Wow! This response would be an excellent post in another forum some of us are involved in. Thank you, Gregory, for your forum. It is certainly helping me to see things more clearly. Thanks, Elaine and all, for your openness in sharing. I wonder how many times I have been guilty for judging those who are merely sick.

I have a friend who suffers from a very real physical condition called TMJ causing severe jaw and ear pain. She cannot take pain pills however because of another issue. Does that mean since the treatment doesn't work that she doesn't really have TMJ?

Temper mandibular joint something or other. Jaw muscle issue.

NO SEEK JUST BECAUSE THE TREATMENT DOES NOT WORK FOR YOUR FRIEND , DOES NOT MEAN SHE
DOES NOT HAVE IT , I MYSELF WENT MANY YEARS BEFORE I GOT A LITTLE RELIEF , I LANDED UP AT
THE NUROLOGICAL CENTER OF ANN ARBOR FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS MAKING
IT ALL UP, BUT DOES THAT MEAN , I DID NOT HAVE , IT WAS SO SERVE MY EYES COULD NOT STAND LIGHT ,
DR. GORDON WAS THE DOCTOR AFTER FOUR YEARS OF PURE TORTURE THAT HELPED ME .

Oh I know. But Gregory's dad seems to think medicine isn't working that Gregory doesn't have a real problem. Not many in this state qualified on TMJ issues. Dentists don't deal with it here.

I FEEL SO SAD THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING SO. MY OLDEST DAUGHTER SUFFERS FROM A SCHITZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER, BIPOLAR, MANIC  DEPRESSION, OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER. THEY CONTINUALLY SWITCH HER MEDS, AS YOU DO HAVE TO CHANGE THE CLASSIFICATION OF MEDS. EVERY SO OFTEN. MY DAUGHTER IS ON DISABILITY AND HAS MEDICAL HELP. SHE ALSO HAD STOMACH BYPASS SURGERY TO LOSE WEIGHT, WHICH REALLY GAVE HER PROBLEMS. SHE HAS SUFFERED TREMENDOUSLY, PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. SO, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. NO MATTER WHAT , JESUS LOVES YOU AND YOU ARE SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL. YOU DO HAVE A PURPOSE. YOU WERE CREATED FOR A PURPOSE. WHEN WE ARE SUFFERING IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE THIS. GOD LOVES YOU AND ACCEPTS YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. I TOO SUFFER FROM ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.. DONT GIVE UP, THERE IS HELP.  I AGREE WITH OTHERS, IT IS AN ILLNESSS, WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING, SO PLEASE DONT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ALONE. WE ARE YOUR FAMILY HERE AND ALL OF  US ARE IN AGREEMENT GOD WILL OPEN THE DOORS FOR YOU AND YOUR PARENTS.  ITS ALL SO VERY SAD FOR YOUR PARENTS AS WELL, AS THEY HAVE AND ARE SUFFERING. ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED FROM COUNSELING IS IF OUR PARENTS DIDNT HAVE THE TOOLS AND HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THEIR PARENTS ALSO WERE IN THE SAME SITUATION. SOMETIMES THIS CAN MAKE US ANGRY, THIS IS ALSO A NORMAL RESPONSE. THEY DO THE BEST THAT THEY CAN DO, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCESS.  THERE WERE MANY THINGS I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WITH MINE, BUT THROUGH COUNSELING, I STARTED TO LOOK AT THEM DIFFERENTLY. I FELT VERY SAD FOR THEM AS THEY MISSED OUT ON SO MUCH. THE LORD GAVE ME 7 GOOD YEARS WITH MY MOTHER. SHE PASSED ON MY BIRTHDAY IN 2010. MY DAD PASSED WHEN I WAS 18. THERE IS SO MUCH WE DONT ALWAYS UNDERSTAND, BUT IF WE LOOK TO OUR ONE TRUE HEAVENLY FATHER, HE WILL GUIDE US INTO UNDERSTANDING AND PERFECT LOVE I AM PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND WILL START A PRAYER CHAIN AT CHURCH AND WITH MY FRIENDS. I LOVE YOU AND JESUS LOVES YOU TOO.

Sheesh Kay. I knew you had a rough time with her but never knew she had been diagnosed with all of that. God bless you sweet sister. She's in my prayers as I know Destiny is in yours.

Hi Gregory,

Just want you to know that you are not the only one who suffers like this. On March 18th I had to be hospitalized for an extremely severe depressive episode. I was in the hospital for ten days. I understand all to well what you are going through. My prayer for myself is either God take this from me, or bring me home with Him. I'm hoping He will bring me home.

Gregory, look at it this way.  If you're suffering through a lot of trials right now, it could mean that you're really blessed and that God has some mighty big plans for you.  It may be 10 or 20 years in the making, but the ones who are hit hard can be used greatly if they keep bouncing back.
