Day 10 - A bit about me

MaryEllenB

Newcomer
So, I do not have pain. But I have many symptoms, most of which I think would be considered equivalents
- fatigue
- bloating
- pins/needles (much better now)
- spacey feeling
- ear fullness
- tinnitus

I had spent years with different diets, protocals, supplements to treat the bloating to no avail. I was diagnosed with sibo but no treatment helped.

I have a history of significant childhood abuse by my mother and my father was absent. I have never expresssed my feelings as my mother made me such a shell of a person I have felt throughout life I have no right to feel worthy and express myself.
I feel I have been in fight/flight for much of my life which has contributed to a lot of sx caused by excess cortisol. Even at age 12 I had stretch marks and my muscles have always been weak leading to a slouched position (both can be caused by excess cortisol).

The journalling has been amazing for me. It feels sooooo good to express my feelings. And it seems the more I express the more comes to the surface to be expressed.

So far I have been feeling much more relaed and the pins/needles feeling is gone.
