in a time where you're feeling alone in a world of hurt, is getting hurt by someone you thought could pull you out.

If you're ever experiencing anything, and you're in any need of talking to someone about anything, or you feel that this article is missing something, feel free to talk to me. I'll make time for anyone when it's a case of feeling down.

Hope you are okay ;)
