โNot that long ago, about a year, that was me. Back then it was flying to a specialist. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back.โ
โWhen you first hear the word rare, it feels like a door slamming. You'll spend months explaining it to doctors and yourself. Some days you'll faint in the queue at the shop and feel like a spectacle. But you'll also find people who listen. You'll learn to pace yourself. You'll get a caseworker who helps with the bills. It won't be fixed, but it will be managed. And you'll still play guitar badly, and that's something.โ
โto whoever needs this: i was where you are in february. nobody at school had heard of it. today i cooked a proper dinner and enjoyed it. things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are two years ago. For me it was a diagnosis code that does not fit the forms. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Sending love.โ
