Thanks for checking in on me, I'm up and down, still struggling but trying hard to stay as positive as possible, reading full catastrophe living and trying to commit mindfulness meditation, never thought I'd say that! How are you getting on? Are you coping ok?

Sorry to hear you are struggling :-( How is work? Manageable?
What is full catastrophe living? Please do keep your hopes up! I am struggling too. My tinnitus spiked recently and I don't know why. This is damn hard. Longing for the life I had. So much anxiety. SIGH!
I honestly relate to so much of the thoughts you post, it's awful. Just hanging in with work taking it one day at a time but can't live my life like this. Like you, I lament my former life and how I could go back to that day and not have the MRI scan. How did you get on with going back to work?
Full catastrophe living is the kind of bible of the founder of mindfulness, it's worth a read you know as even if you don't want to try it, it has some good anecdotes about folk who've been to his clinic finding a way forward in life with things like chronic pain
Work is weird because sometimes I feel it helps, sometimes like it makes me worse. I honestly have no idea
Still can't believe an MRI did that to you. It MUST become better
