I Am Working On My Mental,emotional And Physical Health

This is my planet, but not my society. I've been dealing with chronic physical pain for almost 8 years now, but mental and emotional pain, all my life. I have therapists who are doing their best, but my physical condition has the doctors and therapists stumped. I've been seen by someone who's world renown with my condition, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, who says the origin of the condition is not known and no one knows what to do about it. That's not a very promising prognosis. My mental and emotional condition wasn't the greatest to begin with - with what's going on in the world, politically, socially, economically, environmentally - but now, with this unending physical pain, with no sign or plan of relief, I'm thinking it's really not worth being here at all. I have very little quality life, and I'm really, really tired.

I can relate. I too had a painful condition the doctors could never explain. There's a small paragraph in the medical journals about my condition that put me on disability years ago, I even had some surgery. I take a muscle relaxer and weed helps some too. Don't give up! 🙂

Thanks, Peaches. I'm doing what I can with what I have. It's frustrating when the doctors are wrong (but still charge like they're right). Muscle relaxers and weed help a bit, but I would rather address the cause than the expressions. I DO seem to be getting a bit better, though. Thank you for your encouragement.

@sophrai: Yes, I was scared sh!t-less when the doctors were baffled by my condition too?!😮 Mine started back in the mid 80's and I had surgery that they don't even do now, but it helped relieve some of the pain at the time, so I'm not complaining! I use to take lots of pain pills but didn't like the side effects. Hang in there, I get my joy from smiling faces and nature. Stay away from as much negativity as you can❣👍🏼💫🍀🕊

@Peaches: Sorry for all the pain you've had to endure. I now what it's like to have chronic pain. It's the worst. Years ago, I begged the doctors to do surgery to remove what they thought was causing the pain. They refused, saying it would be considered "mutilation," since it wasn't malignant. I'm going to be looking for more smiling faces and take more walks in nature. Also, staying away from negativity as much as I can, is a great suggestion. Thanks. Do you ever thing you'll be "normal?" I have my doubts I'll ever be. But, there's always hope.

@sophrai: As normal as "normal" can be, haha!😉👍🏼 I get by with a little help from my friends and just try to stay positive and in the "now." I also love people with humor, it helps more than words can say❣🍀 People not being able to see my disability helps too. We all know how judgemental people can be. Think of the people that are rootin' for ya and [b]smile💓🙂[/b]
