To not hurt anymore, physically or emotionally.
To have a healthy sleep regimen and wake up time. Exercise daily, to better manage my pain, stability and mobility. Keep up with my medication and supplements to manage all my symptoms and decrease fatigue. Eat healthy meals and snacks several times a day to keep my blood sugar balanced. Meditation and other self care activities to keep my stress levels down and nervous system balanced.
to work up the courage to talk to my psychiatrist about seeing things. everytime i tell one, i end up never going back because of the fear i have that they’re all evil and gønna label me as mentally ill when in reality i have a gift to see things that others can’t see. i believe they’re spirits or something, but see if i tell someone that they’re not gonna see it the way i do they’re gonna go thinking,”oh this b*tch went bonkers”
@bzzzcow I try to see the stuff (spirits) but nothing I do gets me there. I just lost my dad and I try so hard to talk to him, I ask him to let me see him one last time. But nothing is working. Maybe you could put your gift to work? Help others? Good luck if you feel the need to let the Drs know, I hope they will understand you.
