Emotional Pain

You will deal with pain one way or another. You will either self-medicate and just prolong the pain or you will openly and honestly deal with your pain.

You will have pain in your life. I don’t just mean physical pain, but emotional pain. Most times, the physical pain in easier to deal with than the emotional pain. When you have emotional, mental pain how do you deal with it? Ignoring it, is not dealing with it. Pushing it to the back of your mind is not dealing with it? When you do this, you simply make the pain last longer and get worse. It is time to be open and honest about our issues and pain. I know all too well what trying to self-medicate will do to a person. Trying to deal with emotional pain yourself will not work. Find that person in your life that God has given you to help you. There will always be someone you can trust. There will be someone you can confide in. Don’t go another day trying to act like all is okay when it’s not. Don’t try to self-medicate any longer. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness and even if it was, do it any way. Do you need help with emotional pain today?
