I am sitting here in...Greetings from Virginia Gina,<br />I am sitting here in awe of your post. What a journey you are on & I sincerely applaude you for being so honest& sharing it. I have always thought I am doomed & a prisoner to my stomach issues & chronic pain. I have been on a narcotic (pain mngmt)for 26 years. I, like you have had many surgeries & the last one has really changed my entire lifestyle. In my relationship with God, I am feeling convicted. I feel like my "secret" is such a heavy burden. But I cannot ignore what I believe He is saying to me. If I may please take a bit of your time & tell you that in 1991 I was assaulted by a stalker who hit me in the forehead with a hammer that penetrated my brain. He then proceeded to stab me over 20 times.I have injuries that I "feel" to this day.I also have doctors telling me that I should go off of my pain meds, that I have been on them to long. I know a lot of my stomach issues are due to the medicine as it is common for me to go to the restroom once a week, sometimes a little longer.(so sorry for tmi) I am active at my church, just started voluteering & I love it. I live 2 blocks from the ocean so I walk daily, reflect there, rejuvinate there, & look for many seashells there. I "have" to walk daily as I have a failed total knee replacement that directly resulted in my breaking my femur in the same leg. Every step is painful but since I am on medication it is tollerable. BUT the more I get closer to Jesus, the more I feel this "feeling of shame" & I am paralyzed at the thought of going off of them. I know exactly what withdrawl entails & how it can go on & on but I am also terrified at the thought of not being able to move any closer to God or grow with every season. It's as if I am not repenting of something & the price for that is unfathomable.You seem to have done what I have always thought was un~doable.You take care of yourself physically & mentally & spiritually as well. I don't mean to know your many attributes I'm just guessing there are many. And you write so beautifully, so honest & real. I just can't believe I came across your blog by chance. I am terrified inside, I have recently gone on medication for depression which I have suffered from since my early teens.The kind of darkness that dirupts every part of my being. I do try not to let this all define me, I do love "art" & journalling & gardening & having neices & mephews in my life daily BUT I just feel like something is wrong, wrong with me. I have not shared this with anyone, my Dr's or my women's group from church who are great friends. Every day that goes by I am aware of my struggle & do I have the backbone to be as real & honest as you are. I am running out of precious time. I am "truly Thankful" to have found your blog & am grateful to be able to express some of my pain & fear here. You have no idea how your bravery has helped me today. Bless you & Thank you so much.<br />A friend in Christ, <br />DawnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825090438146510577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-2169348981022611842017-04-27T04:33:52.917-05:002017-04-27T04:33:52.917-05:00wow Gina what a post, thank you for sharing all of...wow Gina what a post, thank you for sharing all of this with us. <a href="https://www.cartincoupon.com" rel="nofollow">Cartincoupon.com</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955401169698050990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-26526344540800461902017-03-28T02:33:46.618-05:002017-03-28T02:33:46.618-05:00Gina, I am so sorry you had had to go through all ...Gina, I am so sorry you had had to go through all of this.

Thank you for sharing your story!!! You are...Hello! Thank you for sharing your story!!! You are brave and so strong! I have had PTSD and trauma and have had a fear/panic disorder that was finally diagnosed after some traumatic health situations- I'm saying all this because I have worked so long to try and heal and all the things you listed I have gone and they have helped but this last year I started doing EMDR ( google it!) with a certified therapist and I truly believe it has helped me process and release the trauma and chronic pain my body is and has been holding onto. So I just wanted to mention it to you in case you can look into a certified therapist in your area that you could check into. Many blessings and hope and peace and grace for your journey! Much love!
