I've been going through hardships for so long I don't even know what it is to 'hope' for. I've become very accustomed to suffering all the time. I don't even know how it would look like to come 'out' of this. How would I need to act? Who even am I? I don't even know. I do WANT to come out of it, so bad. But my entire mentality and way of thinking is to expect suffering 24/7. So I don't know how to appreciate good things or blessings, not that I'm a negative person in any way (I'm really not), but I am just anxious and tensed all the time waiting for the next bad thing to happen. It's a big struggle. I know that needs to change but it's like having to learn a whole new language I don't even understand.
I once saw some sort of vision/image in my mind where I saw the flock of God, brothers and sisters, all sheep, and then I also as a sheep, and I was walking to and fro extremely distraught and distressed, unable to relax or settle in. While everyone else was laughing and talking amongst each other and grazing grass, and I was just constantly moving to and fro and very stressed, talking to no one and not eating any grass. And people just kind of ignoring or not paying attention to me. That just describes my entire life. I have a lot, and I mean a LOT of trauma. I never really felt like I belonged anywhere because of it because I'm completely incapable of making a connection with anyone, including myself or God. I only ever can 'pretend' to blend in, and people like that version of me, but it's not real. It's not the real me. The real me is so extremely traumatized that people have left me before when they see the real me, because they don't know how to handle that. Please pray for me to heal. I don't know how to go about. I've been in therapy for 10+ years and even that is not helping that much , because I don't know anymore how to let anyone in my heart because of the damage. It's just too much. I do know Jesus though, and He knows me. But I still feel like an 'alien' in this world , even in the flock of God. Because of the severity of everything I'm dealing with and not many people knowing about things on this level.
Just pray for healing in Jesus name I guess, And comfort, and complete restoration. I want to be able to feel alive , I don't know how that feels. Surviving I know, really living I do not. Thank you
