Pain management

[Gentlespirit]

I'm trying to fight and not give in or give up. Cannot push myself long because i feel more pain depression and or exhaustion all at once or in waves. The window of time where or when i can do something is sometimes brief and just when i get a foothold and think go a little more and i sometimes do then I'm wiped out. Balancing physical mental and emotional health. What helps you ? Sometimes I'm so out of it yet I'm still struggling and trying to help others. Thanks i needed to vent. The lines ofmental and physical disability are blurred.

Belated reply. I sleep poorly due pain. Things I find helpful include a heat pad moving it around to various pain areas, listening to compline at the beginning of the night; listening to relaxation apps- one of my favourite sounds is a cat purring which also masks my tinnitus. At dawn listening to the dawn chorus and watching the sun rise behind trees. I try to find something positive that has happened during the day- very simple things like the sight and smell of a daffodil, the sound of children next door playing, the feel of clean sheets etc.

I understand what you are saying. The lines of mental issues and physical disabilities have become blurred for me also,

I have m.h. issues and physical disabled too. The sun rises and the sun sets. Find something that will help your sparkle ignite. Like listening to the thunder roll and the rain patter against the eaves. A cat purring and speaking. Little things. Go ahead.
