How do you get through the emotional side of pain?

I'm feeling incredibly low at the moment. I'm awaiting my first gynaecologist appointment but it's already been agreed I will have a lap after I blacked out due to pain a few weeks ago and admitted to hospital.

The thing I am finding hardest at ...

Hi there, so so sorry to hear this how awful. You must be really fed up.

In short - I paint. Art is my lifeline, it has kept me off anti-depressants. The other thing is talking to people - I find support groups invaluable. Good luck with your lap and take care xx

Hi Howarth,

Sorry to hear you are feeling so low and in pain.

I think the rest of your post is missing because the last sentence peters out. I will tell the board admin but this seems to happen if you preview your post and then go back to edit before posting. Part of the post disappears!

Your post appeared at almost the exact same time as a very similar post and the responses might help you (particularly the chocolate!) Even though the responses were not to your post they are for your benefit too and everyone else's. Here's the thread.

As Dream_in_Pink says, painting is a good distraction/therapy or anything creative. I use this forum a lot and find it really helps. I had a bad week last week and some of the great women on here really helped me. I'm also addicted to pinterest.com and spend hours getting lost in there!

Hope you are feeling better. Maybe add some of the information that was missing from your first post. x
