How do I stay strong when I feel so much pain?

Couple months ago, I had a breakup. Due to which my chest pain has become chronic. Along with that I went through severe abuse and all of that emotional abuse has taken a toll on me. My parents are abuse. I have taken a stand but I'm so tired now. I can't stop the pain and it bothers me. I can't be happy with so much pain. All my loved ones turned out to abuse me emotionally or physically. I need your support.

Hey. Sorry to read of your struggles. I took experience strong chest that comes on with a feeling of deep sadness inside me. It makes it difficult to cope. I have found having regular remedial massage to help get me out of that state. Also exercise and supplements. There an app called insight timer that’s really good for meditation to help relax you also. Hoping things improve for you soon ((hugs))

Sorry to hear of your struggles, abuse and pain. I assume that you are still in school. You could talk to your school counselor to let them know about what is happening at home. If your counselor doesn't call, you could call the Department of Child Protective Services or the Department of Social Services to let them know about the abuse so that you can get some help. If you are being physically abused, you can always call the police. I hope things improve for you.

Sorry you are going through this. I also get chest pains when I get anxious. Believe it or not, the more I think about it the more it hurts. I have found the best thing to do is go out and do something, completely get my mind off how I feel. The more I think about it, the more it hurts.
Do you still live with your parents? If so, you need to talk to someone to get help for yourself. If not, you make boundaries with them so they can't continue to hurt you. They need to know that it's not okay.
