I start my Mindfulness Meditation course tomorrow. I have 8 weeks spending 2 hours once a week on a Friday learning how to do this properly to help me with my pain.
I was referred to Talking Therapies as I am unable to take any more medication as it either doesn't work or I am allergic too so this was my next option.
I have been learning Mindfulness Meditation via reading posts on hear or watching youtube but having the chance of being taught with a therapist will help me get into the zone a lot quicker.. I Hope
This is going to help me get out of the house and hopefully after the 2 hour lesson I will be a lot calmer and in a better mood.
When I was first referred i had to fill in a Outcome Measures form, this asks you to rate yourself on how your feeling, how your days have been and what has been in your thoughts, they will get me to fill in another one probably half way through the course then again at the end, this is t measure my depression and pain and see if the course is helping me.
I am getting myself worked up about doing this, having to walk into a strange place them meet people I have never met before. My anxiety levels will be through the roof. I get to meet the therapist thankfully but then I think I have to meet quite a few others in the same position. I will be feeling sick all night I will also be tempted and I mean very tempted to cancel it. I will have to give myself the biggest kick to go. I am determined to make the effort, I at least want to give it ago as it could open a lot of doors for me. I could make friends, This could actually work and help me with the pain, these are all positives.
Thank you @son-of-satire
Good luck... I have been practicing mindful meditation for the past year it is amazing what it can do for you and your life!

Yeah I have been seeing a network chiropractor with my mindful meditation I would recommend something like that also.. he works a lot on the chakras and just getting your body and mind into the state of mindfulness! It has helped a ton!

Look at this positively, Karen. It will be great to get out for two hours once a week and if it works it will be a huge win!

Making the first step in anything is always tough. After that, it is easy as pie.

Accept your fear...don't fight it...the less power you give it...the less control it has....I find groups like this are full of loving....caring...understanding people often in similar pain...and if your radar suggests otherwise...you can choose to leave...best of luck...please provide update...there is no such thing as a failure...just a decision we make at a given time...
