You have to get worse before you get better
I feel like I am entering a downturn once again. During the first stage of my recovery, everything got worse for almost half a year; later, the main discomfort subsided a bit and plateaued. However, my brain changed its strategy: it spread the...
@BloodMoon Thank you for your thoughtful words, you truly always say just what I need to hear and it comforts my soul. Honestly, I have spent the entire morning crying. It is not even because of the symptoms right now, because physically I am already doing better, nor is it because of my father...
My path is not linear (and why I need to share this today)
This post will be a bit long because I have a lot to say, and I apologize for that. I had not posted in a while and only planned to do so if it was strictly necessary, but yesterday something happened to me and, obviously, I need you...

Mis síntomas coinciden bastante con los que usted experimenta. Se caracterizan por dolor nervioso bilateral en los brazos (principalmente en el izquierdo), así como sensación de ardor, hormigueo y rigidez en las pantorrillas o las piernas. También experimento dolores punzantes e intensos de...
«Look at this process as if it were a feedback loop that you have to break in order to heal. I recommend that you watch Dr. Schubiner's videos, but let me explain a bit how I understand it. Brain sensitization can happen for many reasons: childhood trauma, pressure, stress, self-imposed high...
"That’s true. It also helped me a lot to learn about other people's personal experiences, to know what the process was like, and what to avoid. The videos and posts by @miffybunny and @TG957, as well as the contributions from people like @BloodMoon and other users, have been very helpful to me...
