Dysregulation.
One of the hardest things about all of these types of syndromes is the dysregulation. What do I mean by dysregulation?
The nervous system and body has natural processes embedded into it to keep us always in balance: to make us tired at night, to give us energy in the day, keep us warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. In chronic syndrome conditions often these core mechanisms are thrown out of balance.
Living in this kind of situation, day in, day out, can be a path of incredible hardship; especially when the world asks you to put on a either a brave face, a mask, or maybe even denies that your condition exists (due to a lack of "concrete evidence"). So, if you have one of these conditions, I ask you: what increases regulation in your life? It could be anything from gentle excercise to good company, or time with loved ones. One of the greatest things I've found that brings regulation back into my nervous system is sharing openly with other human beings in an atmosphere of being real and honest. That is one of the core roles of the group (in person and online) I've created serves: what the space of this group allows us to do. Please get in contact if you are one of the many chronic syndrome sufferers on the Coffs Coast. Send me a private message or an email @ chronicsyndromesaustralia@gmail.com
