Hi,
Many of you who have been following my posts know that I have advocated meditation as a relief for CH's. I still do and I have not had one in a while. But I feel it important to fill you all in on what is happening to me. I have become a little depressed, not dysfunctionaly depressed, but a general sadness has filled me the last few days and my energy level is really low; I also have to force myself to eat. I believe, I almost want to say I know, I am feeling this way because cruddy feelings are coming to the surface now that thorugh meditation I have stopped running from. I believe this because these feeling actually seem to be eminating from my chest area, the exact area where I have always felt the tension that seems to lead to my CH's. I am not miserable, I actually feel fine otherwise, but I believe it is only fair and the right thing to do to be honest about what this route can entail. Of course, being sad does not hurt.
CH-Free days and sleep-filled nights to you.
John
