Hi SoulNHealing,
UR signature on UR last post really touched a nerve with me. I have had to scrape myself up from the bottom of the barrel too many times in my years thru out life.
I have experienced the severe issues u mentioned. Too many losses, & stress of all kinds can take a toll...mentally & physically. My heart goes out to u and the many others who feel stuck & trapped in this merri-go-round yet have hope for a way out. It's different for everyone! It all leads to anger, frustration and pain. Even some forums have bullies that pick on some for saying the wrong thing regardless of the forum rules... even though the posters intentions were to show support, bullies find a way to hurt & belittle. I have seen it happen on many health support forums over & over. As if most are members for health issues as it is & yet negativity is always one word away....I really feel guarded with every word in print on any forum after what I have seen on other forums. PLZ understand I hope that I come across as positive & supportive. I am not that good at words as I am a picture person... I believe a picture is worth 1000 words. No pics allowed here. So I am limited to what I can say!
I read that u are looking for a solution for ur issues. This is truly from my heart & from my slow painful experiences & processes, I wish to share. There are no pills or medications to make it better, in my case the side effects & labeling was worse. I took the same meds as u described plus more & never seemed to kick the feelings of sadness, loss, dispair, anger etc... U name it!
I have have had some success in foods...eating clean no sugar, no refined foods all fresh and little red meats... u know the drill...
No meds they make me feel worse. I thought they helped but in reality the meds I was taking all typically prescribed for stress, anxiety, sleep, pain....kept me in denial and dependent on meds.
Then palates, mix it up, finding fav things U can do, that was tricky due to severe arthritis yet I found many fun things I like again. The clouds slowly lifted!
Watch fun happy comedies.
Only positive friends.
Fun emails, you tube, inspiring sayings, & poems online .
Wonderful pets to ease everything.
Just keep movin.... Some how it all comes together. I may have lost some things due to health & age but slowly my mind has over come the old patterns or...retrained if u will, new pathways in my stubborn brain for a better stronger emotional attitude, then the physical follows. I have 1/2 cup full most days, on the rest....it's just a bumpy ride. Chocolate, DARK kind , ( it's good for u) , REALLY HELPS ! LOL...
I hope many who suffer from these & other issues can take control & share their ideas to change a "Cloudy Day", into a Sunny Day to remain calm, find outlets & little by little I pray peace will follow.
Peace, LUV & Healing.
