I think my struggle with chronic pain has really burnt me out and held me back for a very long time. Chronic head and facial pain since a teen, I had a lot of ortho work as a child for an underbite.. Learned a lot about tmj disorder, tongue ties, PT or cranial fascial therapy, airway/jaw development, “leaky gut”/dysbiosis and more. I feel drawn to starting to share on social media and create a guide to help others, it’s just starting that’s difficult and I am still struggling. I did NCR (endonasal balloon and bodywork) long ago and it changed symptoms. A cranial DO said facial bones “restricted”? I get discomfort in my nose area, jaw and top of head and causes major depression. I also am wondering if I have ADD or depression that I should treat with meds or not needed.

This has been an intense year and have been alone a long time, had to move, lost best friend, messed up a potential in real life connection with a great guy and he said he didn’t want to revisit things..I feel very messed up from this as I hoped he’d at least agree to meet me just once, did chin lipo as it was really holding me back and avoided others, financial worry, starting wearing CPAP and at least feel more alive from that and less brain dead I think?

I feel interested in going for cancer registry program or entry level health information management jobs to see if I even like it, chart abstraction or HIM bachelors if even needed for stability (I feel I’d be a good nurse but I’m not sure about direct patient care) but also am curious on starting own business above all I think and may try that before investing in school again. Very analytical, would like teaching aspect with health root causes maybe, empathetic. Considered health coach program but figured I’d try on own first and unsure I’d enjoy accountability aspect if usually apart of that. Haven’t worked for a few years besides some self employment stuff.

I have a feeling I need to consult a tmj dentist, ask if need PT or cranial fascial therapy, go back to a neurologist to treat symptoms maybe at least. I’ve spent a decade suffering with brain fog, fatigue, chronic pain. But money is a major stressor right now. One NCR doctor told me I had a “crown brain structure” energetically from “conception trauma” and that could explain the symptoms if only some cranial bones moved and it stayed restricted, and she proposed distant energy work with peak states. I don’t know if that’s the true issue or it’s a physical TMJ/cranial issue.

Does anyone have any insights for me as to root causes or what to focus on? Or my gifts and jobs that fit best?

It’s been a powerful surrender and acceptance of what is and feels very intense.

I’m 31, 210 lbs, 5’5 and did lipo + renuvion last mid November. I have residual softness and blending maybe due to soft jaw structure and chin, but feel so much better now. It basically became an obsession, and I even let it stop me from going on a date with someone sadly.

One doctor said I was in between lipo and a lift and didn’t recommend lipo without tightening, another said I’d be fine with regular, and another said I’d be unhappy, that tightening was a scam, and that he’d do a submentoplasty. I cried and was so overwhelmed.

I did the local and anti anxiety med route. Would’ve done the drip or whatever I think if I knew more about it. I felt really weird after, BP stayed raised for awhile and it felt a bit traumatizing to say the least lol.

I don’t know if regular lipo would’ve given the same result for less or if a lift would’ve given better results. But I’m okay with it and feel so relieved and more like myself now.

Hardest year of my life. Looking for any intuitive insight on love, health, and life direction (including career or independent work).

I’ve struggled with chronic symptoms for a long time and it’s affected my confidence and decisions. I feel like I may have missed something with someone because I avoided meeting due to that, and I’m unsure if that path is closed or not.

I’m also in another situation that hasn’t progressed after a long time and feels uncertain.

Just wondering if anything positive is coming in these areas, or any insight on my life path and where my energy should be going.
