It is not as easy to explore a feeling, unless it is being felt.
The pain and discomfort of fear, is one of the most taunting feelings.
Am I dying…
Will I live another year…
Have all of my past experiences caught up to me and caused a health issue that is incurable…
There are haunting thoughts that don’t make it easy to exist.
To want to live, but want to be gone, yet be fearful of a death that may or not be soon approaching…
Where is the peace, the bliss, the comfort…
A partner, maybe that would help.
Distractions, staying busy, nothing sounds right.
The only way to deal with it is to face it.
Look at it straight on, breathing in, breathing out, saying, “I will be okay. I am okay. It is okay. It will be alright. I am okay.”
There is nothing else to do.
Just wait.
Breathe.
Keep saying that I will be okay, I am okay, it is okay, it is going to be alright, it is alright.
Wait.
Experience it again.
Face it.
Breathe through it.
Don’t distract.
Don’t medicate.
Don’t numb.
Face it.
Live through it.
Sleep.
Wake up to another day.
– M.
