Will I always feel this pain?

No you will not. In fact you will never feel this pain again because the pain you feel is unique to this moment in time and space (it may shrink/grow/change/dissipate). As with almost everything in life... it's cyclical (without this pain you won't be able to compare how happy will you be at some point in the future or how happy you we're in the past). It's all good, all feelings are good. They signal you that some changes are necessary.

No! Nothing is forever. Emotions are something we all have but certain feelings come and go. It will get better!

No, pain is something that only gets better with time, even if it seems never ending. It is hard to feel like something so intensely painful will pass, but it will pass. It may not disappear all together, but it will fade enough that you will be okay and you will be able to manage what you are feeling. You are strong and capable, I promise everything will pass overtime. Think about a time where you've felt intense pain before and think about how that pain feels today. As people, we are built to get knocked down and pick back up, and I promise you will get back up. Please do not hesitate to reach out for help and trust the ones you care about to help. You are not alone! It will pass.

You will not always feel this pain. Pain will morph and change. Pain can intensify or it can slowly ease away. How you handle your pain will reflect how you are able to feel it.

I can promise you that pain only lasts the moment you have felt it. Besides pain there is love and when you understand that pain will only last such a short time compared to all the beautiful wonders in the world. Then and only then will you be happy. Happiness comes from love and compassion. When your feeling pain rely on those close to you to life your spirit.

I think pain shifts.. I mean it may always be there but it changes and get less, it depends on the situation but I know things that destroyed me in the past now barely upsets me. Control your feelings, don't let your feelings control you

You won't always feel this pain, although it may seem like you will currently. Believe me, it will phase out :) Talking to a listener or a close friend will help speed up the process as well!

Pain is of course temporary. Sometimes it lasts longer than expected; sometimes it's seems as though there will be no end; pain is tricky and tough to endure; just have faith and take it easy; one breath at a time. You can and will surpass this feeling for sure.

No you may not always feel this pain. Pain is supposed to be temporary & can be if dealt with correctly. Find something that makes you happy and maybe the pain will go away.

pain will eventually fade but it never truly goes away. But there are no highs in life without lows. Every high and every low defines you and makes you the person you are meant to be.

Absolutely not, eventually you will begin to grow and soon enough you will rediscover yourself. You have a great life ahead of you!

No, you'll experience happiness and positivity and comfort. Maybe not as soon as you would like but there is a life for you without all the pain and the dreadful thoughts. The realisation will hit you at some point and it will be such a relief but all you can do now is work towards getting there. You have control over what you can do now and how it's going to be so no matter how little the step is you're moving forward, and the setbacks are there to remind you that you're getting back up so keep trying. Later on you'll find a lot of wisdom and kindness that came from this experience but for now it's the small steps that count.

No, nothing in life lasts as it is, everyone has his own pain story, if life was all about pain and suffer then the word happiness wouldn't have existed, no matter how long your pain lasts be sure that you will get rid of it one day, try to change the way you live now, try to be honest to yourself and try to discover it to know where does your pain comes from so you can change something about it.

Pain will pass. What you are feeling now will not always be the same, even if you don't realise it, as people we are always changing and developing. You'll get there.

It's true that time does heal. Pain will come back but as long as you have the tools and support network, you can get through it.
