Understanding and Coping with Lost Reality and Soul Fragments

Dear Chantelle,

I read your story. I think you should do some self-search in the Christian way, by watching or reading up on Jacqueline Hanselman and another preacher, James Kamala. What you're experiencing is called soul fragments. After trauma, your soul can be exposed to terrible stuff. Please do look into Christian teachings which these names can provide insights that may help.

Self-Reflection and Pain Acknowledgment

Taking a pin and trying to puncture your skin to relate pain to suffering might sound strange, but it's an experiment to connect with physical sensations. It can be a healing process to feel the pain, which often symbolizes our emotions. You’ve mentioned the option of doing your favorite work, talking to someone, listening to music, or reflecting on your feelings, important people, and your past. It’s important to acknowledge that losing something is not as impactful as losing oneself, and that process requires attention and support.

Seeking Professional Help

To provide more context, could you elaborate on what you're experiencing? For instance, do you feel as if you're not here, that no one can see or hear you, or that the world of people feels distant and unconnected? Do you find that your mind creates realities different from others, such as hearing negative thoughts, phrases, or commands in your mind or ears? These could be signs of a potential issue that needs to be explored.

Whatever you're going through, if it is affecting your daily activities, such as sleep, eating, keeping up with work, or social obligations, it's crucial to seek support. If you feel like you are losing your grip on reality or experiencing symptoms like 'going crazy,' it would be wise to find a trustworthy listening service. Options like Good Therapy or 9-8-8 in Canada and the U.S.A., and 988 Lifeline in the U.K., can provide immediate support.

While I am not a professional, I have extensive life experience and can recognize the importance of seeking help. It can be due to severe prolonged stress, a major loss or series of losses, or a mental health symptom, often in response to major life stressors. There are many possibilities, but it's clear that you need professional support to navigate through this challenging period. You deserve to find a trustworthy listener, such as a counselor, social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist.

Conclusion and Hope

I hope you are able to find some kind of good support. You deserve it!! There is hope. You are not alone, and reaching out for help is the first step towards healing and recovery. Reach out to someone who can provide the necessary support and guidance. Your well-being is important, and taking care of yourself is paramount.
