Hey folks, Well it's been a long time between updates, but I thought I'd drop in to wish you all a Happy 2011. This year has been pretty rough at times, but I seem to be recovering gradually. There is hope on the horizon. On a bad day it may feel like wishful thinking, but [...]
Chronic Fatigue Survivor's Blog
A blog about my experience recovering from Chronic FatigueBrowsing Posts tagged Anxiety
I'm currently in Brisbane visiting my father's family, motivated by my aunty's 80th Birthday. Technically, it's six months now since I began the Gupta Amygdala Retraining programme for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So I think it's time for a review. I say "technically", because I only really stuck to the programme for the first four of those [...]
There's some more research out confirming the association between XMRV and CFS. It's sounding more plausible to me, although I've no idea how I would have picked up XMRV. I wonder if it's possible to get tested for it, out here in far-flung Australia. Even if I was positive, there's no recommended treatment yet... so [...]
Couldn't get to sleep last night, so I stayed up late finishing off Richard Branson's autobiography Losing My Virginity. I love the guy's mindset; whatever he wants, he just goes after, seemingly without fear. Very inspiring. Woke up this morning feeling quite tense and agitated. My cold/flu is gone, so I'm back to just feeling [...]
Went to a humorous public speaking workshop today, which was good fun. Learned heaps, and decided to do a bootcamp on the topic on Monday/Tuesday. Didn't sleep brilliantly last night, but hey, what's new? Heading out tonight to do a little nightclubbing; I can afford to write tomorrow off. Don't think I'll stay overly late [...]
Last week I decided to visit a holistic healer who I met when I attended a workshop he ran on Men, Power and Sex. I was attracted to him because he's a guy, but unlike some of the male healer/counsellor/therapists I've met, he seemed particularly in touch with his masculinity. Growing up in a family [...]
I've just watched a fascinating discussion about anxiety on Insight, on SBS One. I have found anxiety to be one of the most disturbing aspects of chronic fatigue. And when I look back on the disturbing events of my life prior to becoming physically ill, anxiety is generally at the core of most of them. [...]
I've been taking things a little easier lately, and generally feeling better for it. I cut my acting practise back to two nights a week (instead of four), so I can accommodate the pick-up course I'm doing on two other nights a week. I get overwhelmed when I think how far I have to go [...]
I went out to lunch today with a friend I used to work with, about 10 years ago. I hadn't seen him since falling ill, and it was good to catch up again... even though my story wasn't as enlightened as I would have liked. After getting home, I was tidying up when I heard [...]
