Balancing Your Body

Balancing your body is the key to staying pain free. The body and mind is one and what we think manifests in our physical body. Vulvodynia effects the most intimate part of our body. When I was suffering I had a huge struggle with my most intamate relationship-my marriage. After 15 years, I guess I was bogged down. I was set in my ways. Every day seemed like that movie "Ground Hog's Day". Everyday was the same. I was left to deal with my 3 children, one who was not easy. I was running around causing friction where there didn't need to be any. Little things would get me angry. Since I don't feel comfortable being angry I would carry inside of me. I was ingesting my anger. That made me so hot. Not the good type of hot. I was on fire. So was my vagina. I am not suggesting that Vulvodynia is a made up issue of the mind. I really felt what I felt and I wasn't pretending. There was a real physiological explanation for my pain. But I had to learn how to deal with my anger. I had to let myself be angry and then put myself back together. I still struggle with anger. It is just the most unattractive emotions. I don't like seeing other people get angry, especially when it is directed in my direction. I literally feel like someone has kicked me in the gut. I have used several different methods to help manage my anger. I exercise, practice yoga, get massages and do weekly sauna. What do you do?
