Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hello Joanne It does seem that god sends us people who bring us back on track or bring us joy. What I have learned that people need time and need to go through their emotions. It is like when someone dies you need to go through all the emotions. It is great he has you to come home to live. It is always good to have a safe place. Try to get him out for a walk when he is feeling low or ask for his help in something physical. Men do best when they are moving. At least he was not married to her before she broke his heart. I am sorry to hear that you have nightmares. One thing I do is picture either a log cabin or a garden before I go to sleep and while I am trying to sleep I then fix up the log cabin or decide what plants and fountains etc in the garden and before you know it I am asleep and dreaming of a beautiful garden near a lake..etc I always find when you share with someone they too have something to share.

He can so very easily take himself off to wonderful places in his mind and heart and dwell there. It is as if his mind is made up of mainly good things. Alas, I cannot claim this. There is a lot of crazy stuff still goes on with my mind especially when I sleep. It is like I am strong when I am concious but when I close my eyes that is when the dark powers appear. Sad thing is that when I am asleep my mind loops, on these bad things and I have no control over this. I can sometimes remeber it, or I awake with it, but I know anyway if this has happened because I am far more slower and sad when I awake I use a lot of music, scripture, imagery and creative activities to concur this. It is not always easy. Well it is easy a lot of the time but in winter I do find it harder Watching certain dramas help, they help me release some of my inner thoughts, but it is still a bit hard for me to deal with this stuff since my mind has a way of denying its significance until I sleep. Also, I do not like talking about this stuff because sometimes talking about it feeds it Today as I shopped I met a lady who was happy to listen to my woes so I just said a few things about the cost of living and how things are getting over here and stuff like this and she too shared her views on stuff. Next I told her a little about my family and how by my son returning home a few things from my past were being triggered. My son has the voice of his father but the attitude of my dad and when I here him speak sometimes he reminds me of them. He is not happy about this fall out with his girlfriend and is in some ways setting the mood of the house, which reminds me of my mother, and the list goes on I was telling this lady about how all this was getting in on my head and making me feel glum and that glumness is not good for me because I have the fibro and the nightmares and how all this can if I let it lead to me walking the wrong path I told her about our group and how the diet had set me free from carb addiction and other addictions and that although I new I was nowhere near any of them problems my thought patterns were heading that way I told her that I was frustrated because my son is home and his manner and subject matter is raising stuff inside of me that I dont want to be dealing with right now, and to avoid hearing any more of it I have come out of the house but ever since I have been in the supermarket I keep thinking about how it is wrong to just walk away from somebody you care about and how wrong I was for not staying home and listening to him, I even said I then get thinking my son might commit suicide, which I really do know he will not but these thoughts are in my mind The lady listened I warbled and warbeled and warbled and got it all off my chest, and then she said I am a recovering alcoholic, I am a member of a support group where we use the 12 steps, and we hear many stories like this daily. LOL, I was blown away. I just hugged her and said, God has sent you here to me today. She was a bit shocked at my sudden joy. No no no I said you do not understand I needed this more than anything today and it has happened. I am OK now. I am at the library and I am going to look up my image stuff on youtube Just wanted to share this with you Love Joanne Hi Joanne There is so much to thinking about your healing and esp your brain. I know I still have some brain damage from my stroke. The doctors say they expect a full recovery and I do as well. I often think about my brain healing. I also love to look at plant catalogs and dream about my dream garden. I know many people who have used imaging to heal for cancer. I am sure both of us will heal our brains with the diet, imaging and positive thinking. I just spoke with a coworker today who reached out to see how I was doing. I told them what happened at least from my perspective and that I have to have the brain procedure in Jan but I am glad that we have a plan and I expect to be back to my old self and hopefully pain free. I asked how he was doing and he said he had quite the year too but nothing like what was going on with me and he felt so blessed. I told him I feel blessed as well. I did not mean for my sharing to sound like I was woeful. I guess people just put their own feelings on how they think they would feel. We have such a fast pace stressful job that it must be hard for them to imagine having to take time to heal. But I dont fret over it. One other thing I do is play games on http://www.gamesforthebrain.com/game/mahjongg/ I love the mahjongg game but there are lots of games that are fun and they are all free!

Physically my brain had trouble and still does have trouble seeing the positve. It never used to be like this even when I was stressed I still could imagine, and see better than my currentl situation, but now, since the PTSD event, the main event the big one, my mind struggles with the abstract and if I am having flashbacks will not produce healing images This is why I have to seek them out and use them with different situations and opportunities This guided imagery is of cells healing and it is something I use with meditation to try to speak to my immune system and remind her that she can get me well I am pretty certain I have damaged important parts o my brain where the programs, i you like to call it that, where the programs needed to simply create these loving healing images. So now I dig them out and watch a variety daily. this helps a lot and it can be enhanced by using the NLP and EFT from Mckenna CDs or other CDs that cover this suject. Dr Mercola also covers this on his site love Joanne ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Thursday, 15 December 2011, 1:50 Subject: Re: dr visit yesterday Thank you I will try it I have a torn AC and RT cuff in my left which is odd because I am right handed and torn RT cuff on my right shoulder. I used to play softball and tennis and I know I hurt my right shoulder almost years ago playing tennis. But at the time everyone was telling me not to have surgery. I just stopped playing tennis and would sometimes play my husband because he is a beginner and I knew it would not get competitive I think when my husband was working in another state and I started to have to do more physical stuff and then I moved some furniture with my dad that it messed up my left side. My shoulder doctor wont operate until my head stuff is addressed so he wont kill me during surgery. I would prefer not to have surgery at all but Physical Therapy and Massage made it so much worse Thank you for the tip Ciao- Ange ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Wed, December 14, 2011 2:00:50 PM Subject: Re: dr visit yesterday I dont know if this of any use to you, but my husbands brother has frozen shoulder and he uses this http://www.penetrex.com/ My husband uses it for his back and his pain is very much relieved with it. Love Joanne said........................ I still need shoulder surgery in both shoulders. I hope next summer to be able to swim again. I hope you are able to get enough protein from your diet. Beans for some people are hard to digest. Do you do the Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
