The Painful and Silent Struggles We Don’t Talk About

Sometimes, the loudest and hardest struggle happens in silence. I know you are currently going through some inner and silent struggles that you find so difficult to discuss with anyone. Trust me, you are not alone in this; most of us, if not all of us, are also currently experiencing silent struggles that we don’t talk about. Not that we don’t want to talk about them, but often, we think and believe that no one understands, and maybe they won’t believe us when we speak out.

In this blog post, we will explore some of the struggles that many of us are currently facing and discuss how to heal and let go of some of them, if not all of them. This will be an emotional journey, but we must go through it. So, are you ready now? Okay, let’s go!

1. Silent Struggles and Pains of Past Mistakes.

That was not you. Yes, that’s the truth, it wasn’t you. Sometime a few years ago, you saw yourself in a tight corner, and all you could think of was how to survive. You did what you did to survive and save yourself from shame and every other problem.

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves in situations that force us to do things we have even sworn never to do to survive. Now, recall that you were not proud of this while you were doing it. Recall that you were battling steadily with your conscience, as it was hurting you to go against your morals and ethics. But you have to survive.

Perhaps you also knelt to ask God for forgiveness, letting Him know that you did what you did because you had no choice and that you did not enjoy doing it.

So why are you still in pain each time you remember it? Why not heal from it and let it go, because that was not you. The real you is this person now, who is feeling so bad and wallowing in pain and silent struggles for your past mistakes. Get up, cheer up and let it go. No one is perfect, and no one can claim they are without sin. Your sins are forgiven already. So let it go!

2. The Silent Struggles and Battles of Regret.

But the past is past, yesterday can never come back. It is gone, so let it remain in the past. You did not just do that for which you are going through these silent struggles today for no reason; something must have pushed you to do that.

It could be out of passion to save someone’s life, and then this person turns back at you to pay you back with bad behaviour instead of reciprocating and returning your kind gesture. It could be that you have lost a great opportunity of a lifetime due to your own mistake and ignorance. The truth is that all these things happened yesterday, and yesterday is gone. This means that regretting and putting yourself through this silent struggle only means that you are dwelling in the past.

These are unspoken life challenges that can lead you to mental health struggles. So why not let them go, face the present and work hard for the future?

Always remember that when you dwell on the past by constantly regretting your mistakes, you are setting yourself back. Forget about them, stop the regret and focus on your future. The earlier you free yourself from these silent struggles and battles of self-pity and guilt, the better it will be for you, because your door to success and abundance will open rapidly.

3. The Silent Struggles of Heartbreak.

Some people say that a broken heart can never heal again, but I disagree with that school of thought. I understand that sometimes it is not easy to let go, perhaps because of how deeply or how far you were involved with this person. But at the same time, you also need to understand that everything happens for a reason.

What if that person is not the right one for you, even though you might think they are? What if this person is a disaster waiting to happen shortly? There is no need to let those silent struggles of the heart break a better part of you.

It could also be that you lost a loved one, and so you keep struggling to heal from the heartbreak. This can be so painful, though, but you don’t have to continue this way; you are simply slowing down or even blocking your progress.

Just let it go; there are still many good things to look forward to here. You don’t have to keep punishing yourself because of this present condition. It can be so painful, we all know, but you still have to get up and keep going.

4. The Silent Struggles of Betrayal

Betrayal can be so painful, especially when it occurs at the last minute. The truth is that most of the time, we deal with people who lack integrity and self-respect. We do business with individuals who are not trustworthy and can never be trusted.

This person will not view it as a big deal to betray you; sometimes, it appears they have lost their conscience. Life itself is filled with disappointment and betrayal, which I detailed in my previous post about the uncertainty of life. All you need to do is be cautious next time, mindful of who you relate to and do business with, because many people cannot be trusted.

Again, it’s true that sometimes what will happen will still happen, because it’s not all about being careful. Just keep being mindful at all times and stay away from people or friends whom you cannot trust, because humans are becoming something else these days.

Summary

Do not let the silent struggles you have been going through for some time now cause you more pain than you are already experiencing. Maybe it is time for you to speak up. You can book an appointment with a therapist. We all face numerous silent battles in life, but the most important thing is that you should not let them profoundly affect your life.
