How often is too much for massages

[BlueBrickRoad]

Basically the past few months since march has been hell for me. I do try and keep somewhat of a positive attitude but it's been hell.

I am faces a few different t challagnes in my life.

The biggest thing is harassment from a group because personality disordered individual and there isn't any professional to help me stop it because likely they are afraid of their own livelihoods being ruined. It's long term harassment. If it wasn't for this I think I would be able to face other challagnes.

There is a huge burden on me now.

Last week I am to a place where I thought, I need a massage in my life right now. I took what I could get last minute for last weekend and I booked a back, neck, should hot stone massage. It was lovely.

However I am now back to my ordinary every day life.

Work was incredibly intense today. Home was so stressful too.

I would love to book a full body massage. This is what I really think I need and I needed it last week too. I have so much tension and heaviness all over my body.

I am thinking I I book something for this weekend should it be too much? Will I book with the same establishment or go somewhere else. See if some other massage therapist can take me.

I decided this week that I will likely try and get a monthly massage from now on until the foreseeable future.

My head and how it feels. It feels like people ahs just kicked and smashed my head in without ever touching me. This is the pressure in my life right now. I was nearly put to tears in work today.

By which standards would it be too much? If you can afford it, go for it.

I go every week

you like it and can afford it?
go for it!

I'm likely going to K (ill) myself. Such is the level of fucking shit that is flung at me frome every angle. I don't have a current plan to do anything but things are bad. Very fucking bad and it's all other people's bullshit. As soon as I finish this cunt job for today I will go home and drink what I can get my hands on. Fucking bastards everywhere.

I have one every week too, it’s fine

I am new to a massage clinic in the city. Would I have to explain myself if I need to book more massage?

I am under intense stress. That is translating into every piece of my body.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are dealing with so much.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we tend to add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek help and support in real life as well.
We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.💐

@BlueBrickRoad I think it is fine to have as many massages as you want as long as you can afford it.

You sound like you are having a very difficult time at the moment, are you getting any other help or support?

No massage clinic will expect an explanation for frequent massages.

It does sound like you need more than a massage though. Who is harassing you? What are they doing - it could be a police matter potentially?

I go weekly. Long term condition that causes pain and tight muscles. It's a good maintenance routine and I'd go more if I could afford it.

Many of the places around here offer discounts if you are a regular ie weekly.

Just say you are going through some personal stress they won't ask for an explanation though.

I am autistic and used to pay for monthly deep tissue but I can no longer afford it. I do understand why you need it though. I do a little yoga at home on you tube instead.

I think the massage clinic would be delighted! Just explain you’re under severe stress and feeling very tense and the last massage helped. That’s enough explanation- massive compliment to them and they’ll be happy to have a regular paying customer.

alongside the massage, have you ever tried magnesium? I’ve recently started taking it for stress, anxiety and sleep issues. It help with all of those but also sore muscles/joints and general aches & pains

So sorry OP I posted that bit about magnesium before seeing your recent update. Please please seek some support as suggested by others. How insensitive of me. Hope you feel better soon
