It might also appear that I speak religion constantly throughout my day, but the purpose of my blog is to express my love for Christ, or for my life, and the struggles that come with it. In person I am quite closed up about my religion, and then very open in my writing and amongst my fellow church goers. I am thankful for your advice! Thankyou for sharing your personal story with me. I have close friends who I call my family that have been the true supporters whilst I undergo my physical challenge. To them I release my anxious feelings. Holding on to God, though, has kept me from being completely miserable in thought. I'm pleased that you respect my views, as I do with yours. Do not worry too much about me, for I am blessed with various sources of comfort. You're correct, the medicine won't cure me, but it is meant to help calm my physical state, to decrease the amount of repression as you said. I've had to switch back and forth between anti depressants because of the suicidal effects. But I know I'm strong, and the fact that you have given me a piece of your wisdom lets me know I do need to take as much action as possible. Thankyou very much!Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309948150592112222.post-74270154859620864302009-02-13T06:20:00.000-08:002009-02-13T06:20:00.000-08:00Thanks for your response to my comment which you p...Thanks for your response to my comment which you posted to my blog, Jenn. I take note of what you say, but feel it belongs here on yours, so please don't be offended that I have deleted it from mine. I shall append it underneath this. Of course feel free to delete this on yours as you see fit!Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309948150592112222.post-71902454806015037152009-02-13T00:05:00.000-08:002009-02-13T00:05:00.000-08:00Jenn, I would like to share something with you. I ...Jenn, I would like to share something with you. I became very religious some years ago (1972) and within two years I was struck, mildly at first, with an illness called chronic fatigue syndrome, which I only got over in 2005. the biggest part of my cure was to understand in the deepest part of my body and mind that I had been suppressing emotion - something that I had done as a part of my spiritual attitude to life.<BR/><BR/>When we dedicate ourselves to an ideal we force ourselves to ignore or over-ride those parts of ourselves which don't conform to that ideal. Emotions are the body's messengers, and (though contrary to religious ideologies) the body is a lot wiser than the mind. Anger, fear, grief and other emotions can be processed easily enough by taking appropriate action. If we ignore them, they do, precisely as you indicate, erupt periodically like volcanoes.<BR/><BR/>There is a remedy as I found, both as a patient and later as a therapist for a short while. It is, in brief, to put your own needs first, and respect the wisdom of your body in not tolerating your head's efforts to impose some ideal behaviour upon it, which generates a tension and a repression.<BR/><BR/>The medication will not in any way cure you because it will just try to help your head ignore what is going on within you. The medication will try to assist the repression. I didn't want to worry about you, but I hope you will take appropriate action, sooner or later.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309948150592112222.post-32063984945230160302009-02-12T18:22:00.000-08:002009-02-12T18:22:00.000-08:00AHHHH EPHESIANS 6 HAS BEEN ON MY HEART TOOOOOO!!!w...AHHHH EPHESIANS 6 HAS BEEN ON MY HEART TOOOOOO!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>warriors for Christ with His armor only, we are protected!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>DECLARE IN JESUS' NAME THAT THE ENEMY IS DEFEATED!!! <BR/><BR/>i'm glad we are sisters :)<BR/><BR/>i love my sisters and pray for them and fight with them!Sykes Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719943036099504352noreply@blogger.com
