Mental health is horrible

@LittleTinks Absolutely, I read that as well, but it sure doesn't help us by doing that. At times it can feel like it's our worst enemy unless we exercise control.

Two people in our family have fibromyalgia and it's not all in the mind. I have suffered a bit with it and the pain was just excruciating but sometimes it is stress that causes it and the person can't help it, or like my daughter, my other daughter, she was in an accident and has suffered for it ever since. There are certain things we can do to control pain yes but some of these poor people have terrible immune systems from a poor diet or whatever but it's definitely not their fault. That is the worst kind of pain anyone could experience, from that or a terrible immune system. And yes trauma is a terrible trigger for fibromyalgia. I believe therapy can help tremendously. Great job with your boyfriend! However, there are many causes for fibromyalgia and for the pain that I have gone through I have worked to get to the root of the problem and find natural medications that can heal. Otherwise, my pain would be off the roof and I would be crying out and unable to sleep every night but I do know that God help me get through that as I asked him to and I asked him to help me know what to take, what natural medicine to take to stop that kind of pain and he did. And without my faith, I would not have been able to walk again but with each step, I kept repeating, "By His stripes, I am healed" and "nothing is impossible with God" and I started walking again, so yes, mentality means everything, as well as faith.

@LadyGrace yes fibromyalgia is horrible i have a few friends who have it one takes lots of medication and the other manages without because she meditates, changed her diet and tried to keep calm.. I think fibromyalgia is trauma trapped in the body that causes pain, my friend who doesn’t take medication has worked on a lot of her trauma and says she has hardly any pain now unless she eats crap or gets stressed she still had a long way to go and a lot of trauma she needs to work on where as the other friend suffers badly even on medication she doesn’t address her traumas I think she keeps them buried but she does have a lot of stress in her life with two daughters with mental health and fibro so that’s why hers will continue to be bad bless her. I have read many books on healing ourselves I also follow Joe dispenza I don’t know if you have read his books so I have no doubt that we can heal our mind, body and soul it just depends on how much work we want to put in. Don’t get me wrong I suffer with a bad back and some days I’m in pain but when I think about why I have this pain I suddenly realise it’s be because my thoughts have become negative and that’s when i meditate or go for a walk or sometimes breath work helps! I’m so grateful as well I feel that plays a huge part on helping you to stay happy and in a positive mind I’m grateful down to the smallest things and journal a lot to keep my mind positive!

@LittleTinks Yes, physical and mental therapy do go hand in hand in healing, and much prayer.

@Pinkstarburst sorry to hear that I know what you mean like with type of bipolar the brain doesn’t work like it should as I know!!

At least it works for you I just realised I was better off without them I spent most my days sleeping and eating it was ridiculous I tell ya I wasn’t living I was existing.

I love life now I have so much appreciation for everything in it.

@Pinkstarburst So very well said.

@JoyfulSilence omg you poor thing I hope your ok now? That’s a lot of problems and medication bless ya 🤗

@LittleTinks

I think I will be a little messed up, especially my neck, for life. Sigh.

Body is falling apart.

@Sazzio That is such good news, and I'm so happy for your friend, but I would still rather see Physicians address the root of the problem instead of masking it with drugs.

@Sazzio that’s good to hear I guess it depends on the person and the strength of the medication.. some people are too deep and become dependent on the medication.

@RoxClymer oh I tried every medication going because they couldn’t find the right combination with me but I was on antipsychotic medication as well because I have bipolar but my weight started when I started matazapine that’s a drug that makes you want to eat and eat but they had to keep adding to it to help with bad thoughts etc but because I was on so many it caused more problem within my body and drs tried to tell me it wasn’t the medication but I ah e proved it was as since being off them all I been healthy and had no problems lol.. I didn’t feel the medication helped with my mental health all it did was make me sleep and feel like a zombie i feel like I lost a lot of my kids growing up as my husband had to do everything for me 😔

@LadyGrace I see many people like your daughter who are in worse state after starting medication.. I hope your daughter finds her way out my lovely x

@LittleTinks Yes, but she only uses her faith in God and natural medicine and she's doing wonderfully, thanks to God and his help.

@Justmeraeagain that is so true and these medical companies wouldn’t be rich lol

@ineedadrink I felt they just made me like a zombie I wasn’t living I was just existing 😔 and with the other issues it made me even more depressed tbh but glad they help your wife 🥰

@Julien love that song!!
