So Blessed
Hi, guys.
This week I went to see my homeopathic doctor. I see this doctor every two months and last time I went to see her I was able to talk about the abuse and the negative effects it was having in my life. She changed the medicine I was taking and it actually made my problems worse. I expected that as I know that that is the way homeopathy works. Things get worse and then they get better. What happened was that the treatment made a lot of the stuff that had been suppressed for a long time to emerge and I fell into a deep crisis and depression. That was the time that I started coming here. As bad as having a crisis was, I knew it was to my benefit, otherwise I would have just continued in the “coping” mode, with unwanted compensatory behaviours. This week I was able to take a look back to what happened with me in the past two months, and I could clearly see how much things have improved in this short period of time.
A friend here reminded me that today is Thanksgiving in the US. I was already feeling in a state of gratitude this week after the reflection on the past two months and so I thought of taking this opportunity, as I thank God for His love and guidance and for His healing mercy, to come here and also thank you guys on MS for all of your love and support as well. Of course the homeopathic treatment coupled with psychotherapy have been extremely helpful to me, but I must say that finding a space such as MS was a special bounty I received. Here I can share my deepest fears, I can open my heart and cry, I can learn about the story of others and see how others are dealing with issues that are similar to mine, and most of all, I can find nurturing love and encouragement from people that fully understand how I feel – all of this is so rare to find and I feel very blessed to be part of this community.
I thank God for showing me the MS site. I thank God for the friends I am making here. May He continue to protect and bless us all as we persevere on the road to recovery.
