    If I could change one thing, I would have spent less time learning things I didn’t need to know at such a young age. As a kid, I had a strong interest in medical things- probably as a way to control things- if I knew a lot then maybe I could prevent medical issues for myself. Instead all it did was scare me. I knew more than I should have known. And I was proud of it at the time. And i carry those stories with me now. And they have created the fear and the what if’s and the hyper-vigilance that cause me symptoms and keep my symptoms going.

    The second part to the question asked was what steps i could take to change. And I know I need to rewrite the stories in my head.

    I just don’t know how yet.
