I'll be so happy when this is over; I pray that it will soon be over.

Nothing new to report today really. Woke up and wound up in tears of pain and frustration as soon as I got out of bed to let the puppies out. There is a forecast of bad storms today, Oklahoma is already under the gun and we are under a tornado watch. The low pressure system that creates such unstable weather also creates pain in a lot of people.My chiropractor says its because out bodies are like barometers. When the pressure outside drops suddenly, the pressure in our bodies remains high. Damaged joints, broken bones, and other places where there is scar tissue or inflammation tend to become very tender and painful as the fluid in the joints expand with the pressure.

The other storm has been more emotional as I struggle to dredge up painful issues from my past that may be causing blockages and preventing healing. Sometimes the memories are brief flashes, sometimes episodes come complete with the original pain. This is such hard work. Its a good thing I can't walk well enough to shop, more than anything I want to make a junk food run and pig out on everything sweet, fatty and salty. This is an old compulsion where I used food to mask the pain and emptiness in my life. Here is yet another battle to fight. Emotional eating and food addiction is just as bad and just as hard to overcome as drug and alcohol addiction.

Therapy was pretty good today. I got my neck adjusted and that was very painful. I thought I was going to pass out for a moment. I'll be so happy when this is over; I pray that it will soon be over. I'm not sure how much more I can take.
