I have reflux esophagitis.

I had gastrointestinal discomfort in January, so when I did an examination, I was diagnosed with reflux esophagitis.

Every day, I make various efforts to cure my illness (diet, stress relief, etc.)
“When will it get better?”
“When will this effort pay off?”
Every time I think about things like that, I get stressed, and my heart sinks.
How should I feel so that my illness heals as soon as possible?

Illness is part of me

Buddhism is a teaching to think deeply about “old age illness and death.”
Why do we get sick, why do we have to have such a hard time...

Everyone thinks about it when they get sick.

Now, on a different note, have you ever thought about how much your internal organs work every day?

My heart is beating every day without resting at all. My stomach is trying my best to improve absorption even a little bit.
The intestines are also working hard to deliver lots of nutrients.

Every internal organ of the counselor is working desperately to keep the counselor alive.

However, there are times when conditions are bad, such as when a car engine breaks down.
Also, it's because of someone I'm trying to keep alive (binge drinking, eating, stress)
It can also hurt.

Illness is not a disaster that comes from outside.
It's a part of me, just like my own internal organs.

If you are consulting on this site, I think they are also interested in Buddhism.
There is also a teaching that “it's great to be interested in Buddhism due to illness.”

How about using this disease as an opportunity to learn about the “way to deal with illness” in Buddhism.
I'm sure it will come in handy for the rest of my life!!

Coexistence without fighting

 Although the name of reflux esophagitis is astonishing, it is not such a rare disease. I am also often warned when I go to health checkups. “Your esophagus is red.”

Also, the treatment methods told by the doctor should only be things that even healthy people should do.
Let's get rid of the disease and do something about it without being too impatient! I think it would be nice if I intended to coexist with this stomach that produces too much stomach acid without thinking about it. I think I was completely cured by the time I forgot about my illness.

Be careful not to binge eat or take too many stimulants even if you recover. Please take good care of it.

You may be overly aware of someone

It looks like they are putting themselves in a place where tension runs high.
There are people who are afraid or people who care.
Aren't there one-way people?
It doesn't become a conversation.
An intimidating person.
You've unwittingly cared about that person.
Is your relationship with your mother good?
There is a lack of communication, and I think they have personally completed the conversation with that person from within.
Then it leads to stress and tension, the stomach shrinks, and leads to reflux esophagitis.
If you have any ideas, please reply.
