Hi everyone.
A new member here, hoping to share and support, and hopefully get support in return.
I didn’t even really realise I had anxiety. I nursed my mum through a terrible cancer last year, culminating in her death; then over Christmas and NY, my husband & I were in limbo wondering if he’d be one of the 17% of staff to be made redundant; I then developed a difficult chronic pain problem which went untreated due to COVID (it’s still not been cured); and it’s all affected me in a way I could never have imagined: Benign Fasciculation Syndrome.
Oh God! There is no respite from it. And the neurologist told me that “not thinking about it” will help it subside. Easier said than done when limbs are jerking and flailing.
I’m in pain, I feel low, I can now acknowledge that my stress is off the scale.
And it’d be wonderful to meet people on here with whom I can chat, lighten up, and offer & receive support.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all :)
