I appreciate the prayers so much. And I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me as well. I definitely believe in going exploring different routes to treat our bodies and our emotional well-beings. Now that I know that it is my gallbladder and that it is failing, surgery is the option I feel best going about. Scared, yes...but it will only get me sicker. That said, I also got some meds for my emotional well-being. I am waiting until after surgery to start them, because I feel a lot of this emotional issues have been because of my failing health and on-going pain. (That was a mystery for so long!)<br /><br />I also SO agree that a therapist is so beneficial. I had one for awhile and loved going. It helped a lot but now it has been hard finding a babysitter to go to sessions. But, I hope to resume down the road. <br /><br />I know a lot of people don't like to discuss the lows we experience but I feel it helps others in return, too. We sometimes struggle, and we need to know it's ok to get help from others. I also hope that I can help others who need it, too. Like you did for me :) . Anyway, thanks again for the love and kindness...it means the world to me! <br /><br />God Bless! <3 HKHKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127522730226281616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-392049590823859683.post-75580023691035021992014-06-23T19:14:19.368-07:002014-06-23T19:14:19.368-07:00HK...I am praying for you. Dealing with illness th...HK...I am praying for you. Dealing with illness that is not easily diagnosable is hard. I went through a similar situation almost 10 years ago...and the diagnosis was found by my chiropractor. She was able to determine that the valve in between my intestines was getting stuck either open or shut. I don't think I need to tell you how I felt when it was stuck in either position. I would highly recommend seeing someone like a chiropractor that doesn't just take x-rays, but is more holistic. They are much better in tune with reading your body and don't always have to "adjust" you to fix you. Acupuncture was also super helpful. <br /><br />As for the depression...I can relate there too. It took a long time to admit that that was what was going on as I was waiting for the switch to flip one day and it never did. Seeing a therapist was beyond helpful and I still go to this day just to keep myself in check and she has helped me through so many life events that I think otherwise would have really knocked me back. When I first started going I was incredibly reluctant to go on medication. I didn't want to just take something, but after about 3 months of seeing her and still never being able to get out the funk I agreed to go on a low dose generic anti-depressant. After a few weeks I really started to feel in control and like myself again. It was amazing, I forgot what it felt like. I stayed on the medication for about a year and half until I found out I was pregnant. It was safe to take, but I really wanted to go off. So I did and haven't needed to go back on. Whether I would consider myself lucky or not, I don't know. But you have to do what is best for you and not worry about what society thinks. Not to mention your family - they want you health and happy too! I have come to realize that a lot of people can post their perfect lives for others to see but they probably have their own 'ish that they are too embarrassed to share but it's life not a fairy tale.<br /><br />I hope you find some answers and peace soon! <br /><br />Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056577199831325631noreply@blogger.com
