Why is pain stalking me?

Things went waay wrong in my life a few months ago, and I buried the people along with the situation. However, last night at a carnival in my town, one of the people involved with the painful situation came up to me and started harassing me. I felt like crap and almost overdosed on tequila and Prozac. How can I not let others effect me like that and why does pain never seem to leave?

omg no!
dont let yourself do that
if you need someone to talk to (or just rant or virtually cry to)
im here!
sorry if that sounded creepy
ew...it so did
well anyway...
im here
and that stuff happens to the best of us
its part of life

oh my god I wish I had the answer to this question. I think it has to do with cycles. you could try to move away, I did that, but the same things kept happening. I think your mind is trying to tell you something or teach you a valuable lesson about whatever the pain is from. I personally don't think your brain enjoys pain & will try to avoid it at all costs because obviously pain leads to death. what is it that you keep doing that brings it back? you probably already know but have to come to terms with it on a higher level. also, you say you buried the people along with the situation & that is significant on 2 levels, 1. so you never actually dealt with the problem, you just (buried) ran away, whatever & hoped it would be fine. 2. You can't remove people from your life, you can only remove yourself from theirs. hope this helps, I know where you are coming from, I attempted suicide twice & I wasn't just playing around or calling for help. I REALLY should be dead. now along with the pain I have death stalking me. I feel like I'm in my own version of Final Destination.

well- I guess the first thing that needs to happen is for you to accept your role in what went down.
was that bad situation something that you caused? how much of that situation was in YOUR control? if you had done anything differently- would that have changed the outcome?
I am dealing with something vague here, so bear with me.
accept what happened, and whether the outcome was in your hands or not, accept what occurred- and the results. that is the first step, and take the pain.
once you have accepted the above, the pain will take time to go away, I am just guessing here- set aside time for the mourning process, but make a realistic assessment of a proper amount of time for mourning- doesn't have to be exact- just a simple timeframe to shoot for.
once that date is set- do what ever it is you need to do, mourn, accept your role in it, do the "WORK" that will enable you to get past this occurance.
and as that 'date" approaches- ask yourself if you are feeling a little bit better, and if you believe that the process is working- you might have to physically spell things out on a piece of paper- sort of a checklist- and hopefully when that set date comes you will have a piece of paper with a bunch of crossed out sentences on it.
and you will be strong enough to emotionally move on.
I would like to say that pain will eventually go away, but different things happen to each of us- we all react to painful things differently- but the largest common thread among us is that when dealing with painful times IS TO NOT BLAME YOURSELF- OR TAKE ANYTHING OUT ON YOURSELF. we are only human- we do make mistakes from time to time. my favorite saying that gets me through is ' It is not the mistake that is the true problem, but what we choose to do to fix that mistake"
if you continue to bulldog your way through this ( with your head held high) the pain will eventually go away- might be a week, a month, 4 years- it will eventually subside.
the big mistake people make is trying to rid themselves of pain by drinking alcohol, and possibly other drugs- BIG MISTAKE, it only numbs you, and when it wears off- the pain will most likely still be there- so beware of that path.
I hope this helps, like I said earlier, your question was sort of vague- so I just dropped back and punted (so to speak)
VISUALIZE PAIN OR DEATH AS AN INCARNATED BEING- AND VISUALIZE YOU STANDING UP TO IT AND KICKING IT SQUARELY IN THE SENSITIVE NETHER REGIONS!!

F*ck those people. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself. There is always going to be someone in your life, at one point or another, that is equivalent to a cancer. They're not worth your time or your suffering. Keep your head high.

Pain is stalking you because you still care.
