Your Own Personal Plague

It can be a memory you can't shake, a person you cannot shake, although it's kind of sad to think anyone sees another person as their own personal plague. For me, my own personal plague is migraines. I've talked extensively about them on here, so I won't bore you. I mean I've got other health problems, personal problems, but nothing seems to overshadow anything like my stupid migraines.
So what is your own personal plague?

I am not sure I have any anymore, I am pretty much at peace with myself, at the moment but as far as your migrains are concerned I am not sure if I have commented on any of your posts before but I used to suffer with them years ago but I controlled them by having just a little of apple cider vinegar in water every morning, apple cider vineger is a blood thinner in a way, I never had a migraine while I was on this but if I missed for about a week then I would get them back...Horrible taste but better than a three day migraine as I used to get and you just need a little in some water, I used to use a shot glass and most of that was water...worth a go Ambie...

Apple cider vinegar is high in potassium and may have other minerals that relax muscles and help with pain. It might help and it certainly could not hurt.

Neck pain and tiredness. These are my plagues. I never really talk about it but they are with me daily. I get tired of being tired and there never seems to be a break. I had a wreck when I was younger and although I thought everything healed ok, they said that there was evidence of the damage between some vertebrates in my neck. I can only hope that it doesn't get worse.

Mine would have to be the huge division in my household. I mean I know where I stand, but when my husband doesn't know where he stands, that is as bad as him knowing where he stands and it isn't with me..Did that make sense???

Yeah, since you know my background, I thought you'd know what I was talking about..

I can't shake my weight, though I've had to accept it... it affects me quite a bit and I worry it will cause further problems. And of course bills plague our household... wherever we go whatever we want to do we always have to think twice or even thrice before thinking we can do anything besides pay bills and buy groceries.

I am one of those people that at times can't forget bad things or annoying this that happen from the past. Something or someone will somehow trigger the old memories and then it takes for ever to try and forget about them all over again until something triggers it again. A memory can be a great thing and sometimes not.

I think I have 2: an ex-boyfriend & an ex-husband. I'm over both of them, but they were just so mean to me & they both caused major problems for me that have extended on into my current situation, even though they have both been out of my life for years. It's like I want to forgive them, but I know they're not sorry. And then there's my dad, who was abusive. And the "forgiving" thing is pretty much the same with him.
I'm really sorry about your migraines. Hope you can get rid of them soon! :)

well for me it not seeming able to getting to have a normal life, there is always something that goes wrong. I know this sounds like I am whining but unfortunately it is true.

for me the plague is lack of appetite.
it's really hurting my performance at work and I don't look healthy
I'm seeing a psychiatrist (to find out if it's really eating disorder as in bulimia/anorexia, because there are many stages of eating disorder and underlying issues) and a nutritionist (I still eat so they can help me eat the right nutrition at least)

A person.....one I once loved. And felt so hurt when he left...becaues I thought he really loved me.....just goes to show that as much as you believe in someone they still can let you down. Its been seven years since I have seen him..but he haunts me because so much of my poetry I wrote for him.

Great discussion. I think mine is my struggle with my weight. Lost 26 lbs and have now regained 10lbs
always such hell to keep reasonably fit and with high bp the extra weight is not good for me to carry around. so I have to just start again walking on the wii every morning and cutting down on the fatty foods that I have been consuming. It is just that fat makes food taste so good!

I have a lot of health problems that got me on disability. But I only see one as a plague and it's my migraines because it has invaded my life on a daily basis and affects every aspect of it. That's why I call it a plague. You know how Paul asked God to take away the his thorn? When I was a kid I assumed it was migraines!

I guess my own personal plague would be anxiety. I get anxiety so bad that I can’t speak. Lately, though, I’ve been better about not having the aphasia (not being able to speak)… I have decided to stay away from the person who triggered this kind of anxiety in me in the first place. I blocked him so that he can’t even IM me… and I’m doing much better since I have not been interacting with him at all.

I just want a badge saying Family is best when being far away, I think this says it all. Oh how happy I am to have been able in that wonderful 2011 to make significant steps away from these people who always tried to give me a bad conscience, tried to mold me into someone I never would want to be and let me down when I needed help.......

Indecisiveness, I guess, maybe, or maybe not. I cannot make up my mind. I am not making fun either, I tend to come up with a ton of options for everything and never really get it solved.
