Hey Sanmagic,
How are you feeling about your diagnosis?
I am glad that the doctor seemed quite caring, and that you went to get yourself checked out, however I'm sorry to hear he kept pushing the music idea.
Do you mind if i tell you something i read in an article, that might help you?
Here goes anyway in case...
Not sure if the article is telling the truth..but it said that, an emotional cause of adrenal fatigue is the body stops producing cortisol when it is rebelling against life as it is, because it knows that you are not happy with life as it is.
Apparently it thinks..why should i bother producing cortisol when I'm not happy or enthused aobu life or about getting up every day. Maybe thats why the doc suggests doing things you will enjoy. I guess that eases stress to a degree.
Of course, the adrenals get tired and damaged from stress. Im not sure if the emotional component is true here too. I don't know what to believe. Maybe both are correct.
I have heard that like with the emotions, wanting physical ailments / pain to go away quickly, is like quietening the inner child.
Only listening to her because you want her to go away, when she really needs to be accepted, and loved for all the pain she is in, not wanted to be different.
I understand that you want this to get better, and maybe accepting that truth is ..needed.
Apparently, if you accept what your inner child has to say (as you would an ailment), her pain will ease, as you are accepting her and meeting her needs.
I have heard that with these sorts of conditions, listening to your emotional and physical needs...not waring to get rid of the condition right away...is what will help cure it.
Just accepting the way you body and health is.
It can be really hard to just accept that, not wanting to accept it in order for it to get better.
The adrenals i believe, are telling you to slow down...so i guess, that in order to get better, hearing them and doing what they ask of you, is in effect, slowing down...and that will make them better faster.
Apparently, the desire for things to hurry up and get better, just like you asked the doctor, can still be there, the mind can still be ticking over, even if a person has slowed down. Even if they are on vacation. -
becasue mind and body are connected, that mental energy doesnt help the physical body to actually properly relax. You are still running and stressing and rushing ahead in your mind.
Really hard to stop i know.
And you mentioned chronic fatigue...it was this video i watched by the spiritual teacher teal swan, who i am a bit iffy about...she talked about chronic fatigue and i started wondering if it was the same for adrenal fatigue.
i guess it depends on your own trauma that creates your own reasons for the fatigue.
She spoke about tension. Tension needing to be different or to be accepted or to be well.
I can post it if you would like it.
And did you know that being overwhelmed is a key component in Adrenal Fatigue? (apparently)
Im thinking, is it any surprised that after everything you have been through, that your body is tired and grinding to a halt? Perhaps your emotions are spent with the alexithymia? Unless you are not able to outlet the anger you talk of having so numbness is what covers it.
It must be putting a stain on you worrying that you wont be able to do the christmas stuff.
I hope you don't mind the stuff i told you. I down know if its correct, but i learned it recently and if you'd like links i can send them.
I guess, I'm just trying to say, that its totally ok that you want to feel better. i hope that, if they are right and that healing comes from accepting your pain, that you can come to (if you wish) a place of acceptance for the place your body is in now, in order for it to heal.
Take care

Quoteanyway, that's besides the point. i asked how long before this was going to make me feel better (one shot, and one pill/day for a month), and he said who knows? maybe tomorrow. well, i don't feel better even tho i was hoping to. some disappointment there. i did think of jigsaw puzzles, and want to get one set up. i used to love doing those. he also said sex, which has been out of my life for years due to my husband's fears. i have a lot of resentment and anger built up around all that which i've never gotten out fully.

Quotehave had to let others take care of it, but the plants are babies and need watering and i'm afraid that they don't know anything and will muck it up and aaaaargh! instead of enjoying it, i'm afraid i'll be devastated if i lose it.Such a shame you havent been able to do what you enjoy, and i think its natural for you to worry that your plants wont survive.
