Post by: Lupita on April 13, 2010, 05:25:32 PM

I had chest pain today. I know is from depression. I feel my throat closing. Something is opressing my heart. No energy.

It sounds like something serious going on.  Do you have a route to help?  pm if you'd like to. 

In the meantime, take good care of yourself.

Hi (Lupita),

I'm sorry you are going through such pain. I've read your threads and you have received great support.

When I read this.................

I feel my throat closing.

My heart fell. I've had that happen to me in my darkest times and it is very scary.

I'm sorry your body is so full of emotional pain. I'm praying for you, Lupita.

Thinking of you and wishing you peace in your heart. seasons xo

Lupe:

Cry when you feel like crying, like a wounded animal.... keening, with no holding back.

When you can't cry, put your one hand on your chest and one on your tummy. (Thumb in belly button, fingers resting below.)

Concentrate on your breathing...... make sure the hand on your tummy's moving up and down, not the hand on your chest.

This will help calm you down.

Breathing from the top of your lungs only increases anxiety.

(((((Lupita)))))

This pain has lessons to teach you.

Listen to it.


Don't fear it.

You're going to be OK.

I know the pain Lupita,

I felt it when my son-in-law dismissed me from his family, and my daughter sided with him. I lost her and my first 2 grandchildren, and when I cried, I thought I would never stop. I thought I would lose my mind, then I heard she had another baby, another Grandchild for me, and one I never knew, who is now 18.

They are all forever lost to me, because it was the almost last straw in my life of losing people. I didn't cry again for 16 years, and that was after I left the N, and put myself on a course that is proper for me to follow. Now all that is compartmentalized, as has been since I was a little girl. I know 'intellectually' what I am to feel, as I have felt before, but not since.

I have chosen to never experience that pain again, not at my age, so I am making new friends and ONLY those who totally understand me. One is my physical therapist. She is 40 and I really like her. We have a lot in common and she is going to 'work' for me even when my funding has been cut, maybe very, very soon. In return I can listen to her problems with N-parents and N-parents-in-law, and I have already explained to her about my compartmentalization.

Love
Izzy
