How do we move on?

Moving on is one of the hardest things to do for some people. Some peope just can't move on. We experience pain. More on some days, less on others. But we as humans experience all emotions that we were allowed to have. Abstract nouns become our life at times. Love, Hate, Justice. We live each day trying to succeed (at least some of us do). We live each day trying to live. The loss of a loved one. The loss of a friendship. The loss of a relationship. The loss of a career. The loss of a home. The loss of a child. The loss of game. The loss of a world to be had. Starring up to the moon at night, holding yourself tight as water showers you, holding your hair as you lean over a toilet, taking a knife and stabbing a pillow, standing in a room and screaming, talking to someone, to anyone. Do we really ever get over pain if we are a lucky one able to believe we have moved on?

Alcohol, drugs, bulimia, anorexia, cutting, suicide--these are the ones that don't move on. Instead of learning to deal, they suppress their thoughts, their feelings. No one is let in, no one can help. "The first step to recovery is stating that you have a problem", yet sometimes people don't have the courage, the ability to see that they have a problem, so no, they do not help themselves or allow others to help. Chaos takes over their brains. Nothing rational can get in. Do they survive, or do they just drift through life without a cane to help them walk?
