I’m the only one who is suffering. I do something wrong because I’m still suffering. I can’t deal with the suffering. The suffering is too heavy. I need to suffer so I will know what to change in life. If I don’t suffer I won’t be part of the group. If I don’t suffer no one will help and take care of me anymore. If I don’t suffer people will loose interest in me!
