Re: Feeling Low Again/Caitlin

[Guest guest]

Caitlin, I'm so sorry your feeling low again. Sometimes I go and look in the

mirror and give myself an affirmation. I tell myself I'm a good person, or even

tell myself I'm pretty!! The affirmations do me well, maybe you could give it a

try?!

I am feeling low. My pain levels these last two months have sky-rocketed and it

seems to only be getting worse.

Hi Cathlin, I know my pain levels is rising also and Im beginning to really

worry. MY doctor put me on Lexapro for the anxiety and depession. When I read

your post about your little girl doing that it brought a big smile to my face!!

What a blessing children are.

Caitlin,

That's a wonderful idea. My pain psychologist told me to post notes

around to correct posture, relax the muscles, and remember to

breathe. (I forget to breathe or breathe too shallow when I'm

involved with anything, it's silly.) It makes a big difference for

me. I shall litter my apartment with post it notes with affirmations

and reminders!

I think my daughter would benefit from the affirmations as well.

It's been harder on her these past few weeks that I've flared up,

especially after seeing me get better for a while. She's been

complaining constantly about aches and pains all over lately, and I'm

wondering if it is because she sees me 'beaten down' all of the

time. Nothing has been consistant, so her doctor has not been

consulted regarding that.

I'm interested in hearing how others talk to their young children

about their condition. I'm afraid to tell her I'll get better

someday and be wrong. I want to be positive, and realistic, but

there are too many unknowns.

Best wishes,

Jackie

LOL! That's cute! I'm glad your daughter was repeating the affirmations,

though. It's good to be positive influences I try to be a positive

influence to our neice and nephews.
