I have had chronic pain for almost 7years and I am bipolar. It has been a while since I have been back on this board. I have come a long way since I was here last. I have been working to heal myself. I have been on a paleo diet, lost 20 pounds, and have began running. This weekend I am actually going to run my first 5k. I have been through so much other than just my chronic pain over the last seven years. Family issues, betrayal from the pastor of church I was very involved in that was helping me keep it together. I played bass for an awesome church band and all of my friends were there. I felt like I lost everything. I have pulled myself up and decided to start an organization so I can share and help others through what I have learned. Rambling Chronic PK is my podcast and website that I want to try to make some real friendships and relationships to help others. We all need each other. I do not want to make money or anything else and I am not trying to advertise but I want to explain what I am doing. I just want to not be lonely and have others to help me share our journey. How do you deal with your pain, what positive actions do you do. Contact me if you want to know or talk about helping one another in any way.
