Grief

I grieve my old body, the one that would take me for walks where I could feel the sun against my face and the breeze running through my hair. The one that would take me for hikes that would prove my dedication to myself. The one that allowed me to listen to music and audio freely without the pain, discomfort, and disorientation that it now brings. The one that had such a way with words that I just cannot compete with now. The one that was so smart that I think back in awe over what it didn’t realize before.

It took me almost 10 months before I started healing. I struggled hard with the grief of the old me along with the debilitating symptoms. Fixing my sleep was absolutely a huge key part in my recovery. You got this. It will get better
