Anxiety & Chaos — The Antithesis of the Aspie Mind…

Posted on by delphinemusic in ASD, Asperger, chronic illness, disability, Fibromyalgia, Illness & Depression, Isolation, Mental Health, mobility problems, Ramblings

Anxiety and Chaos rules my mind. It feels like it's been long buried under mountains of agonising pain, sorrow, grief. Fibro-Fog, medication, and more and more Chaos and Anxiety. I can feel my mind still there, calling, struggling to be freed, to be heard... yet, there seems to be so little I can do about digging it back out.

The Past Collides With The Present…

  Today, I found an old (former?) friend on Facebook (...where else?!). I haven't seen her since she left for Australia with her family when we were 12 years old. I happened to be looking through old photos and wondered if she was on there. And she was. And I saw her as she was … Continue reading The Past Collides With The Present… →

Perhaps this is especially true if you're already struggling, and you just want that one … Continue reading All Pain, No Gain? →

The Pain Game

I am unable to focus. Unable to think. Unable to feel... except the pain. There is nothing but the pain. It's been  around 914 days since it started. About two and a half years. All that time where nothing else has mattered. I used to be "me"... but now there's nothing but the pain. My … Continue reading The Pain Game →

Going Solo

Pain is exhausting... and troubling. It's now my worst enemy, and today I am facing it alone. I have an appointment with a physiotherapist to discuss Hydrotherapy today. In two hours. My cab is now booked, my appointment is for 1pm. My friend was supposed to be here with me to help – I am … Continue reading Going Solo →

The Pain Masquerade

Posted on by delphinemusic in chronic illness, Illness & Depression, pain, Ramblings

I forgot to take my pills on time tonight... again. But this time they were really late. The agony was excruciating, and frankly made what I usually go through on a daily basis look like child's play. It was a waiting game to get any relief from taking the Pregabalin (4 hours late), and attempts to divert … Continue reading The Pain Masquerade →
