It's been rough. I've had a lot of unexpected health problems - including emergency surgery to remove what turned out to be a very diseased gallbladder which almost exploded while passing a gallstone...and just a few months ago I had spinal surgery for a severely herniated disc. I've been very depressed because I have to take a lot of medication and it's been two years now that I've been on all the meds. I have to take Percocet (oxycodone) and Flexeril (a muscle relaxer) for the back pain (even though I had a fairly successful surgery it only helped lessen the pain; it didn't cure me because I have degenerative disc disease, I sustained permanent nerve damage because I put off the surgery for a long time, and I have bone spurs, osteoarthritis in my back, etc.). Due to a combination of all the stress and the meds I've had to take I've developed a serious anxiety/panic attack disorder so now I'm on Xanax too. So basically I've been forced into a corner and now I'm physically dependent on prescription medication. I want to get off the meds but at present I can't. I've weaned down as much as I can but I still have to take them to manage the back pain and the anxiety disorder.

I've tried all kinds of alternative healing modalities - going to a naturopath, homeopathy, hypnosis, massage therapy, crystal healing, meditation, prayer, everything. Nothing has worked except surgery and meds. So I'm feeling pretty low these days. I hate having to take the meds but without them I wouldn't be able to function, yet they are partly responsible for the depression, both mentally and physically - all three meds can cause depression and anxiety so put them all together and boom. It's like I'm trapped.

It's a very confusing mix. I've been in a difficult Neptunian kind of relationship (aren't they always...), and it's given me a lot of pain, but also some real insight into life and relationships, which most probably has been the intent (NN).

Chiron transits bring up things we thought we'd already dealt with.

Like, "Oh, you thought you were over this? Haha! Think again, buddy."
