I can't help think that you'd be better off thanking God for the million blessings you have had, and still have, than focusing on the things you think are cruel.
oh that's horrible. of course you are angry - especially about the rapes. i hate men who do that - they deserve to be castrated with dull knives. practical help: have you seen a doctor about that? just to be sure for pregnancy and/or STDs? did you press charges or have you talked to a victim's advocate?
as far as constant pain: would it help to keep a pain diary so that doctors can see a pattern possibly? where is it localized?
if you are interest in help, i very gently suggest celebrate recovery. its a christian recovery group for anyone.

Hell yes! It was someone I was going out with, it was all fine and dandy till he did a 360 on me :( But! I pressed charges, he had jail time, and he got deportation!
I'm keeping a medical diary sort of. One is for epilepsy, one is for this, one for that - and it helps them a bit but so far no luck :(
good! i am glad you had that closure, as painful as it must have been.
:( i will keep praying. Mystery Diseases are no fun at all. heck, even diseases that have a name but no cure or anything aren't all that fun! (i have a few)
*hands tylenol and/or chocolate* not sure if you drink at all, but i have found that a small glass of wine tends to have a calming effect occasionally. i am very careful with it since my dad was an alcoholic and i REALLY don't want to end up like that.
sounds like we might have similar stories. heh yea thats true wine has some.
not to minimize pain or anything, but you mentioned arthritic knees and a friend of mine has that but can practice yoga. i do it too, and its really relaxing.
I do a bit of it :) Plus swimming helps :) My knees, of out physical annoyances, are the least of my worries (still a pain in the ... knees ho ho ho), but it's not the biggest problem, you know? (It's a *&^% to walk upstairs though - THANK YOU GOD FOR PUTTING THE IDEA OF ELEVATORS IN THAT ONE GUY'S BRAIN!)
I know this isn't really the time or place for solutions but I have two suggestions.
1. As you said, just let yourself vent and be angry. Scream, throw things, beat up pillows, whatever it is that you do. If you hold it in, it's only going to get worse. God can handle you being mad at him for a bit.
2. Have you ever thought to see an acupuncturist for the pain. I had chronic pain that the doctors didn't understand and acupuncture has completely removed it.

My mom!
I do drink, but not often (only because it has so many calories and carbs and things and I'm trying to lose weight, haha)
