    NHS booklet for 'Medically Unexplained Symptoms' & a Central Sensitivity Syndrome, e.g. FM & CFS

    Go well. Thankfully people are much more open to mindbody approach now including NHS clinicians. Primary care physicians feel hopelessly ill informed but the specialists are catching on

    Love it. You can't possibly love your neighbour if you're not going to love yourself

    Grieving time

    this is great! I have hit many KPIs early - albeit missing the one "KPI" my wife and I heart long........but our future children need a emotionally mature dad and mum, so there is purpose in the waiting. I have realised the KPI hitting is futile - even though on the surface I said my identity...

    Grieving time

    You're all so beautiful. Thanks for journeying with me in this wobble. When I'm in an anxiety bout, I really struggle to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith. I guess threat physiology hacks meaning ❤️ and it compresses time and speeds up time at once. Genuine thanks ❤️

    Grieving time

    Blinking nora - today is Monday and it still continues....but I recognise this as TMS. this is the latest obsession. I am aware of my physical symptoms but not obsessed by them- but I am now about these existential questions......... In some respects, I now see why the brain creates symptoms -...

    Grieving time

    Your compassion in this moves me greatly. Thank you so much. In many respects, I'm grateful this 'mid life crisis' is happening relatively early on. But its also a grief of how long I've spent worrying about stupid shit. My wife and I are also navigating a fertility journey - perhaps...

    Grieving time

    Hi all - support appreciated I’m 32 and over the past week I’ve been hit by a really intense mix of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. It came on quite suddenly after I slowed down and stopped distracting myself. Now everything feels very full-on. I’m grieving the past in a way I...

    Grieving former and future life

    Hey ! What are the emotions that underpin this? I often will look at a photo when I'm younger and get upset. Used to think because pre symptoms. Unpack more and there are some emotional cues to process and journal. Opportunity to go deeper!

    Beating symptom imperatives

    Hey all I've got stubborn arm and hand sensations but today I want to celebrate!!!! The sensations travelled to the neck. For a second, i thought here we go again...... but I was also greatly encouraged. This is the symptom imperative. As I get more confident in dialling down fear, it felt...

    I'm back...

    That's great @Cactusflower . Tbh I do lots of fun things. I'm 100% mobile as I know it's sensitization so don't not do anything. I think I just have awareness now that even when I'm 'good' I'm checking all the time. I'm in this boom and bust cycle. But that's my fault. When I come out of a...

    I'm back...

    Hey all I'm back...... How annoying. I thought I was OK. My brain and spine MRIs came back absolutely fine. It was enough to help me cope for 6 weeks. Then the panic set in. Even when I'm "good", the hypervigilance and checking is clearly an issue and my nervous system is always bracing...
