Title: yer welcome Post by rumplestiltskin on Aug 24th, 2003, 10:05am I was just lost in the archives for hours...and as I return here yer words sparked a memory of a post there by the CH.COM famous but absent Gary G. in Oct of 1999 He spoke of his view of the difference between "suffering" through the pain and "enduring" the pain. An interesting observation. My paraphrase and interpretation is: Our attitude toward CH defines how we pass through the attacks. A negative attitude of "why me"..."poor me"..."i can't make it"..."noone else feels this bad" "i don't deserve this" etc ...causes us to "suffer" the pain. A positive attitude, aquired and accepted during the painfree times, of "this is only a disease not a punishment or curse"...."it will pass"..."i will survive and thrive"..."offer the pain up"..."resistance is futile...go with the flow" "I must look really silly with this mask on,in my underwear, dancing to a CD of indian drums" etc...causes us to "endure" the pain. I am not one who understands the phsyiological aspects of CH. I leave that to others. I am a student of the psychological and philisophical impact that the pain has on us. My area of work is in transcending the pain as it happens and transcending the negative impact CH has on our lives as a whole. Walk in the sunshine den |
