Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 {{{{{{{ K A Y }}}}}}} I so wish I could reach out through cyberspace and wrap two loving arms around you!!! *I M A G I N E* that we are all there doing that right now in this moment! Bob has sent you a amazing gift with his wonderful advice! Please read it over and over and begin to implement his ideas *right this moment*. Take his gift and embrace it! I loved his idea of using the affirmations to change your thought patterns... and I am going to do the cards! I LOVE that idea and can really sense how helpful that would be to ALL of us! For a short time, after the birth of my daughter, I suffered from post partum depression (from the hormone letdown after her birth). I know it does not compare to long-term depression really, but maybe in a small way, I can understand what you're suffering Anyway, I was feeling SO incredibly sad...to the depths of my SOUL! And then I felt guilty for feeling sad which only ADDED to my sadness. How could I possible feel sad when I had just given birth to a baby that I was madly in love with and had waited so very long to have in my life???? It was terribly confusing! I did do affirmations, and also (and okay this won't work for everyone...but it was what REALLY helped me I would get in the car, put in a CD that I loved....things like Stevie Wonder's Songs from the Key of Life, Queen's Bohemian Rapsody, lots of old Motown....'happy music' <grin> and roll down all the windows and * S I N G * to the top of my lungs. It really, really made a huge different <grin> Some how it helped bring me out of negative 'self'. The other thing that helped was to go down to the beach and sit and watch the ocean....breathing deeping and taking in all the majesty and vastness of the world. It really helped bring me back to center. Anyway, Kay...I may be totally off-base here, and feel free to just chunk anything I'm about to say right out the window....but my sense is that something really bad has happened to you at some early point in your life?? and that the deep hurt and pain of that experience has enveloped and consumed you and therefore been allowed to totally distorted your reality of *y o u r s e l f *. It may take a bit more than my simple singing and deep breathing at the ocean...but those things might help? Can't hurt, that's for sure PLEASE, do as Bob implored, and seek out some professional counseling to help you really deal with all that so you can see the truth of how *YOU are not to blame* - so that you will be able to RELEASE all those negative and destructive thoughts/feelings and move forward to an abundant and joyful life that you SO deserve, Kay!! Your loving, caring and beauty shines through even all the baggage you've taken on .......... I M A G I N E ... the person you W I LL BE when you get help & are able to lift yourself up out of the world you've created for yourself! It will take healing ACTION on your part....and it sounds like (again, I may be wrong...this is only my sense of things) you are in need of guidance w/healing your spirit, maybe even more than your body at this point?? But as I've recently realized (!) you can DO both at the same time :-D I am totally inexperienced w/the nutrition questions, but I would trust the advice of Elchanan (and re-emphasized by Bob) and try the 3 day mono diet to see if the physical problems are helped. Sounds highly probable. {{{{sending loving & healing thoughts your way}}}} Denise ............................ Kay: But I spend most of my days crying uncontrollably, shaking, feelings of despair and isolation.. I could go on... But in fact I feel like I CAN'T go on.. Bob: this sounds serious, and well beyond this board's group support; I encourage you to seek out some competent, knowledgeable assistance. Kay: And now I have sabotaged my diet horrendously - So what can I expect but more of the same?... Bob: You can make NEW choices, every day...every hour, every minute...
