You’ve probably been working very hard at this
The reading. The protocols. The elimination diets, the supplements, the next practitioner, the next approach. Trying to think your way out, and then trying to stop thinking, and finding that made it louder.
None of that was foolish. It's what we're told to do. Take personal responsibility. Find the thing that works.
But for anyone living with something chronic, that advice has a cruelty hidden inside it — because if healing is your responsibility and you're still unwell, then you must be failing at it.
You are not failing at it. It was never your job.
I’ve Been Where You Are
Anxiety. Bipolar. Psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis. Multiple sclerosis that took my ability to walk. Thirty-eight years of it, starting as a child — I lost a third of my body weight in grade school from anxiety alone, and they told my parents it was nervous colitis and sent me home.
I've spent the last fifteen years well.
I can't tell you exactly why, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I can tell you is what changed first: I stopped taking my mind as a source of truth.
Everything else followed from there. I'm not against doctors. Mine kept me alive, and what they do matters. They just don't live in your body, and they were never going to be able to do this part for you.
