While I'm gone, taking a little mental health time, buy my book! It'll be like I'm still here with you, sharing my experience.

My Memoir The Battle Within is a powerful, insightful memoir revealing the beast that is Lyme disease. Jana lays bare a life burdened by chronic illness and her epic battle...

So, folks, my dear friends...I have been really struggling with my mental health as of late. I share this with you as a cautionary tale. I am not afraid of therapy. In fact, I've worked with a few different therapists over the past few years. However, while I was in treatment it wasn't something I thought about. It is the one thing I wish I had to do over. I think all Lyme patients (particularly those of us who went undiagnosed for any length of time and therefore have a long, difficult road to recovery) should be in therapy during treatment. What you are experiencing is traumatizing. And it's exhausting and scary and lonely and demoralizing. Having someone to talk to, who can help you with tools to get through it mentally, is a critical part of healing. My anxiety is so bad right now, I'm struggling to leave the house. My heart feels sad and heavy. The only place I truly feel any comfort or peace is at home, in my bedroom, in my bed. I am in therapy again, and it's helping but it'll be a long, slow road as my body and nervous system learns to stay out of fight or flight and freeze/fawn. I'm working on it but as I do, I may not be around here as much. I promise, I'll be back. In the meantime, remember your mental health. Take care of your soul.

With everything you're going through, I imagine you could use a warm snuggle. Or maybe a cold snuggle to cool things down a bit as we cruise through the hot days of summer. I have 2 and it doesn't seem like enough. Follow this link for a special discount on your new furry cuddle buddy... https://www.warmies.com/UNITEDBYLYME15
