Best exercises for scoliosis? in Health ·
Kate Sanders5 would rather just go to a physical therapist. It’s one thing to see diagrams on paper, but it’s much better when they actually show you exactly how to hold a stretch or what to do.

Doing exercises helps strengthen those muscles so your spine doesn't keep curving. Plus, if you're dealing with pain, it really helps manage it—it can dull the ache or even make it disappear entirely. For me personally, it definitely helped with the pain.

What exactly are you running from? Do you even know?

about yourself?

Stana said:It’s not that I’m afraid of the answer. I just want to know it, but I feel like I’m not "normal" enough to actually reach it. Right now, I'm spiraling because I can't decide if I'm rooting for Kareem or Morales—there's too much of both in me. But for all my struggles, suicide feels like the only way out. That's the issue. It feels impossible or just too damn hard to fix.

Wanting an answer doesn't mean you aren't afraid. I'm speaking from experience here. I was once certain I wanted the truth, only to realize what I was actually facing was fear. Specifically, the fear of failing.
Why does it matter so much who you're rooting for?
The way you frame a problem determines how it looks to you. If you convince yourself it's impossible, then it is. You close every door before you even try. I'm telling you it's possible and it isn't as hard as it seems. Of course, suicide looks like a solution when you don't see any other exits. Maybe you just need to shift your focus to see the path. The real question is whether you have the guts to do it.
You've become so accustomed to this cycle of self-destruction that you're afraid to change anything. It's easy to stick to the same old pattern because it feels safe. But that pattern is nothing but self-humiliation and death. Changing things means facing the unknown, and that's what scares you.

You can find it if you look inward instead of searching elsewhere. Honestly, it feels like you're just afraid of the answer. If you weren't, you would've found it by now, right?

Stana said:I honestly don't know. Maybe I am. I think I'll wait just a little longer to see how things play out. But once I hit my breaking point and have the chance, I'll probably make a move... and it won't be a positive one.

As long as you're waiting, you're giving yourself an out. Deep down, you already know what you're looking for, even if you aren't ready to admit it to yourself. What are you actually waiting for?
Take a look inside and find the answer.

You know that’s just not possible...
What are you actually trying to say? Your answers are getting incredibly brief. Have you given up?

Stana said:It’s been going on for years... suicide and all that... but lately, it’s constant. I keep thinking about it. BUT then I spiral when I think about my family because things would be rough for them. So I back off for a bit, but before long, I'm right back in the pit. Is this depression or what? I was just looking at old photos of my dad back when he was healthy, before that hellish war, and seeing him now... it just makes me want to end it. I can't deal with the thoughts. What is left of a person? I'll probably just take all that anger and rage out on whatever animal happens to be crapping near me. I don't know. If this gets me locked up or banned, fine.

And for those of you who want to say "go kill yourself," tell me exactly how.

So many of us are searching for light in the darkness hanging over our lives... longing for just one spark of hope in our own nonexistence. The despair is too massive to fill the void inside, and when everything else vanishes, all we have left is pain. In a final cry, we call upon every tear in the world just to make the agony stop, but it doesn't work. It keeps breathing. Maybe it's because we look to the sky for stars to guide us, while ignoring the brightest one: ourselves.
You put it in your title: how to get rid of crazy thoughts? You're asking for help, but from what I can see, you aren't accepting any of the suggestions given. You always find an excuse. I bet if someone offered you a thousand more solutions, you'd find a reason why every single one is stupid. Don't take this personally—I don't agree with half of what people suggest either. And I won't hide behind doctors or clinical talk. I know what you actually want. You want some quick ritual you can do in five minutes, sleep on it, wake up the next morning, and boom—everything is gone. No more pain. You say you want a way out, but you reject every single thing offered to you. You're almost stubbornly insisting on wanting to die just because someone tells you what to do. It's like these suggestions push you even closer to the edge. I know you want to die, but you also want to live—just not like this. It's hard to accept that we are the only ones who can change this way of being. People always say suicide isn't the answer, but that's just a fact. I know you want the pain to vanish, but believe me, the pain can fade by staying alive. You don't need superhuman strength to succeed; you already have everything you need. The advice to stay positive is solid. Obviously, it doesn't fix everything overnight. But try, because you can, and because you want to live. It's hard, but it's worth it. You might not see it now, but isn't it worth sticking around to see if it's true? Put in all the effort and strength you have—and you have more than you realize—and if you still fail, then come back and say: "I tried, and I couldn't." Don't throw in the towel right at the start. Don't just throw your hands up and scream that you can't change anything. Well, of course you can't if you truly believe you can't. I know it feels heavy and the depression is deep, but listen: you can do this. Just take one day. Try for just one day to tell yourself: I am strong, I am capable. At the very least, kick thoughts like "I should kill myself" or "I'm a loser" out of your head. When they come, just don't engage. Do that for one day and see how you feel by the evening. It's tough, but commit to it and you'll see results. It won't be spectacular, but it's a start. Besides, you said every day feels the same and boring anyway. So do this. Or are you going to say that annoys you, too? I'm not saying it isn't boring and difficult, but try because you are able. Does it make sense to just toss your potential aside? It's like if Mike Tyson had to lift a five-pound bag and came out crying, "I can't do it, it's too heavy!" That's what you're doing. It feels too hard, but you haven't even tried.
You aren't the only one stuck in this kind of mess. There are plenty of us, and honestly, some of us are dealing with much worse. We’re still fighting through it, and you can too. If you fall, you get back up. The point is, you aren't in this alone.
