Re: want to give up

[Guest guest]

Hello Joanne ~

I am so sorry you are having such a rough time of it.

The depression that goes with feeling so bad

is really so very hard too.

You know, when I get that feeling that God has given

me more than I can handle, somehow things change........

I have been at that point many times, ready to throw in

the towel.......and then, somehow I move into change......

The gentleman that doesnt understand.........I am sorry

he doesnt, I know that makes it hard on you......but it also

tells you what type person he would be in the elder years....

You know, some people just dont understand illness at all,

I think in part because they have had a healthy life.

My father took a mild anti-depressent for sleep after

my mom passed, and he took it for a couple years. It was

called trazadone. It didnt seem to give him side effects,

and when he went off of it, it did not cause any weird

reactions.

Sometimes we just need help, and dont feel bad for it.....

sleep is so important in maintaining health, and moreso

when you are trying to obtain health, I think it would

be more benefit for you to try something than to

struggle, and swim backwards.

You just went through a long period of very stressful

weeks with your folks. Your father being so ill, and not

recovering as planned, and no help from your siblings....

I am sure careing for them, and having to put them both

in a nursing home was not a piece of cake.

I find that weather changes make me feel so bad and there

is alot of changes going on right now....maybe that is not helping

you either.

I get the full body burning too. Sometimes it is so bad I cant

stand anyone to touch me, and sometimes I cant even stand air

to touch me, I have to cover totally up with only a peep hole to

see out of.......very strange..........

Try to do some things that make you laugh, listen to some

music you really like....paint.........or draw how you feel.....

Get some butcher paper, and some paint that washes off, and

step into paint and walk on the butcher paper.......let it dry

inbetween, and do all kinds of colors..........and it can be your

dance ~

Your plate has been very full, the stress of it all may just

be catching up with you.......you pulled out all your strength

while at your parents, now you need to rest some and realize

life.....and just be.

I hope you start to feel better. I am sorry you are in a

rough spot. I hope the sun starts to shine for you !

Love

Thanks Dede,

Every day I feel a little more life coming back into me. I over did it

to the max! So much emotion in so little time. My life changed so much

since going on this diet and I got energy back that I never thought I

would. But healing candida has its ups and downs and the downs are

really hard to take. It is all part of the healing process. I would

like to know what the burning sensation is and if it will ever go

away. I believe that it is trapped silicone. A few years ago I

remember feeling like the circulation in my arms was being cut off.

So, the fact that it is only a burning sensation now(and not

everyday), I should be grateful.

Never the less, I bought some minerals today in case it is a mineral

dificiency. Always looking for the easy way out. I am so sick of

detoxing, detoxing and more detoxing. I am sick of coffee enemas and

foot baths. I am sick of sleepless nights and strict diets and yet I

still trust God and know that He has a plan.

Sometimes I think it would be easier if I had a husband and sometimes

I think not. Who can put up with all this? I did dump the guy, Dede.

There are some out there who actually care and I have to believe that.

Thanks again for you endless support (all of you)

Love,

Joanne

Dear Joanne,

Oh dear one, I'm sorry you had a terrible night! Please don't give up,

and please don't let this break up bring you down. It is sad to

experience the end of a relationship, and I am sorry that this guy did

not understand your needs....Many times even when we are married our

men do not understand our needs! I've been there with my husband!

I used to let it bother me, but I've found sweet release in

recognizing that there is nobody on this planet who will ever

understand me or my needs like my Lord does. He lets me be myself and

knows my failures and my needs and my struggles and he loves me so

much just the way I am.

And the Lord loves you and knows your need better than anyone else

can. Better than any man you may meet. It's hard when you are alone

and just want someone to BE there, for the presence of another

breathing human body in the same room with you, but at those times I

just close my eyes in prayer and remember that I can put myself in the

presence of the LORD anytime I want...I hope you will find that

presence to be as fulfilling as anyone else's may be, and heal from

this break up as quickly as you can.

I'm sorry it has taken so long for you to start feeling better. The

burning sensation may be a sign of a neuropathy...have you had that

checked out? Stress can bring on more signs of neuropathy, and any

other symptoms of autoimmune conditions that we may struggle with. Any

trauma to our lives can make those symptoms flare up suddenly, and

that is why it is so important to know how to respond well to stress.

I don't think a sleep aid will be too awful to take if it gives you a

full night's sleep. Lack of sleep can bring on a whole new set of

symptoms, associated with fibromyalgia, and you don't want that either.

I am quite certain that some of our group members in the past have

used sleeping aids carefully and with success. Hopefully you will

hear from them. I myself have only tried Valerian root a few times,

but generally have not needed it. How about melatonin? Magnesium

before bedtime is also relaxing to all the muscles.

I don't blame you for being sick of all this....but please don't give

up. You've come a long way!

Are you working full time again?

Hugs,

Patty
