I thought i was having a pretty good day today but maybe I was just fooling myself.
Anyway, I can acknowledge my pain without having to be miserable but I've done it for so long, I really have such a long way to go. I need to try to be patient with myself & not expect to change everything over night.
I guess I'll be struggling for the rest of my life & just saying that makes the tears come... why is it so hard to be human?

I just read your topic and cringed inside for you. This disease causes such horrible feelings and our bodies take it all in and hurt too.
I remember the horrible anxiety I did not think would ever go away. That heaviness, the doom feeling.
Will never forget looking out to the South mountains and surrendering to hp. Just humbling myself and letting it all go. It took a long time, but after awhile I felt and live The surrendering all the time. I sortof take a deep breath and breath out the pain.
When I would feel that horrible pain in my gut, I would remember to let go, give it to hp. I know it is easier said than done. But I promise, in time it really does work. Ya have to keep going, keep letting the pain go.
Do what you can each day. Talk to hp all the time. If you can rest, do so. This pain takes so much out of us.
I am so sorry you hurt. let people love you, it will help. keep coming here and letting it out.
Thanks for your post. Pain and tears is the beginning of healing. I remember a time when things were so crazy that I had no feelings.... only numbness. A time of chaos and insainity. Be gentle with yourself. Be patient. Learn to love you. Work on you , you are worth it.
