Lesson Overview

30.08 – “I Don’t Want to Die, I Just Want the Pain to Stop”: Many people who think about death don’t truly want to disappear — they want relief from a pain that feels endless. When emotional pain becomes constant, your mind starts searching for any escape, even one that doesn’t make sense. It’s not about weakness; it’s about being overwhelmed by something that feels too big to handle. The key is slowing things down instead of making a final choice during a temporary storm. Let yourself say, “I need the pain to stop, but I want to live.” That single truth can change the direction of your next thought. You can reach for distraction, movement, or quiet — anything that gives your body a chance to rest from panic. Pain wants you to rush, but healing requires you to pause. You deserve time to breathe, to ask for help, and to let someone sit beside you until the weight lifts.
