I have been sick for a long time with "nothing wrong with me." I have ruled out and treated various conditions: yet I am still "sick."

I'm ready to eschew medical guesswork (and malpractice 😬) after being treated with a medication that I feel has injured me. Whether it's real nerve damage (to be determined) or a form of anxiety being held from the abhorrent treatment, my pain, illness, and obsession with my bodily symotoms has only increased. I am filled with a constant dread and the "certainty that I am dying," which believe it or not is a technical medical symptom.

At this point, I really believe that my "chi" is hurt, or broken, or blocked. I think it has much to do with being hyper aware of my body due to autism. There is a term for it, I cannot recall it just now.

There is simply nothing else to treat medically.

(Likewise in my home I believe poor chi flow is contributing to my illness.)

I have had great experiences with short sessions of Qigong in the past, but the distractions of life have curtailed any long-term practice. The same with Feng Shui: I practiced when I was younger and it brought me a degree of comfort I haven't achieved in my home in probably the last 20 years.

So! I am interested in other people's experience of using Qigong for illness, especially vague indeterminate illness, obsessive behaviors, and hyper awareness.

Has anyone had hypersensitivity sexually after beginning to practice zhan zhuang?

I started practicing zhan zhuang regularly about 6 months ago and ever since have gotten 'turned-on' with minimal stimulation... and in situations that weren't sexual and where I didn't want to feel this way.

For example, last week I got a massage here in Cambodia and it was a normal massage, but when the lady was massaging the backs of my thighs, the hamstring area, I was feeling so much sexual energy that I was thinking I might ejaculate, and was worried about it (but didn't have an erection). All this time I was practising reverse kegels and deep breathing along with box breathing to keep this from happening. There was also a time about 2.5 months ago where I did ejaculate during a massage. It was similar and happened when the lady was massaging the hamstring area, specifically when she applied and held pressure at this one point on my left lower hamstring and I felt a jolt of pressure and energy that was so intense it made me ejaculate... again without any erection. This was incredibly embarrassing at first and I had to ask the lady to leave me alone - that I needed a 5 min break from the massage.

This is all without sexual stimulation. Since I was lying on my stomach the top side of my penis was getting stimulated a tiny bit because as the lady would apply pressure my body would move and the top part of my penis was laying against the massage bed. But this was extremely extremely minimal... yet definitely felt like a lot to me. It's been about 2.5 weeks since I've ejaculated, so at the time of my experience from last week I had ejaculated just 1 week prior. So it's not like I'm just waiting to explode.

I've never had any experiences like this prior.

Any thoughts/help?

Hi! I'm currently recovering from a pretty severe burnout and my energy levels are very low.

One of the things I want to work on is reconnecting with my body. I feel quite disconnected from it and tend to focus mostly on symptoms rather than actually feeling my body.

I'd love to try Qigong, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different styles, teachers and videos.

I'm looking for something very gentle and beginner-friendly that I could do for maybe 5-15 minutes, possibly a few times a day, even on very low-energy days.

Any specific YouTube videos, teachers or simple Qigong routines you'd recommend for this?

My main goal is less about exercise or fitness and more about slowly reclaiming a sense of connection with my body.
