I had Fibromyalgia a few years ago & it was coupled with Depression, Anxiety and hopelessness. I had mounting issues going on in my life that I could not deal with. I had been to Doctors who tested me for Ross River Fever and a few other things but all was OK. I was told that there was nothing else that could be done to relieve my pain. This disease literally, brought me to my knees & I had always been an active person - until now. The disease crept up on me over years & gradually pulled me down. By chance, I went back to see a Therapist who I had seen some years before and after speaking with her for 1 hour I felt the pain drain out of me - nearly all of it as I left her office. I had obviously chosen to hold all of my tension in my body and I was not listening to my body telling me to do something practical. I don't have this disease anymore but I do have to be vigilant and listen to myself and I have found Actualized.org very helpful in allowing me to be more aware - generally. The depression and anxiety still try to creep in from time to time but my awareness helps tremendously.
