I have a theory that i would like to share with you all. this theory is on pain something that i experience 24/7 in more ways than one and i know that it can become so very overwhelming and you just want to crawl into a ball and leave the world behind. trust me i have been there and in fact recently today i really really just wanted everything to end just for the pain to leave.
my theory is that there are particular types of pain. to my knowledge there isn't really anyway anyone can measure pain other than the old expression "between 1-10 10 being the worst and 1 being the best". i wanted to first of all give pain a form of measurement that everyone can use. this is because pain comes to so many forms.this is the problem with pain , nothing is ever the same with people every ones pains can be in different forms and pain relief can come in even a wider category of things. from a kiss from a loved one to the gentle breeze upon your cheek.
however all that being said some of us don't have a loved one from whom we get kisses and cant stand the fucking breeze as its way too cold. so we have to turn to other methods. i personally have went through so many at one point i honestly just didn't see a point in trying. i suffer from a list of medical problems which make life allot harder and this added to my anger management problem which took me a good few years to bring out to my friends just doesn't really help things.
i want this blog to not only maybe give help other in my situation but to also maybe educate those who perhaps think that there friend of family member might be feeling the same way because i know from past experience sometimes telling people is harder than facing your problems.
i myself bottle shit up and this just got out of hand and i was forced to clear the air with friends as it began to threaten my life even more than it already has and that really scared me.
so as the first part as i mentioned above i want to give some way of people to list there pain. i personally feel better knowing something in a almost numbered form because then you can track your progress with it allot easier but allot of the time i was really just working randomly out of my head trying to figure out if i was a ten and a bit or a 9.
so my first category simply called "Category One" is for the type of pain which is literally momentary. getting annoyed over silly things is a form of pain. pain is anger , physical injury, mental distress and annoyance. category one related to annoyances which occur such as knocking over a glass by mistake. these things are meaningless acts of simply bad luck. however in allot of ways this category can be very very dangerous to a person. this things on there own are meaningless and petty. however , you let these things build together and you have allot of little things that have made themselves into a big thing. at the end of this blog i will give up some of my suggestions onto how to see this category as becoming a problem and how to ovoid letting them get to you.
the next category as i have very creatively named "Category 2" is a step p from category one int he sense that this is short term physical pain. such as a paper cut or something along those lines. this combined with category one can spark off allot of emotions and together can be very very edgy. me myself on a number of times have been trying to balance a number of category one problems and then a category 2 problem hits and out of no where everything goes a little mad. this category is one of the main ways in which someone can be pushed just that little bit over the edge.
"category 3" and yes the categories are all numbered and this is for confidence of reading and understanding my theory. this category is very similar to category 2 in the sense that it is physical pain but this time it is long term physical pain. this can be anything from Asama to skin problems both of which i have so know the full extend of there painful nature. this category for me is the number one way I'm pushed just too far. its just the one thing that grinds down your defences until you think fuck it whats the point and before you know it you have let everything get to you.
"category 4" is mental pain. this is pain that is in your head and although is technically isn't physical it can be so much more damaging to a person. with my anger problem it was mainly things going on inside my head which got to me very quickly and got in the way of just about everything. this can just put you into a very dark place and sometimes its not always getting out of that dark place that's the hardest part, but actually accepting that your there and then allowing others to help. this category is the worst so far as you can be put into this category by other people not just by yourself. bullying can lead to a person joining this category.
"category 5" the most dangerous category and the easiest one to fall into. this category is for those people who have a problem from each of the past 4 categories. this problem is the one that leads to long term mental and physical down fall. i myself am in this category but by using the categories i have been able to try and work at each thing one at a time starting from category one and working my way up through them and not trying to tackle everything at once but doing it piece by piece.
i hope that these categories are helpful to others and that they are a way for others to maybe take a better grasp of there situation and find a way out.
i will now list just some things that i believe will help with each of the categories i have listed above.
Category 1: enjoy the small things
Category 2: make a joke about it
Category 3: music and art can open the soul and set you free
Category 4: if you cant tell someone whats wrong then draw or paint what you feel, once it has a material self rip it up and through it away and you have already won the battle.
Category 5: you may not think yourself strong enough to deal with everything and life may go down hill very fucking quickly, but sometimes the best way to stay up is to have some friends holing your hand down that hill and then to take you back up.
