Re: Feeling all alone!

[Guest guest]

Hi Vernissa,

I'm new to this group but unfortunately not to chronic pain or the loneliness

it creates. I was injured in a car wreck back in 03 and believe it or not I'm

still fighting the legal battles from that original accident!

Pain is a miserable monster that when it becomes chronic makes a massive change

not only in the person who's injured but in all the people in their family, all

the people they meet and everybody else they come in contact with because when

you suffer from pain 24/7 it not only effects your body and mind but it changes

the way a person walks and talks.

I was keeping a daily journal for a long time last year but for me the longer I

went the worse I started to feel because the entries were making me upset as I

was writing them. Make sure that you keep your outlet that helps you feel more

like a " normal " person because that is a balance point for you.

In my case my only outlet is to still be able to ride my Motorcycle. I pay for

it the next day by more pain but it helps me to clear the crap out of my head.

Above all else if you can do the journal without problems then of course keep

doing it but make sure that you keep a balancing outlet or you may end up making

yourself feel worse in the long run while you're trying to make yourself feel

better.

Hi again and Take Care and God Bless.

depressed and I don't know what to do anymore. The only time I feel good

physically and emotionally is when I'm at my church service. Maybe if my faith

was as strong as it used to be,  I could withstand everything that's going on.

Anybody feel the way I do?
