And I can't tell if this is just anxiety, or maybe something is getting worse. And the doc thinks I just need to get divorced and move on and I will feel better. I am pretty sure anxiety doesn't cause swollen legs and hands.
Weniki Tiki I've never posted to you before but I read you regularly and I love your energy, humour and deep ability to contemplate, reflect and internalise personal development learnings in the most graceful way. You are truely using this very difficult time in your life to learn and grow and it's so clear to see that you are going to be SOOOOOO ok no matter what happens.
Have you ever read any Louise Hay? She's a woman who wrote the groundbreaking book called "You can heal your life". Her hypothosis is that we manifest all of our own illness by our thoughts and those thoughts and experiences actually make us ill - but we also have the ability to make ourselves better if we understand the emotional/energy issue and deal with that - the physical symptoms will go away.
About 6 months after my h and I separated, I experienced a ruputured stomach ulcer and nearly died. I was 35 years old, in great overall health (I was GALing my ar$e off, yoga, aerobics, bike riding, hiking, eating well, etc etc etc) but I became very ill. I knew then that there was more to it than a coincidence. I started reading.
Not surprisingly, according to Louise Hay it could be broken down like this
Stomach problems: Dread. Fear of the new. Inability to assimilate the new. Pain: (associated with the rupture - because I've never been in so much pain in my life) Guilt: guilt always seek punishment
I looked up your swollen legs ... she says
legs: carry us forward in life Leg problems: Fear of the future. Not wanting to move. Swelling: Being stuk in thinking. Clogged, painful ideas.
She suggests affirmations for dealing with these things - so for you it might be
My thoughts flow freely and easily. I move through ideas with ease. I move forward with confidence and joy, knowing that all is well in my future. Life is for me.
Look her up - I think you'll like her.
