Ever just have so much happen in a short period of time...?

Question

That you felt numb? Is it better to lose yourself in the numbess, and wait for something to bring you back to life... Or should you keep battling until your legs won't support you and you can't see, and your arms don't seem to exist?

What do you do? And is it the best you can do, or only what you yourself were able to muster?

Answer 1

Well, this is a sore spot if I do say so myself. This question brings me back to the worst time in my life.



Before I talk about that I want to say that in the moments in life when you feel everything closing in on you and the feeling of helplessness can creep in.(We are only human, Not superhuman) Breathing, pacing yourself each day and doing what you can is sometimes the only thing that keeps us till the next morning. Battling until your strength is gone is counter productive. I have done it myself. Reserve your energy and charge up when you can. This is survival mode.

Back to the worst time in my life, for those that wish to continue reading...

Inside of 10 months, My husband was arrested for battering me (badly), I had struggled for 11 years to try to "make" the marriage work, I was jobless with three children to feed (on my own), I went without electricity for 2 months, my sweet Grammie who I was very close to- died, she left me most of her estate and my sisters (3) where very angry and spiteful to me ( a legal battle insued), my 8 year old daughter told me my own father had been sexually assaulting her, my sisters called her a liar and still don't talk to me today, he was put in jail for 12 years, so in essence I lost my father too, my mother had a nervous breakdown and guess what daughter was available to pick up the pieces? yep - me. I was in survival mode for sure!



In closer, I will tell you that today, I own my home in the beautiful mountains of California , started a non-profit organization to help traumatized children (inspired by what happened to my daughter) I am married to a supportive, generous, kind hearted man, and I have found some loving and genuine friends. My life is far from perfect, but I wanted to say that when all seems doomed, tomorrow really can bring a brighter future.

Answer 2

first of all take a deep breath and step back. why is there so much going on in your life? is it something you can help? is it because you want all these things to happen. look at what is going on and unobligate yourself from a few things. and if you are talking about high school in itself, then you are a perfectly normal person. and everyone goes to high school. and about the going numb thing... well maybe you should have more alone time. life is only as hard as you let it get. there is a short prayer i like to say when things get tough: God, i know that there isn't anything that is going to happen today that you and i together cant get through.

Answer 3

Keep fighting. I am a weird person. I was brought up watching anime (DBZ), so failure in not option, and if you do fail, you train to the point of near death to win next time. I stayed home yesterday, to do homework. I finished reading a book (hour and a half), and wrote a seven page paper on its literary significance (9 hours). I have taken three tests in school today, all before lunch. I didn’t study for any of them, due to my seven page essay. I failed an orchestra test, did horrible on an AP English test, and, since AP Bio is two periods, I studied the whole first period while ignoring the teacher, and did descent on that test. I feel horrible, so when I entered AP Cal, I did 60 pushups. Tomorrow, I am going to sleep in, then study and jog a couple of miles. Sunday, I am going to study. Next week, I am going to murder every test I take!

Answer 4

Oh,boy, I can relate.You have no idea.What usually works is to take a night off.Hang out with friends.If you're over 21 and so inclined,go out for a drink or 2 with them, go out to the club and dance your feet off.Take a long drive and blast your stereo.Or a long walk.Some times it's the little things that get you through the hectic stuff.

Answer 5

Well, I had some words of wisdom for you but as soon as I read patzky99's answer, I knew you had just what you needed. How blessed you are to have such a precious friend.

That sort of heart can refresh even the weariest of warriors.

Answer 6

the rooms seem to spin before your eyes... work... bedroom... shopping... friends... family, at a feverish pitch. it's exhausting and stimulating at the same time, and you feel your feet slipping, slipping out from under you.



yet i have faith that you won't slip and fall. your sheer will WILL overcome the numbness, your beautiful spirit WILL allow you to come through for those who rely, and your knowledge that your worried friend depends on you in HER time of need will keep you going.



you will do the best you are able: it's impossible to ask more than that, and unrealistic to expect yourself to do it. superman only exists in movies.



as for the numbness, it can be comforted... and it WILL be comforted in someone's deepest thoughts and wishes for you to make it through this beautiful and tumultuous time. the strongest wish of all goes out tonight... rest easy, dear one.

Answer 7

Yes, there was one day, many things happened and i couldn't stand to face it anymore. But, just think that it will bring some kind of happiness we don't really see where it is. Just wait and put your trust on God.

Answer 8

yes, it seems like everything just seems to hit all at once, and yes when that happens to be i do become numb. but at the same time, i also just think that it cant get any worse, so things have to start looking up. so i just try to keep on trucking.

Answer 9

i know what you mean..eviction notice, bestfriend gets punched by her b/f, a week for me in the hospital for depression, family death all within 3 months! then what snapped me out was a love interest. but a year after that he left me pregnant and broken hearted.. so yes back to numb again. who knows what to do? no matter what you do it's really time that works it out.
