Hi Steemit people. I was wondering if there are people out there that have lost all hope, and think suicide is the best option, weather you have just gotten dumped, divorced, bullied etc ?
Well I have a normal life, been divorced twice, gone through some hard times, financially and emotionally, I always believed that all these trials and tribulations has made me a stronger and wiser person (and for the most part it has, but here is what I am struggling with:
I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 16 years old, had the huge opp and al was great again, but as the years went by the pain increased. It has taken a full 32 years for me to reach the point where living with constant pain, the aid of a corset and hands full of pills to keep me going for the day, to ask the question- is suicide the easy way out, is that what they call a coward?
I am such a happy go lucky person, love life, people, animals, and generally everyone and everything. I always have a smile ready plastered on my face, to hide the immense pain I am living with daily, but you know what, I will be 50 years old next year, and I have realized that I am TIRED, The pain daily has tired me out to the core.
There is no operation or medication that can heal me. I will just be experiencing more pain and more pain, until one day my body gives up, either of all the strong medication I am taking daily or just because the body has given up.
So my question to you guys out there? Is there anyone out there that is going through the same thing, how do you cope? Any suggestions?
My friend Bryce was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 15, and he was told that surgery was his only option. Thankfully, he kept exploring, and someone introduced him to yoga. Not only did he not need surgery, but he totally healed himself! This is him now, over a decade into his practice and pain free.
When I started practicing yoga, it was to deal with my own suicidal depression. I wanted relief from the mental and emotional torment, and never in my wildest dreams did I really believe it could alleviate my intense hip pain but it did!!! I highly highly highly recommend yoga--even if you just start by reaching for your toes for 30 seconds a day, you will feel better. For me, it's a tool to beat depression AND to heal the physical body.
There is hope, there is hope, there is hope, and I wish that at least knowing others have experienced "impossible" healing gives you strength to try a new way!
Dear Sara Thank you very very much for the tip, I have reached that point of giving up, but your message was so inspirational. and I will definitely try that. Thank you so much and God bless

Get all new Doctors. They have lots of new techniques for pain management. Some don't even require drugs. Others have drugs administered right near the offending nerves. Hope in the next new thing.
Blocktrades thank you very much for your advise and much needed vote. Yes I have had a Harrington rod implanted when I was 16 years old. Had a neck opp when I was 43 years old, and now the very lower part of my spine has crumbled and the cushion tissue gone, and the constant pain with almost no support, and no cushion between the vertebra's makes life really tough. Once again thank you for your vote
