Saturday's Pain - Painkillers/Addictions
Hello to all poets and writers. I am hoping everyone is doing fine this day and just wanted to come in here and say hello to all. I have been down with a injured knee and been in alot of pain lately. I am hoping to recover from whatever is wrong in there really fast as I am a very active in my daily comings and goings. Pain is evident and I also know alot of us suffer from some sort of the other when we are in pain. It does not make for a beautiful day but I can say this when you greet your pain for whatever it is in your life and try not to fight it, it therefore becomes your friend and not your enemy
. I know alot of you won't understand that but just try to think of it for a minute. We take pain killers to lessen the pain and what does it do to us, it gets us hooked on drugs and dependent on them. My doctor wanted to give me pain killers I said no give me something that will not make me out of it and something that also will not tear up the stomach, not only does it tear up the mind. A pain pill is a bandade to dealing with the real problem.
Too many young folk and old folk too get hooked on these types of drugs and then can not live life without them. Of course when you have excrutiating pain they do come in handy. After two back surgeries and a host of other medical things I have tried to greet my pain as a friend so the pain does not take over my entire being. When it does get unbearable I take something. The only thing I am saying is when you fight your pain or your aggressions you are not healing inside. Try to greet pain as a friend no matter what for when you fight it you end up in more pain, I know this probably sounds crazy to most of you so I do not even know if it will reach the majority who are reading it. I sure hope you see where I am going with it.
Too many doctors are handing out pain killers to our youth and too many youth are getting hooked on a cycle that does not end, sometimes with death. So before you swallow those pain pills or anything that deadens the mind and body try to see if you can go without it and deal with the pain or crisis without the need to ingest chemicals.
In the past I had been on alot of medicines for my surgeries and the doctor still wants to write a script like giving out candy. Take ahold of your self and try to deal with it by exercising, relaxation, whatever it takes for you to be in control and not the pills. I know your're probably thinking what the hell is she saying now but I am only writing this for myself and others maybe that will see what I am speaking about. Too many close to home have died for overuse of pain medicines mixed with all other types of numbing agents. I do know some of us do need certain meds for certain diseases and I just was thinking how so many go through a dependency on some meds they really are not aware how addicting they can be. I just wanted to write on it that is all. Peace to my pain today, for I need it too. I know this is long but I like to write:) Appreciate the read just the same.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I look forward to reading you all soon.
Much love and peace to all here
