    This video spoke to me! You’re so brave and you’ve come so far gal ! 👏🏻☺️ Just turned 24 and within the last year i have and still in the process of being diagnosed with. ADHD, BDP (Quiet) Fibro /CFS, CPTSD, eating disorders, disassociation and more. All because of how consumed I was by life, which cause disassociation from trauma and I lost all self awarenesses. I’m in the process of healing and learning about spirituality and it has saved my life.

    After almost 3 years going to all doctors of all specialties, doing all kinds of exams and trying all kinds of medications and physical exercises, yesterday I got my medical report on depression and fibromyalgia. I acquired a resistance to pain that I didn't expect, I got used to always being at my limit and this was essential for the depression to arise. Today is my first day medicating myself with the right medications, but it's still a very painful reality to accept because I'm so young. And generally the content related to fibromyalgia doesn't come from people who appear to be my age, which makes me even more lonely. Thank you for your video and for the sensitivity and courage to share your feelings.

    I am so glad I found this video. Working out has been so hard since developing fibro and it made me feel so much better seeing you take breaks at the same time I needed them intermittently. That's something you just don't see often in others workout videos and it makes me feel discouraged. Thank you so much!

    It's actually all about becoming healthy and just let nature take its course. Try looking into Steffon Barkload's option for one of these plans that only take about an hour, you get zero withdrawal and also you do not have to rely upon others to make decisions for you.

    Awesome perspectives! Mindfulness is so important - I discuss it in the last video on my channel also in a parenting context; I hope our videos inspire people to be mindful! Just subscribed to your channel too.
