How to eradicate emotional pain?

I'm here and I FeEL YoU I am soooo very simular. I can relate. I met someone who told me you must just live for today. Yesterday is gone and no one can predict the future. This person stuck by me for 2 years helping me stay in the here and now. Some days were a minute at a time. Like tiny baby steps. Don't allow yourself to drift Away into the past, don't think about regrets and don't drift into the what ifs or what's going to happen next. Just stay in today and do as much as is possible. Try to keep your self busy even in little things. Just think about now, ToDaY. Don't DrIfT aWaY. Do what you can, don't worry about any one else. Just do what you can with ToDaY. 4 years have passed and that person I met who helped me, Married me 12-22-10. Just take care of you, that is what you need. I had sufFered greatly emotionally, mentally and physically and I still do. AND I still LivE for only ToDaY. And if you need Meds to help you sleep than that is what you need. I suffered years without, but couldn't take the pain any longer. You'll see, Just concern yourself with today. God will continue to give you strenght and courage. Keep your faith alive. Blessings and Love.
