Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I just wanted to say- the pain thing is just so real and it makes me not feel like I want to return to my own pain, but rather heal from it. I had shared before my daughter had found out I was suicidial, and I always remember the pain in her eyes when she confronted me about my own self-injury desires. When though I was at the Caron House Codependency Program- during are group therapy sessions, I got to role play and play a mother who had passed away to a younger girl in our group. She cried to me, as she would have to her mother and told me how much she missed me, and wanted me back in her life. Dear God- I cried and cried because I kept thinking what if I would have taken my own life- and left my daughter. So whether it is unkind words we use on ourselves,self-injury or suicidal thoughts- we must remember not only the toll it takes on us, but those who love us too. So many of us have spouses, children, relatives and friends who love and appreciate us- and sometimes it is hard to see admist this pain the value and beauty that resides inside of us- but it is there!
