Physical & Emotional Symptoms

Within our Group Dynamics many of us are experiencing physical difficulties. We have a very strong connection to the people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast no matter how far away we have moved. No matter if we want to forget or re-focus, the fact still remains that we are survivors of Hurricane Katrina and the "Oil Spill".

We have suffered the loss of loved ones, a dramatic change in life, losing our family heirlooms, our special photos, things that we have a right to pass down to generations, psychological trauma. With all of the toxins we have inhaled our physical bodies have also gone through possibly more than it could endure.

I was recently talking to my cousin who is a research scientist in England. There are studies being done on the long term effects of natural disaster survivors. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are common among people who have suffered great loss.

Our spiritual selves and our Faith have also been tested. Our Spiritual development may have been accelerated which can cause emotional discomfort. We had to have faith and hope that God was still in our lives with all of the turmoil around us.

 

Here are some of our symptoms.

  • Strange rashes over the heart chakra
  • Itchy skin
  • Severe Mood swings
  • Lethargy
  • Unsafe feelings of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
  • Paranoid feelings
  • Unable to trust
  • Migraines
  • Chaotic Sleep Patterns
  • Blisters that we think are spider bites
  • Dizziness
  • Heart Palpitations
  • Emotionally Detached
  • Self induced Isolation
  • Coping Skills about a zero
  • Unable to maintain concentration
  • Strong Anger Issues
  • Losing Focus in a conversation
  • Loss of Joy or excitement
  • Destruction of Relationships
  • Self Sabotage
  • TMJ (jaw pain)
  • Obsessed with Teeth
  • Homesick
  • Inability to remember words needed for conversation
  • Grieving

The list is much longer. These are symptoms or behaviors that are not usually a part of your nature of personality.

In the following Blogs I will be sharing different techniques that have been useful in moving us forward and shifting us out of "standstill".
