When the problem is out of your control, there is no relief in sight, and money is almost nonexistent?
Has anyone ever been here? Any feedback sorely needed! |
Oh, have I ever been there! In spades. I found recordings of a relaxation technique called Yoga Nidra was very, very helpful. Here is a youtube recording which is pretty good.

Yoga Nidra is being used for soldiers coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq who are under tremendous stress and depression. There are many recordings and I searched until I found the one I like which I have on my Ipod. I think the person's voice is very important to how one responds to Yoga Nidra.
It works wonderfully but you need to keep doing it every other day or every third day. |

I have just rediscovered music and how all kinds can speak to your soul. I have had a difficult and stressful few months ,but today even tho it was my smallest minxes first day at school and it was pouring down with rain and cold, (definitely end of summer for us), I was listening to an album by Alison Krauss, and driving along the road with fields of golden barley on either side I suddenly felt at one with her music and completely at peace.
It was a beautiful few moments, and reminded me of how much music can soothe and heal.
That and friends who listen and the odd glass of wine, with them!! 
Thats what helps me friends,and music.HTH |

Alison has such a peaceful voice, doesnt she!
This one is kind of sad, but hopeful at the same time (with Robert Plant for you rocker chicks!):

Music Therapy is very effective, btw. Start out playing the saddest songs you can think of and gradually change to the happiest songs - it will transform your mood before you know it. Profound.
eta: If you feel like you are unable to cope tho, seek medical or counseling care. |

I have had a very rough 16 years. Three times nearly dying (cancer, stroke, 11 hernias, trauma, and HELLP syndrome during childbirth) twice I have had open wounds for around a year. I now take Nucynta for residual pain from the cancer treatments. My dad died during this period and my mom was in rehab for a year. These are things that helped me. I worked full time through most of this and a coworker really helped out.
1. When you need help from others ASK. When you feel out of control counseling or talking to someone not in your circle can help. Most areas have free services or support groups.
2. Give yourself lots of breaks, get massages, try guided imagery, learn breathing techniques.
3. Pets are great I have two dogs and they are amazing.
4. Find some exercise you enjoy. I once had a good DVD on chair yoga.
5. Keep a journal.
6. It is OK to be down sometimes. I hated it when I was in extreme pain and my DH said to smile!
7. Try books on tape when I was in too much pain to read or even watch TV a narrated book with headphones can put you in a new place.
8. Keep posting here. This is a nice forum. I used to post here probably over 14 years ago but life intervened. This is a well moderated forum that does not tolerate nasties. |

I meditate/visualize myself on a day in the future where I am recalling the hard time that felt like it would never end and then I visualize my future self saying to herself, " Wow, I thought that would never, ever end, but it did!"
Most of those trying times do end.
The trick is not throwing in the towel beforehand. |
