I have now a little control on my ghosts, but I am so troubled, touched, so close to cry just as you have described exactly who I was, so depressed and so close to the death by my hand. I started therapy because I was not able to go further, I had physical pain with the psychological one. I don’t think that it was the meaning of my like, because I don’t think that such thing exist, it was above that, the core of living hopes. Therapy begun by speaking and … crying, at the end, it was about listening. We were deaf to our body, to advise, to our seIf. You conversation, where you answer to the tragic calls which you received, help me not to “turn my back” to my past and to the present of many. I don’t know how you do to say the right thinks and turn your past experience in helpful words, you never lectured, either moralized, but you say the true. I feel that is often difficult for you, sometime you are very emotional, close to cry, sometime you feel angry, trying to shack people. Either now, I don’t know what put me on right way. Was it only because I “hurt the rock bottom”? Please, think to realize a video about yours turning points and might be a other one your medical journey. I was very glad to see that you also did a fasting, a therapy , emptied many shelves of supplements and saw a chiropractor. So there is other like me, a other soul wander about ! The harder state mind is to feel loneliness and its sister the hopeless, not to feel solitude. I think that you made you from the solitude a mistress , which is a gift of the civilization and a fruit of our journey. Be kind for yourself and keep on tracking giving helpful word and hopefulness. Thank You.
Great video! You're really spot on with all of this! I listened to your recovery story on CFSUnravelled and it really moved me as I saw so many similarities between your recovery and my own! I now live a healthy life whilst doing paid work and exercising after a hell of a lot of work (nutrition,EFT,yoga etc) to get to that point! If you live near London,it would be great to grab a coffee one day. I really enjoy meeting fellow recoverers and sharing experiences :-)
I know that feeling.You become numb to suppress your feelings, because when you have a negative emotion it releases cortisol ( stress hormone) in your body & makes your symptoms worse. Worst feeling ever. Its a whole paradigm shift to get over CFS. Going through it now. Getting rid of the ego is spot on.
True, we have to accept where we're at and work from there, even if it hurts as fuck... especially when it hurts. No one has ever been so honest about this, you really helped me, especially with the social life part, thanks a lot. Lately I've been working on becoming more selfish, but I still do things and behave in ways that drain my energy just to please others.
Thanks for listing these again. Im about to turn 30 this year. Wont be recovered by then. Altho i made progress im not there yet. I can study now and getting my high school degree. But i’m worried about my hair falling out. I never had a GF and by the time im recovered im bald. I already have to shave it of. Im 5’6 and balding. I know i should look at it positivly and be confident but its hard to imagine an enjoyable life after recovery if i cant even be loved. Dont worry if you cant reply to this. I need to write it down on paper and burn it. Like u did.
All you can do mate is focus on what will get you closer to where you want to be. Any focus on things you can’t change is wasted and doesn’t help. It’s easier said than done and takes constant reminders. I used to do it when I was trying to heal. I’m a balding virgin who lives at home with my mum with no experience of anything etc etc . It doesn’t help mate keep focus on the stuff you want
hi its me again,i know its still early for me but i wanted you to know for the last 2 years i have had the most horrendous panic attacks,pain in chest,left arm numb,frozen,urinate myself they lasted 20 mins,with the most horrendous thoughts BUT they have compeletly gone and the fear of them has gone, i just know they are not going to happen,thanks again for not turning your back others after your recovery
I have tried that writing down the honest thoughts and emotions and then burning them. Well for me that was not enough because they don't leave completely, some part of them remains inside me and causes the pain. As far as I understand, this is what is called "release suppressed emotions"? Is there anything else to do about them? I have found Deepak Chopra's meditations and they do relax me, i listen to them over and over again. They are vedic sutras about space and mind, omnipresence etc. James what else did you do to relax and free your mind from unneeded thoughts except what you already said? Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for all you are giving to so many of us. Such a relief after all the positive thinking bullshit.
+cottagedweller no problem !

EFT, writing my thoughts down, meditation and now exercise really helps
