Ahmad,

As Umair has said above - state of mind is 80 percent of the battle.  Perception is EVERYTHING.  If you can learn to angle your perception you WILL feel different. 

Also, as Andy has said there are physiological reasons for feeling blue as well.  Chelation is life to thals - chelation is physical and mental well being.  The more compliant you are to a chelation regimine and the lower your iron levels the better quality of life you will live as a thal - case closed.  So if you are not already then you must do this now. 

Next, you need to incorporate and very nutritious diet and supplements into your life.  Please see more information regarding supplements because they will definitely affect the quality of your life in every way.  They will ease your pain, they will enhance your mood and protect your body from iron damage so do not delay in starting on them.  If you have questions ask ask ask - we will give you answers and we will guide you.  Omega 3-6-9 supplements may help with your mood as well.  Try to begin taking IP6 and the various other supplements that are recommended.  Also be sure that you are getting your mineral supplements such as calcium, magnesium, zinc with vitamin d (we recommend Osteocare). 

Realizing how much control you actually have over your physical and mental self will help you tremendously so know that - you can't control everything but you can control your habits and your focus. 

Best of luck,

Sharmin

  Ahmad,

 what you may feel is absolutely justified. I believe all thals have such crisis sometime during their lives. When you face thal, it is normal to wonder why you have to face it and try to find an answer. The important thing,though, is to rise above  it and proceed with your life.

As Andy very well puts it, you must "rule thal". That's the point. And you are going to do that, only if you develop your personality and do not let thal be an obstacle.

My idea is that...that's life. We face thal, other people face more difficult situations than ours.That's life. Personally I never thought that God wanted to test me for something. And if I was born again, of course I would prefer to be healthy instead of thal. Then again, if someone asked me: "do you prefer not to be born at all, instead of be born a thal?", my answer would be: "I prefer to be born a thal than not to be born at all." Because life has made me fight for my health, but life has also made me enjoy other things that a lot of people on this planet are deprived of.

Thal is our way of life. We have to accept it and rise above it.That's life and life is beautiful, no matter what.

Lena.

Dear Ahmad,

I have been meaning to write this for quite sometime but your post prompted me to write it sooner.  Please visit this post:

I hope that my post and what ideas others offer in response to mine will be helpful to you.
