Stress Center Peer Support

Hello, I have been fighting Fibromyalgia for over ten years now. I have IBS, restless legs, severe body pain, nausea, etc.

As I go through this program and read all these books I have piled up next to me on my sofa I can't help but think that maybe this Fibromyalgia is actually my struggle with anxiety, panic and depression manifesting itself in my body physically.
I am gradually remembering episodes throughout my life that as I learn more I realize were panic attacks. I have always been different and felt like I was an outsider.

It feels like I am so far in the black hole that there is not way I will ever climb out! Ad to this that outside influences keep cropping up and feeding this monster in me! I am having panic attacks daily. I am waking up every morning in a panic with nausea and severe stomach issues.

HELP!!!! I can't quit crying. I am continuing to work on the program but I just want to be better and NORMAL!!!

Crying can heal a broken heart. One day at a time maybe even minutes at a time, it took awile getting to where you are.
It will be a new and uplifting long trek back out of the "wilderness" while accepting and learning and applying change and some pain. We can be our own worst nightmare. Here is a large boost of karma or motivation for your asking. Make it happen, it will not happen and change if you do not. Rest assured your not alone and if there is will there is away.
What message are you hearing when absorbing the info that is being aquired?
One step forward then another and accept there will be a slip back at times and then regroup, remmeber that your still moving forward and I bet you can make it back to the civilization and be able to say, I can I can I know I can and I have.
Tell us more.

For what it is worth, to heck with normal. You are you and I am I and I do not want to be "normal". Anyone can be normal, but knowone realy is. Everyone has their luggage to carry.
