I know negative thoughts make me feel worse and exacerbate my constant anxiety and occasional panic attacks. However, I also sense that there is a fundamental imbalance in my brain, on an organic level, that lies at the root of my suffering. I live with constant headaches and other pain symptoms, especially in my spinal column. After nearly 10 years of this nightmare, I suspect that I am not getting enough (if any) stage 4 sleep, also known as deep sleep. I am starting to believe that the meds I take block this stage of sleep, and are therefore responsible for my chronic illness. Had I steered clear of meds, I might have recovered long ago! Sorry if this posting upsets some people...I'm just throwing this out for discussion.
