Prayer Circle
Related: About this forumPlease pray
All, if you can, please say a prayer for me that my life will improve. That I'll have family support. They haven't been supportive and I feel like a burden.
Pray that i work out what's best for me with my partner. That I have enough money to leave. That my jaw pain resolves.
That something positive happens. TIA

It wasnt easy, my Friend, but I will tell you what I learned youre stronger than you think you are. If you are truly committed to live a life free from abuse, youll find lots of support out there wherever you are. Ill hold you close in my thoughts as you have some decisions to make and prepare for what you want for yourself. (( ))

Depending upon your state / area, some women's shelters can help get you into an apt & even to get a job if you want one.

(3,213 posts)In fact, I've been praying daily. Just felt nudged by something you said here one time. I have my daily reminders popup, so just had prayed earlier today.
Some good food for thought from some of those who have posted. So glad for their wisdom. Prayers for your safety as you move to safety and away from toxic people.
We are here for you!

But clearly you need to work out the family and relationship issues to alleviate the long-term stress.

I did clench my jaw for a few years (anxiety related) I lost a tooth bc of it.
I finally thought this up for myself.
It worked! 👍
Anyway, pick a color that is most relaxing to you.
Then on each side of your jaw imagine this color gently enveloping the top of the big jaw muscle on each side. Let the color expand, and gently slide down the muscle on each side till it reaches the bottom of your jaw.
Hold the color all over, and gently open your jaw about half an inch then let it close slowly, and let the color drain out the bottom of the muscle.
Repeat If needed.
I hope this'll bring some relief. It might take some tries. Good Luck!
