Slammed by pain
Slammed by pain from psychotropic drugs again--it isn't speed that sends all of my back muscles, groin muscles and lats into spasmic pain. I can hardly hold my arms up or turn my head when driving. This isn't speed--this is an anti-psychotic. I knew something was very wrong when I couldn't work out at the gym earlier today. Had NO energy and the legs just wouldn't move. I tried to pray, first by going to sit in the church, then later on a walk, and finally and yoga. I couldn't even do a basic contemplative meditation at yoga. I am so alienated from reality that I couldn't even focus on a mind body connection. It is just the oppressive and painful blankness. And it is very painful. I was crying as I tried to do a basic, simple pose that I could do yesterday. By back is spasmed into such a curve that it hurt to lay down in corpse pose, even with a blanket under my knees. And walking, forget it. I try to go for a walk before yoga to clear my mind so I can more prayerfully participate, but it didn't work. The longer I walked the worse it got. Both my legs felt lame and totally numb after a very slow one hour walk. And even though the rational side of me said, what a beautiful day, my emotions were completely dead, and my spirit was totally alienated. No prayer today. But I am more worried about the pain. My arms can't type anymore. They hurt too much. Life sucks big time. I hate life. I hate my body. And most of all, I hate the people who are doing this to me. Jesus can love them. I am not capable of love right now. I am not capable of any emotion except pain, rage, and despair.
