    I have been having pulsating pain in my left breast. 

    I'm not sure what to make of this. 

    Worth checking. Not to sound gloomy, it might be connected with period hormones, ofc, but it also might be a cyst or something else.
    Better be safe than sorry.

    I've been in a similar situation. Turned out - gladly - that it were some tiny cysts that measure only a couple of millimetres but nothing that would be causing the pain. The pain was caused by stress mainly, but I'm not a doc to give you any prescriptions. 
    Hope everything will be OK, Preety_India.

    I can't say anything as wise as Michael already did, though I can share my personal experience.
    I fight this discouraging feeling by trying to focus on the sheer joy of a process, and the fact that this is all a journey for me, and not a destination. It could be exercising, diet, jogging, staying healthy... anything you like. 
    You also have to keep in mind that progress isn't an uninterrupted straight line pointing up. There are slumps, peaks, valleys, and plateaus.

    Well, @bhawananancy, that's pretty strange to revive this topic since it was started in 2016, long before you've signed up. 
    But, surely, everything that needs to be said has already been said.

    My recommendation to all of you is to research the best pillow for you so you don't have to wake up with any kind of pain and your spinal cord will thank you!

    That's if you haven't done any research on it...I woke up with neck pain and I was like wtf!?!?.. oh..hello..my stinky stupid feathered pillow is the culprit lol

    This might sound simple but...this could be seriously life changing...isn't it so funny.. a simple pillow can change the wellness of your life? lol

    HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GUYS.. IM OFF TO DO MORE RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!

    We all have our preferences, medical conditions, body types, different sleeping positions etc. So just posting "the (name) is best for sleep" is kinda ignorant. 
    offtopic: my personal goal is to sleep without a pillow at all. As far as I know, that's much healthier (natural at least) for your neck to use your own shoulder instead of a high pillow.

    Maybe your anxiety is caused by the fear of hurting & offending people. That's what caused my anxiety. And fear of being a bad person.

    And sometimes it's just the opposite - a fear of getting hurt/laughed/misunderstood. Really awful situation, since as a result it's very hard to get out of your comfort zone. It was my case. 

    Self esteem is the key.

    As Vipassana said, change doesn't happen randomly as a miracle. Push yourself, but not too hard. I'll try and try to focus, work, read, watch TV. Somedays though, the best thing is just to give up for a while. And never forget that can you ask your relatives for help. You're not alone.
    Try to do something meaningful when you feel down. On a bad day I try to do at least something that I consider meaningful in my life. I'll read some pages of a book, have dinner with my friend and so on. This way, when I go to bed, I'll have something to be proud and grateful about.
