Feeling lonely, anxious, tired and painfully sad

I am sure there are biger problems and pain in this world than mine but everything else seem small compared to the pain I am in.

Nothing makes sense to me and I seem to do nothing right.

@onTheEdge247 I’m sorry you’re feeling these things. I found it helpful to not compare my pain and suffering to others’ “greater” suffering because it’s not too useful a comparison. One thing that I know almost always helps is getting more rest. Problems are always bigger when we are tired. I hope you find some relief.

Your pain is your reality! and you have every reason to feel how you are, I find it very easy to compare how we feel to the bigger picture but I try to focus on how I am feeling for example. I find it helpful to try some soothing techniques like crocheting for example to try and calm my thoughts.

You're allowed to feel the way you do. What might be tiny toothers, could be a mountain to you. It's okay to feel like this. The world can be a very confusing place at times. It's going to be okay. Find some ways to calm down - breathing techniques, meditation, etc.

I know that you may feel that your pain is small but all pain is real and valid. A quote that I have found useful is that "We should not compare each others pain or traumas as it is not a competitive sport". I hope this helps :)

@onTheEdge247 How we feel is how we feel! No matter how big or small it may seem, to us it consumes our day and mind. Your pain and feeling are just as valid as any other problem or emotion out there. I am so sorry you are feeling this way; I know how it feels myself. Even though you may feel like you’re not doing great, you are! You are here expressing your feelings and by making this post you are helping others realize they are not alone. It helps to write out our thoughts the way you have. ❤️

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so low. Please don't disregard your pain, thinking that it's not worth your attention, any human suffering is big and important. The listeners of 7 Cups can welcome your pain with empathy and understanding, are you in touch with one ?
