I went dark for two years, I cut off basically every I knew, left it all, and went inside myself. It's time to start sharing what got me here... this is just an opening, a beginning. I have been called to share my journey with you all. The story which brought me here. It's not a pretty tale, but it is beautiful ✨️
Being diagnosed with a serious chronic illness is a strange thing. All sorts of emotions, fear, dread, self hatred, frustration, desperation, depression, anxiety... they all crept in and took up residence in the body. I felt so afraid and lost. But there was a silver lining, there always is. It's not all doom and gloom but it's time to honour this story, for I am the protagonist, the observer, the narrator, the creator, and the plot 🔮
For over a decade this body had been falling apart, new pains, slowly less mobility, less flexibility, random inexplicable immune responses, doctors telling me it's all in my head, psychotic and manic episodes, unexplained symptoms again and again. Eventually I was given token diagnoses, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, fibromyalgia, Emotionally Unstable Peronsality Disorder, Bipolar, Auto immune... what did all this mean? Why was it happening to me? Why was life so unfair? Oh the thoughts that spiralled...
It was the body and soul SPEAKING to me "stop ignoring me... I'm telling you something... do I need to scream?!" And yes, she did need to scream, she screamed so loud my body stopped working. Because I was NUMB. How else was she going to get my attention??
Needless to say it worked, I listened, I'm still listening, the work is not done, some symptoms remain, but I know that these illnesses are not me, I am not them, they are just labels for the symptoms of living in a society with it's priorities backwards. Now I live for me, and for those I am here to connect with, for God, for love.
To anyone who is considering listening to the signals you're being given, take this as your sign to LISTEN and watch the magic unfold.
I will continue to share my story in the hopes it inspires those who need to hear it ♥️ ✨️
