AzariaC7 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 To me, my severe anxiety is hell to me. I have been experiencing trauma lately that I can even collapse in fear on the floor or something. I apologize for all this hell talk. Just wondering what Hell is for you.

Lilith666 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 In short, Hell is loving someone with depression and suicidal tendencies and not knowing how far she's going to make it. I hope your anxiety gets better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenstar Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hell is 40,000 children starving to death every day when there is enough food in the world to feed everyone. Hell is people killing each other over ideologies. Hell is the lack of hope because a few elite hoard their wealth while others suffer. Hell is bullying because someone is different. Hell is the fear that there is 'not enough'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jds22 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Any time I'm around my super fundy, end of the world, sexist, bigoted, Fox News lovin', in-laws. Which reminds me, I will be in hell Sunday afternoon when they come over to see my son before he goes to London for college. So I'll get to listen to them bash higher education and London at the same time. As for the other members that have real problems, unlike my whining above, my heart goes out to you and I'm sorry you are hurting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryG Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hell is millions of parents teaching their children about the "God of love" by keeping them under threat of said god sending them to eternal torment for the slightest infraction. Depression -- that's hell, too. Been there and ache for anyone who's there now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerk Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 To me, my severe anxiety is hell to me. I have been experiencing trauma lately that I can even collapse in fear on the floor or something. I apologize for all this hell talk. Just wondering what Hell is for you. In short, Hell is loving someone with depression and suicidal tendencies and not knowing how far she's going to make it. I hope your anxiety gets better. I was going to say that hell is living with my wife's anxiety and depression and suicidal tendencies. Her insomnia makes it worse. Tuesday she called me at work and, at one point, told me she wouldn't hurt herself because she was afraid of going to hell. I left work early, to say the least. By the time I got home, though, she really seemed okay. I can just never tell when she's going to be okay or when she isn't. I hope you can find a solution for your anxiety, Azaria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midniterider Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Whether to drive the Jaguar or the Lexus? Pure hell. Just kidding. I really drive a 13 year old car. :-) For me Hell is to: 1. Allow some anxiety causing idea from your imagination to hatch. 2. Start believing it's true and then worrying about it because we all know there can only be ONE bad outcome from it. 3. Forget that it isn't real and then make this false idea become the apocalypse in your head. 4. Extra credit: Dont allow yourself to think of the future beyond when this horrible thing occurs.

amateur Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If either of my children were to be killed, that would be hell. Reading about things like that or hearing it in the news is hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurari Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I agree with everyone on their perceptions of Hell. I'll add the Hell is watching your loved ones suffer and there is not a damned thing you can do to help them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzariaC7 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks Mistertwo & Lilith666 and to all the others, I thought I'd get ignored. Hahah. I agree with MerryG, mymistake, Ravenstar, and others, too. I guess we all do have our own hells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceWoman Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 My husband says the church we were most recently members of was "hell on earth." He watched as they used and abused me and my time and talents, hours and hours every week for several years, but then they turned their back on me when I was treated rudely and unfairly -- and I had the nerve to complain about it. Suddenly I was being discussed in secret meetings, not knowing who was with me and who was against me.. all those people "filled with the holy spirit and the love of Christ"... all those people who repeatedly told me they "love me deeply" and what a blessing I am to the congregation... The hell was not knowing who my friends were, reliving every conversation over and over in my head, praying my heart out with no relief, berating myself for not knowing what I should have done differently... constant noise in my head. The music ministry, into which I had poured my heart and soul, and which had been such a source of joy for me for so many years, was being taken away from me. And then came the trial before the elders and the nasty letter telling me how evil I am. (This, only a few months after the head elder had told me what a blessing I was, and another elder told me he was my biggest fan, and another elder told me how much she loves and respects me, and another elder... and another elder... and on and on...) Long story short, to answer your question... Organized religion is hell to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolaida Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Grief is probably Hell, no matter what you're grieving- be it the loss of a human life, a pet, or the loss of friendship, a relationship, you're view of the world, etc. Those parts of life always seem hellish. But it makes the good parts of life really worth it, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceWoman Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Well said, Kolaida. Your post sums up my post directly above yours... I was grieving so many losses ay one time. Hell, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 At first, hell was the ultimate fear. The most terrible ending that my soul could face. An eternal existence of hopeless agony. Then, I realized it was an unjust punishment. No crime capable of humanity is worth an eternity of torture. With this realization, the fear faded and I found peace.(Biblical definition) Mental/Emotional hell? (My opinion).Loving someone so greatly, and realizing they are ever so close to dying the next day. Knowing you will lose them, and there is no way to save them.Out of this hell, there comes a heaven. An appreciation of life, and the desire to show your loved one the best every second you are with them. -----Social hell? (Opinion)That one is hard to explain... I would say whatever follows the rejection of reason and science.Confused uneducated society creates a hell within itself.An educated rational society creates a heaven on earth. I believe we are in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardus Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I can think of a number of "hells". Being trapped in a religion is truly one of the worst. Watching others trapped in one and knowing they are beyond reach is something of one. Losing friends and family to religion is damned bad. Depression (and other mental illness) is horrible.

wanderinstar Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So many great descriptions of 'hell'. I am so glad the eternal hell fires do not exist cause that would be, well, hell. For me hell is a bipolar mixed episode (depressed and very, very agitated with racing, crazy thoughts instead of euphoric mania). During this time there can be days when i cannot guarantee I wont harm myself, cause I just can't think straight, or control the monster inside me. It is pure hell to no longer be able to trust your own mind. I really feel for those who have loved ones with suicidal tendencies and depression; I have seen that torment in the eyes of my loved ones when i am really unwell. Another hell. There are so many horrible things going on in this world it is hard to know where to stop but anything that involves hurt to children speaks pure 'evil' to me. I was abused as a child and can say I lived in hell for those years where no one protected me and I had nowhere to run too. I weep for the hundreds of thousands of children trapped in similar circumstances at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesususedpeyote Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Life is hell. Being alone, and nobody seems to care. I'm not conventionally attractive, so my whole being is considered insignificant or just not-important to people. Nobody wants to hear from the ugly people. Too bad their souls are even uglier...
