Genuinely sorry to hear you’ve been through that. It all kind of feeds into itself and can become a self fulfilling prophecy in a way. Very hard to think straight and find a way round it when anxiety is through the roof. Watching my dad go through the shit he’s had to deal with ,and is still dealing with ,has been so difficult. (Wracked with pain, pseudo seizures, personality changes, anxious as hell,etc.etc.). “All in his head”. I’m a health care professional and had never heard of fn pseudo seizures! Thought he was just having everyone on. I knew they weren’t “real” having seen lots of actual seizures, but couldn’t get my head round the fact that to him they are genuine. Total head fuck. His doctor is amazing though and has been brilliant at explaining things to my dad and especially my mum who has to deal with his stuff every day. He has made great progress at times, then falls back. Sorry to go on but I think I needed to get some shit off my chest.🤪

If you have an interest in this try a book by Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan “ It’s all in your head”. It gives an amazing insight into the subject. She also happens to be my dads doctor but that’s by the by.

Psycho-somatic illness is surprisingly common and a very misunderstood condition even by medical staff.

Looks like a Bob Ross painting, in a good way.

What an amazing picture. Great detail when zooming in. Love the Ents caught dancing on the lower left corner.
