I did not find any groups, in my area that helped deal with my pain. I wanted a way to deal with it, or remove it from my life, NOT hearing about how everyone else was tired, sick, depressed and so on. So I went and found out all kinds of information on my own.

I have used with great sucess: Aromatherapy, changing my eating habits, heat therapy meditaion, light exercise, Shamhalla multi-dimensional healing, crystal healing, Chakra balancing and positive attitude.

The attitude was the hardest! Getting out of the "I am depressed, because I am in pain, and in pain because I am depressed" circle was difficult. I gave up on whole days, years ago. I even went to 15 min increments. Then gradually went up to hours, then a portion of the day ( before breakfast, then after breakfast, until lunch... etc) and now, years later I am on full days. I am still fighting pain, it has not gone away. But now I can look at it differently. More... "ohhh.. did a bit too much yesterday, and am very sore, so today I will work on the computer, have a bath, and mellow." This is not something I should do to deal... its my JOB, in order to bounce back.

My faith in the Goddess, and knowing she will not give me anything I can not handle in one way shape or form, remembering my mood DOES effect my children and deciding to enjoy this life has helped me. I hope.. in time, something you stumble across, will allow you to have the relief from pain enough to enjoy what this life has to offer you. Your posts are usually quite enjoyable, and I hope something someone offers helps you deal with the hand this life has dealt you.
