I feel like I am on a roller coaster. I am overly tired but yety cant sleep... so confused, tonight i am laying in bed not able to sleep knowing i need to and just want the pain to end. Not just the physical but the mental too....I hope my counselor calls me on Monday....tonight has been really bad......thoughts i havent had in years have been fighting thoughts that are hard to get out of my mind.

I am taking strong meds for physical pain, but yet i am in so much pain some days that I can barely function.....I just donel know what to do.... I am so connfused, tired and just plain exhausted.

Bless your heart -- I know the feeling. I used to put myself thru that too, but found out it only made me sicker.

Why not try putting your thought on paper? Get them OUT. Write them all down, and when you're done either burn them or throw them out. Then you can consider them taken CARE of. They'll be gone for good! Write down the things that bother you the most - the things that hurt most and that are rambling around in your head. It has helped me alot to do that.

Of course you'll want to go over it with your therapist if it continues to bother you!

I wish I could help you with the physical pain. Have you tried a warm bath? Or perhaps an ice pack on the parts that hurt? Ice works well -- heat many times makes it worse, depending on the type of pain you have. I wish you the very best! Please take care. God bless. Hugs, Lee

good advice from Leed...if you can write the thoughts down, it helps. for me it makes the thoughts stop going around in circles in my mind and if I can picture them like they are on paper, they are lined up and organized and less chaotic and it gives me a way to start working on solutions. wishing you peace and calm
