Painkillers





Play with your pets, you’ll get a rush of good feelings-and so will your furry friend.

Dance, shaking and shimmying to your favorite song has been proven to trigger a flood of pain-easing endorphins.

Have a girls’ day out, studies show that when women get together, endorphins spike. And tossing in a little gossip has been shown to increase the effects.

Hear a joke, hearty laughter triggers endorphins, lowers stress hormones, relaxes the blood vessels and may even prevent heart disease.

Repeat a prayer or mantra, heart felt repetition of a short prayer or positive mantra such as “The universe supports me” triggers endorphins.

Depressed, angry, frustrated, gloomy, anxiety, stressed, and feeling sorry for myself

I've been depressed, angry, sad, I cry, feeling sorry for myself, and feeling negative like a dead end street. I know that I'm not the only one that has felt like this. Trying to overcome these feeling bound up inside of my, I want to feel numb, I want to sob, soak in my tears, and maybe I want to express all these feelings. I want to cry out loud, but silently. to many emotions bottled up inside of me just waiting to burst out.


I am going through a lot of changes in my life. Menopause, my youngest daughter graduated (feeling old and lonely, like I am not needed, force to go out into the world to work with my injury after not working for 2 yrs., finding a place to live, I'm alone, taking care of myself.)

Am I a angry person?

am I feeling sorry for myself?

My depression is a state of mind which is characterized by a negative sense of inadequacy and a visual lack of activity. It is a mental state in which the effecting person experiences sad feelings of gloom and downtur n in mood, which is because I lost self-esteem from not working for 2 yrs.. The comm on behavior includes feelings of sadness, despair, low self-esteem, low self-reproach and discouragement. (Click on image to read)

Protecting Yourself from Anger

Step1

Don't let anyone blame you. Sometimes an angry person will blame those close to them for all their problems.

Step2

Make sure you have ample support, so that anxiety does n't

become a problem for you. Living with an angry person can make you feel anxious and afraid.

Step3

Look for family patterns. Distorted anger can be pa ssed down from generation to generation; learned patterns of behavior can be diff icult to unlearn.

Step4

Identify the angry person's triggers. Identification can be useful in keeping yourself out of the cycle of anger.

Step5

Watch for increased episodes of anger under stressful situations. Anger can be coupled with low impulse control which tends to escalate under stress.

Step 6
Create a safety plan. This can be critical if the person has the potential to escalate to violence. Having spare car keys, money and phone numbers readily available may save you and your children.

Step7

Try not to take on a teacher or therapist role with th e angry person. It is their responsibility to work o n their anger, but it is also their choice! If you become their teacher or therapist they may resent you for it and become increasingly angry toward you. (Click on image to read)

Step 8

Teach people about the limits and boundaries of anger expression. An angry person is responsible for their own behavio

rs.

So my last word to end todays blog will be HOPEFUL; Light at the end of the tunnel.

"Once we learn to let go of the problem ...the loving care from your higher power, will provide strong support to help me understand what the whole purpose of these emotional roller coaster is all about"

Place all my worries into his hands, and release stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, suicidal thoughts etc...

My ability to overcome my addictions

My mind has just become, completely blank. I posted a blog about the importance of each of my daughters in my blog called "Struggling Parents". It is the one thing that I have been thinking about in the last few day. I will tell you why, because the last few days I have been completely sober, of most of my pain medications and my mind has been thinking no-stop of many things. When I am taking my soma medication my mind is confused or just plain blank, but when I am off of it I am in more of reality, and that is part of recovery from being an addict. I admit that I have the ability to become addicted to everything.

In my recovery from being an alcoholic, I have realized that reality is quite frightening to me. What it is that I want in my life and then it hits me and I ask myself "Have I come to a dead-end street?"... "Have the lights been turned off, forever?" ..."Where is the light?"..."which direction do I go?"..."what is wrong with me?"...these are an addicts fears.

So I pause and desire to go forward and that is where my daughter Alex comes in, she tells me that it is possible to continue to work, I'm not completely dead, or disabled. Persists is her middle name. My strength is my daughter Jilly, she fights to believe in her higher power and clings to it, that its the right direction and that her inner voice is the choice and decision she makes, and pushing out the negative.

I am babbling on and on, my mind is focused on that job I applied for. It is a live-in position as a care giver. He is allowing me to stay at his Dads house, rent free and going to pay wages to me. He called me this morning telling me him and his brother will be reviewing the applications and will get back to me, but his Dad is in a care home facility and has to remain there for 3-4 weeks because of the medi-care rules.

Only thing is that I am afraid of getting it because my self esteem and my abilities of caring for him. I haven't done nursing in so long, returning back to work, especially a live-in position has put a little fear into me on whether or not I am able to preform this responsibility. But more of me wants to because I miss working, as I use to be a workaholic. I miss the rush in the beginning of a shift and the ending of one. My miss my co-workers and being able to make the patients pleased with the care I give them.

Darn, I am not able to say exactly what it is I want to say, its all mumbling to me...I have a little anxiety now and then, and I found out what helps and that is to walk somewhere kinda fast, but I am so out of shape.

Another thing is that my boyfriend needs me, and he says he will miss me. I will diffidently miss him, he needs someone to help him keep his house cleaned.

"Will I be able to preform with my disability?"..."my pain?"...and "Being on these pain medications?"...I would have to stop taking the ones that keep me confused seeing that the patient is confused, it would be like the blind leading the blind. I know that I could quit because I have quit so many other addictions in my live and I can become addicted to my work again. My fear is that when my pain reaches to high of a level and I am not able to preform to help him. I've gone to the emergency room because of my pain level reaching the highest level, causing me to vomit and not being able to keep my eyes open. I get a headache like a migraine and it causes me to vomit. These are my fears.

Anywho, thanks for reading my jumbling and rambling on...have a great weekend !!!
