How do you guys handle the immense amounts of pain felt? I have scorp moon conjunct Pluto in the 8th house and I’ve been having a hard time transforming the pain I feel inside lately. Redirection helps for a little while, but I can’t seem to stop obsessing about the things that have hurt me.

Im trying so hard not to be destructive. Im trying to change and respond rather than react, but it seems like this is the hardest thing in the world to do. Journaling helps sometimes, and I try to ground myself.

Why does everything have to hurt so bad? I saw the quote “pain is unavoidable but suffering is chosen” or something along those lines. How to stop dwelling and creating my own suffering?
