Things have been interesting the few weeks. Whew! I've gone through many life changing things, even what I could call a near death experience. I didn't realize my shoe's sole was coming unglued. It got caught on a curb in front of a local craft store, sending me flying into traffic, landing about 12" from the bumper of a pick up truck. Thank God He protected me & the truck was able to stop without hitting me. I ended up with damaged pride, but no serious injuries otherwise. This & the other extremely positive & negative things that have happened have been changing the way I think- increasinng my faith in God greatly, & making me want to take better care of myself by enjoying life more. It has me questioning relationships & how I handle stress & more.
The most recent thing is on Monday, while loading my washer, I got a nasty pain in my back. That pain turned into a huge spasm. I know God spoke to my heart & said it was related to my emotional health. He brought some memories to mind, & enabled me to face them & heal me from the anger/hurt/etc. While the pain diminished some, it was still there. Even after a wonderful massage from my dear friend, it only improved some.
Today, I had a very stressful phone conversation with someone. When I got off the phone, I could barely walk. I didn't even make this connection- my husband did. It showed me that yet again, this pain is emotional. When I experience a negative emotion, I turn it inside.
I believe many people do just this same thing. It explains the amount of people with stress-related conditions such as high blood pressure, ulcers, etc.
My point of writing all of this? I would love to hear the experiences others have with internalizing their emotions. I am in new territory here- this is a topic I know nothing about. I would like to learn how to stop doing this myself, plus, maybe it's morbid curiosity, but I would like to hear others' experiences.
