Hi everyone, sorry for the radio silence on here!
A little update on where I’ve been. I fell and slipped a disc in my back a few weeks ago and ended up losing feeling in my feet, so I was put on nerve medication and some very strong anti-inflammatories.
Unfortunately, the nerve meds caused some awful side effects. After four nights with almost no sleep, I was having constant panic attacks, shaking, vomiting, shortness of breath, and really frightening thoughts, and I ended up in hospital.
The ED team was incredible. They saw me straight away because they were worried it could be heart-related. Thank God my heart and lungs were all okay, and it turned out it was the medication causing everything. That setback really knocked my rehab around and made things harder, and I’ve also had to retrain my brain to feel safe again, switch off the high alert, and just rest and sleep.
Jas, my mum, dad, close friends that Jas told, and clients have been amazing during this time. I am honestly so, so lucky to have Jas and my parents. Without their help and support, my recovery wouldn’t have been anywhere near as smooth. ❤️❤️
I also haven’t been allowed to use screens (hence no posts), caffeine, or any stimulants while recovering, so I’ve been keeping life very simple with lots of R&R. Now that I'm feeling a lot better upstairs, I can fully focus on fixing my back.
This has definitely been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with by far, but it’s also been a huge blessing. I’ve seen just how lucky I am to have the people I do around me, and what I can achieve with their help. 😊❤️
I guess the takeaway for me, and anyone going through something at the moment, is that it’s just a moment. Don’t give up. I know it feels easy to, but don’t. On the other side of this is strength, a new start, growth, learning, and gratitude. I’m feeling very, very grateful for all the little things, and I’ve grown closer with people I didn’t think I could get any closer to through this challenge.
So if you are struggling mentally or physically, it will pass, but you have to accept it, sit with it, and then work on it. All three are so, so important. ❤️
If you want to chat, flick me a voice message. I’m still not on screens much, but I just wanted to update everyone on why I haven’t posted for a while.
Thanks everyone for supporting Mindset and me. It means a lot guys. 😊😊❤️
