Thank you for this post - while my issues are not medical your message about a nervous system overdoing it and the feeling of not being safe hits home. Remarkably so. Best wishes for a gracious return to health.
Mary, I am so glad that landed where it needed to. It's so true right? Most of what we are reacting to in this human experience is feeling either unsafe or a lack of belonging. I am sending your nervous system so much care. And thank you so much for your support.
Sending so much love to you. You have given us all so much through your wonderful writing and your wisdom. Now it is our turn to send love back to you.
Tanmeet, this nearly brought me to tears. I’m envisioning you held inside the grace you ask for. Thank you for showing up in the messy middle and being so real.
Oh, dear, lovely human being! I send you much love and support to deal with your fear which is normal. I'm so sorry you have new and scary challenges. We are all here for you. Calm your mind with meditation if that is your practice. As we know, our body's cells respond to our fears. Remember, you have a lot of loving supporters. Sending love to you and all your family. Anne
A beautiful vulnerable message and reminder. Thank you for this gift. You have my grace, compassion, faith, empathy and deep understanding. Sending love and light to surround you ✨
May you be surrounded by the creators golden healing light. May you find safety and peace. May your doctors and nurses have wisdom, and may your family and friends show up to be by your side. May you have a good rest, and feel your supporters encouragement, and support. ❤️
Dear Tanmeet, first, I'm so sorry you are on the patient side right now, and hoping for a smooth recovery and no more complications. Thank you for the generous gift of sharing with us and your wise reflection about our nervous systems, such a keen and helpful reminder. You also captured so well that feeling of being unlucky, that the 1% might as well be a flip of the coin, alongside the uncertainty of being a singular human among the clumped-together stats of so many. Sending you care and well wishes for the next steps and beyond. ❤️
Hang in there, you are a beautiful human being. You can meet this challenge too.
I send you love and support and healing energy and grace.
I’ve been challenged by a recent diagnosis and pain; I’m choosing to practice gratitude for these (seemingly negative and worrisome) developments because they are teaching me to give myself grace (something I’m not accustomed to doing), listen, really listen to my body, and pay attention to the signals it is sending, so that I can take steps to help myself move forward.
Your work is so meaningful/ I learn a lot from your shares. Even if you need to take a break from your posts I will remain a big fan,
Sending you grace and prayers. Take all the time you need to regenerate and feel renewed.
That’s what I am doing. On the 8th, I received devastating news. Not a life changing diagnosis, but life changing medical news nonetheless. The program that I have depended on for management of my chronic conditions is no longer an option for me. Not the same as what you’re going through, but still scary nonetheless. And I am a person who struggles with PTSD and anxiety and am prone to hypervigilance. I keep alternating between scanning for the next threat, wanting to burst into tears and rail about how unfair it all is and just wanting to hide at home where I feel safe with the phones off so no one can bother me.
Saoirse, thank you so much for sharing this with us. What a challenging time you are in as well. It sounds very unsettling and scary for sure. And it's reasonable that your nervous system would be so unsettled. I hope you can be gentle with yourself and all the ways your nervous system is responding. Sending you so much hope for ease to come your way and for the uncertainty to feel less threatening. Please keep connecting with us here when you are able. Sending that love right back to you.
I hope you can take the wise advice you have given all of us - meditate, rest, don’t be too hard on yourself self….those come to mind right away. You have more on your plate than anyone should have to deal with and it sucks. I can’t sugar coat it, it really sucks. But hope you feel all the good wishes, love and care coming at you right now!
Thank you so much Jeannie, definitely taking my own medicine right now. On the daily. There is no sugar coating it, you are right. I feel your love and care. Thank you!
Sending you light and hope for your sense of safety and grace. 💗🙏
Patti, so very appreciated. 🙏🏽

Oh Deb, this is such a generous message and moves me deeply. Truly.

Thank you my friend. It has been so long since we connected but I am glad we are connected here. And yes it is so very messy right now!
I’m grateful to know you, Tanmeet! I hope we can connect more in the future. Thinking of you.
Kara I wish for the same. 💕
Get well soon! I hope things will be looking up very soon!
Me too Fran! Thank you.

Bless you. This is a long road, and you have peeps you don't even know who will be with you in heart and mind every step of the way.
I think about that so often Kristin, thank you for the reminder. ❤️
