J'ai fait un certain nombre de tests et d'analyses et tous sont revenus n\u00e9gatifs, heureusement. Cependant, pendant un temps, j'ai pens\u00e9 que je devenais folle, mais cela a vite chang\u00e9. J'ai fait des recherches sur mes sympt\u00f4mes et j'ai d'abord pens\u00e9 qu'il s'agissait de SEP, car les sympt\u00f4mes semblaient identiques, mais ensuite, j'ai creus\u00e9 davantage et je suis tomb\u00e9e sur la fibromyalgie. Les sympt\u00f4mes correspondaient parfaitement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I was plagued by: Unrestful sleep, all over pain, daytime fatigue, IBS-C, headaches, fibro fog, and painful periods.&nbsp;I've since developed tinnitus (which comes and goes) and non-allergic rhinitis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I'm still depressed, but that's also because I'm unemployed (despite having a history degree) and I have no financial freedom as a result of this.&nbsp;I am a writer&nbsp;by trae, it's one of my passions, along with fashion , social media, and crime studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">My dream would be to finally get that novel finished (I'm good at starting things but not at finishing) and get it published.&nbsp;I'd also love to have a popular blog, but it's just so competitive in the blogosphere and besides&nbsp;I have so many interests, it's hard to decide on one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In the meantime, I've settled on writing guest posts.&nbsp;I've been lucky to write for over twenty blogs and penned over forty articles in the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">\u00catre atteint d\u2019une maladie chronique n\u2019aide pas les choses et le brouillard fibromyalgique rend la r\u00e9flexion et l\u2019\u00e9criture plus difficiles qu\u2019elles ne devraient l\u2019\u00eatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I also was anxious and depressed because this did not make sense. I was a formerly fit&nbsp;young person. I ate well and exercised. I was thin and never touched a beer, a cigarette, or a joint in my life. I never partied or otherwise abused my body. I was thankfully never in a big accident or caught a big virus. like Lyme disease. I'd taken some tumbles as a kid and in the winter on ice as a young adult, but none that forced me to have a cast or have bed rest.I didn't have any childhood history of chronic health issues or a family disposition of genetic issues, either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">C'\u00e9tait un myst\u00e8re, comme les myst\u00e8res europ\u00e9ens que j'aime regarder de temps en temps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">2019 est arriv\u00e9.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Au d\u00e9but de cette ann\u00e9e-l\u00e0, j'ai d\u00e9couvert la personne hautement sensible (HSP). C'\u00e9tait apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9couvert que j'\u00e9tais un INFJ, sur le MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">It all made sense. It explained my&nbsp;past. Why I had been dragging my feet when all the other kids seemed to be unfazed.&nbsp;Why I seemed to make everything more intense than it was. Why I had trouble sleeping.&nbsp;It didn't help that due to my mom going back to school full time, we moved six times in ten years, between ages two and twelve.<br>&nbsp;It was just a blur of houses, schools, and neighbourhoods. Not to mention I was bullied a lot....<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I eventually didn't want to make friends, because we'd just up and move. My mother was emotionally&nbsp;immature and parentified me and never tended to my emotional needs. However, it's not surprising as she's an&nbsp;Adult Child of Alcoholic&nbsp;( ACOA). Her father was an alcoholic who psychologically and financially&nbsp;scarred her and her two siblings for life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Moreover, she split from my cheating dad when I was two and he died of a heart attack when I was three. There are two points on the Adverse Childhood Experiences score (ACEs) right there.&nbsp;His death prompted her to change her career path from geology to criminal law and as I mentioned above, we up and moved a lot, another disruptive thing in a child's life. It's not included in the ACE score, nor is bullying, but they should be. My poor body is reeling from the effects of complex trauma and childhood emotional neglect, borne out of being raised by a traumatized, emotionally immature parent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Self care, self compassion and stress management are the ways in which symptoms are dealt with.&nbsp;Getting a decent night's sleep is also essential, as is connecting with others via social media and email whenever possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"translation-block\">Jade Bald est originaire de l'Ontario, au Canada.
