A journey starts with one step, but how to decide where that first step will land is the most important decision.
I wanted to be the person my husband could be proud of, I no longer wanted to be his "sick wife". Through our marriage I have been sick a lot and it no secret that stress is the major reason on why I was sick. Here are a few illnesses I have had:
- Shingles
- Asthma
- TIA - Mini Stroke
- Whooping Cough - More than once
- Pneumonia - Hospitalized on breathing machine
- Spinal Tap
- Hemiplegic Migraines
- Anxiety Attacks
- Back issues
- Multiple Kidney Stone
- Thyroid growths in neck
It is not a list to be proud of and I am sure I forgot some of them. So, for me, my journey started with finding out how I could deal better with stress, and for that I needed to rediscover myself. I needed to know my worth and why for so long I felt unworthy. Being unworthy was something that I have been dealing with through my whole life and I knew rising above it would not be easy.
One day I was sitting and praying for help, I was in so much pain both mentally and physically that the thought of taking my life came across my mind numerous times daily. After a weeks of praying and pure rock bottom depression, I received a phone call from a local therapy business, I had visited their web site a few weeks prior and put my name on a waiting list for a bio feedback therapist, and now there was room for me to be one of her patients.
