RE: What has caused you the most pain?
One other trip that haunts me . Was the time i went ice fishing with a friend of my grandmother . Eventually we both had to go to the bathroom . Since he was old and his bladder could not hold out so he went out first . But he did not come back  . So i  went out to find him . Only to see a trail of red in the snow and a set of tracks . Turns out we were being stalked by Nanuk (Polar Bear) . And if i had been the first to go out i would likely have been taken instead.

But if were talking about real emotional pain i would say my mothers murder is hands down it . But i rather not talk about that really .

And i would say losing most of my friends to Drugs or Alcohol or Suicide( A common plague in the north) and then seeing there sons or daughters go the same way . Has been quite painful . A whole near two generations lost . Sad

But despite all the gloom . I'm still optimistic . I think the next generation of inuit will be better . I think the cycle can be broken .

I never knew you were inuit.  May I ask whose borders were thrown out around the place you were born?

Physical: when I had my teeth whitened via laser. It hurt like hell during the procedure and after (lasting a couple days). It felt like sudden nails scratching at my teeth every now and then.

Mentally: Being ostracized by peers, especially during teenage years. Also, repeated unapologetic abuse from my father, until I assertively distanced myself away from him, first emotionally, then physically.

Physical: The first few days with braces. My teeth were more crooked than Richard Nixon.

Emotional: The death of my grandmother, the death of a friend who'm a I saw as an aunt, learning my grandfather has dementia and not being there when my girlfriend was in a car-accident.

(December 30, 2017 at 4:29 pm)Die Atheistin Wrote: Religion. I grew up in a moderate christian family but was thaught in school the fundamentalist way. I broke free at 13 years with help from a friend of dad's. One year later I told my parents about my experience in school and they told me they don't believe in Hell. Years later I started to question the existence of God and finally became an atheist at the age of 17. One day I asked my mom: "Why do we need to pray? Will God not help us if we don't?", she replied: "No, but it gives you positive energy." "But there's no evidence for a God" "No, but it makes you happy to imagine that a God and angels protect you". I was already an atheist before that conversation and I didn't suffer from it, so I'm NOT returning to Christianity. Also, WTF? All of this, the brainwashing the confusion about what my parents believe, my broken heart when I found I was brainwashed and possible existential crisis. All of this could have been prevented if she told me exactly what she believes before or during the time I was in school.
If you wanna run away from reality and indoctrinate me from the moment I'm born to do the same, then at the very least tell me what you believe when I'm in my first years of childhood, not when I'm almost an adult and I ask you to tell me. Otherwise don't expect me to think like you.
I also remember that I was never a big fan of going to church or praying, not even in kindergarten. At that time I didn't understand what are all rituals for, why were all people in church crossing themselves, kneeling, praying, lightning candles, kissing icons. I didn't understand much of what the preist said (now I understand and I wish I didn't). Most of all, I didn't understand why we were forced to eat bread and wine. I was orthodox and I hated the Eucharist. There were real pieces of bread soaked in wine. The priest fed them to us with spoons. Granted, there were 2 spoons and each of them was put in a glass of water after getting in someones mouth, but still. 
I am glad I became an atheist but wish I didn't go through all this pain.
I wanted to type "I'm NOT returning to Christianity".

Physical: An abscess in my molar which I couldn't get treated for five days. (A close second: I had this horrible neck spasm when I was 16. If I so much as wiggled one of my toes it sent shockwaves of pain through my whole body. I just tried to be as motionless as possible.)

Emotional: I ain't sayin'. Trust me, it's sad.

RE: What has caused you the most pain?
Yeah, I'm currently enduring a herpes outbreak on my neck that is involving nerves up the back of my neck behind my right ear, up my skull and down to my collarbone.  Sad Time for more codeine. I can't even yell FUCK THIS HURTS! fuck this hurts
