I’m curious to know for all my family out there, what music do you listen to when coping or trying to connect with your higher power? If you don’t have a higher power, what do you use to connect with yourself at the deepest levels?

I have insomnia because it was about to rain. Still can't sleep. Do I get up and clean up something small or big, so something else serious, or binge watch the TV / read a dumb /fun/pre textbook still. It's 330 where I am so hurry up and answer, lol 8+) be cool.
I have tried Insight Timer. It has many different meditations and even LOA affirmations. Sometimes, though, I fall asleep while they're talking and then wake up when they finish, so oh, well.
His name is Bugsie, were together 24\7, sometimes he's my only company. He warns me when Ive got a migraine coming on. He keeps me active when I'm able but is quite happy just hanging out on the couch watching a movie or curling up in bed with me in bad days. He also keeps me calm through stressful situations - I have a paradoxical reaction to anxiety meds, so he is my anxiety 💊. When were out he's strictly business but relaxes & let's loose at home. I don't think I'd make it out of bed or leave… read more

I’ve been in a flare since around Thanksgiving, I also took two Falls in the same night affecting my neck and shoulders mostly, I followed up with my surgeon; but, X-rays didn’t show anything. I’ve been bed ridden since. My question is this, how can I sleep for more than an hour or so without waking from the pain? (My sides are my only option for sleeping due to 7 Spinal surgeries.) I can’t get out of my house for any length of time, my walls are closing in on me!!! Any suggestions greatly… read more

How long did it take for u to get depressed once u started having pain every day? What treatments did you have to help..
Other than therapy and antidepressants?
I've used music , art and other distractions but sometimes that stuff doesn't help. And what happens when u can't hardly walk because of the pain? Do u just fade into seclusion? How do you get up and going when u feel like giving up?

We all rest. I am almost professional at it. I awake some times feeling well rested, other times I am immediately ready to go back to sleep again.
Weed. You will feel better and get sleep.
