How do you deal with the "aftermath" of acute illness? That liminal space.
I had my first encounter with fnd 4 years ago which led me to use a wheelchair and then a cane. Then 3 years ago, with much effort i slowly got better and didn't need mobility aids and was mostly in remission.
I have noticed that in these last few years if i overextend myself or don't live a life where i pace myself i get fnd symptoms and have had to quit jobs because of this. I am know freelancing which helps a lot.
I don't see many people talking about this time.
When you have accepted that you cannot have the rythym that you had before, when you are mostly ok if you take care of yourself. Is there a term for it? How do explain that you need to pace yourself with new connections/people that didn't know you when you were visibly sick? Would really like to know.
Have a great day everybody.
