Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Peace, I am a 43-year-old woman living in Denmark. (I will be 44 tomorrow.) I have worked on myself for a long time now - but have also had extreme bagage to deal with.... I was raped at 14 (a virgin) and have suffered from anorexia, migraines, suicide-attempts, abusive relationships, depressions... whatever; you name it.... I have done various forms of therapy (psychologist/psychiatrist) and the last 10-15 years I have been much better - but I am still dealing with 'having a body' which is somewhat hard for me. I have an 'addictive' nature - but as it is of now I have cut off most addictions - I have stopped smoking cigarettes and coffee is gone too. My problem now is that I would like to lose some weight (about 40 pounds) and get a better diet. (So are my migraines.) I am working on getting back to a vegetarian diet that I used to be on - the last couple of years I have been eating some meat and dairy products (2003 was a year-long-depression - the worst I have ever had - I was even medicated for the first time in my life - oxapax - bensodiaspin-family (danish words; don't know in English) - for about 5 month - stopped medication April this year.) I am feeling much better in many ways and have started doing a few yoga positions and some meditation in the morning - I focus on breathing in through my solar plexus chakra (for healing my selfesteem) but as I have never practised officially anywhere I am not sure if this is where my focus should be. I have never like people touching my body much - I have never liked having a body much and still don't - I do not like undressing and even though I have gotten to a point where I can enjoy sex - even if I still only have had it with men who didn't love me (I have been without sex for 2 years now) - but I have met a very special man on line and I think there is a possibility that we have a real future together. He is already helping me heal in many ways. (Helping me see patterns through my life; why I repeated bad relations a.s.o. - at the moment we are talking about the fact that I have a hard time forgiving myself for getting into so many selfdestructive situations....) Anyway - any advice would be very appreciated. OneLove Anne Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
