Something is Missing!
Something is missing!
I am going through a bit of a hard time right now with my pain and fatigue. I find my energy zapped and suddenly the need to lie down and rest becomes overwhelming. When I do lay down, I can fall asleep and stay asleep for a very long time. I feel as if I miss a large part of my life when this happens. When I wake, I feel better, but still not “normal”.
Today, I missed the afternoon and early evening. I am grateful that my husband was here so that I could lie down, but I just wish I didn’t have to lie down in the first place. I wish I could have a short rest, rather than a half of a days worth!
So, I am looking for some ways to get this under control. My first step is prayer. I need to seek God and ask for his help in this area. I know that the stress and pressure I am feeling right now must have something to do with this. And I know the Lord probably has something to say to me about all of this!
I would also like to find some new ways to implement relaxation techniques into my daily routine. I think it needs to be such a part of my routine as brushing my teeth is. There is a feeling in my chest, a tightness, due to the anxiety I am feeling that eventually creates a stomach ache or headache or both. Forgive the complaints please and the way this blog post has no real point to it. I find it helpful to write out my frustration, so if this is a place where I want to give advice or help others, I would recommend journaling or blogging!
I will be seeking new ways to relax and take better care of myself emotionally in this stressful time. If I don’t I am afraid that the effects will be far too heavy a burden.
That something that is missing right now, is me!
