    This might be my favourite video of yours so far. It's not that you say anything that you haven't said in various videos, but the way you say it really connects for me. (And YES, I am an over thinker!) Thank you.

    -The first mistake: overthinking. The solution is to get present in the moment. Keep it simple. Breathe, look around, talk to people…
    -The second mistake: shiny object syndrome. This is where you go from thing to thing without sticking with decisions for long. Commitment and perseverance are needed.
    -The third mistake: taking the wrong advice. Only take advice from people who have gone through it and recovered themselves.

    I agree with the gist of the video, but not really with the way you talk about the nervous system's intentions for putting us through these symptoms. It's not baiting us or doing this to try and trick us. It's trying to protect us based on the previous experiences we've had and the coping mechanisms we've learned to use in life. So we don't have to fight it or look at it as a trap, instead we can look at it as our nervous system trying to protect us, but being maybe a little overprotective. Swatting away can be replaced with compassion that this way of stopping us being active to protect us was maybe once needed, but now we don't need it anymore and we can reassure ourselves that we are not in danger. Then we can slowly show the body that the stimuli we are exposing ourselves to are safe by reacting calmly and lovingly while doing things.
    This is what works for me, anyway. Not combative language and belittling my nervous system for soing what it is doing, scolding the symptoms for creeping up like non-obedient children. Instead what works is compassion and teaching it more helpful threat assesment and coping responses when exposed to stress. Encouragement, taking breaks and trying again while looking for positives in each step. It helps me to not fuel the fight/flight response, but trying to be in the calming and connected parasympathetic nervous state while recovering.
    I find this difference in approach really important and helpful on my journey.

    Thanks, this really resonates. Number 2 is my biggest issue, though it is more around commitment. I know *what* I need to do but I often start something and then get very easily knocked or upset when it doesn't seem to be working and I experience a huge flare up. I am trying to change my perspective on symptoms to address this, so I can just stick to one path and really commit.

      Thanks. Yes, for me Number 1 'Overthinking' is the issue. Tracking every little task I do each day. If symptoms flare up, overanalyzing what went wrong. Awareness is required, but there feels like a thin line between awareness and tracking and we wrongly jump to tracking.
      I am responding well to the symptoms with anxiety in control not perfectly but it's ok.

    Such a good video! Omg cfs recovery is going through a serious evolution and is just next level. I haven’t even finished watching the video but point number one is such a revelatory game changer. Particularly because I spend about 4 to 5 hours at night just laying there and not being able to go to sleep and I’m such an Overthinker.

    Got covid three months ago, long covid symptoms for last 6 weeks. Said to doctor "feels like my nervous system is amped up", tests show nothing so far, diagnosed long covid. Has been getting worse, was having dissociation over the weekend. Last four days have decided to be "relentlessly positive" and symptoms have retreated immensely. Randomly found your videos, resonated immediately, symptoms and personality type. Wondering if you have some advice / plans for people just this, to help them "nip it in the bud" before it goes too far.

    How do you tell if you have adrenal fatigue or CFS because I’ve been to the doctors I had blood test everything was good, cardiologist said everything was good. I did have a hip replacement surgery after that. My body was just very rundown. I felt very sluggishbut it’s been three months and I do feel better from that, but I noticed when I do a little activity all of a sudden I feel symptoms like heart palpitations, stiff neck tinnitus so I’m not sure if it’s either one.

    Sir do you think your problem can help me even though my neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine and histamine are low on a urine test! I have a lot of anxiety and insomnia and I overthink every day . And I’m exhausted all day at work. And then come home and still can’t sleep well. Sometimes I feel off balance and my body is sensitive to people and noise and light . It feels like my mind think everything is dangerously I feel stuck in fight or flight and I feel it in my body. It’s scary and I thrum loosing my mind. My body is not listening to my brain 🧠 can’t stay asleep and get up super tired. Any suggestions 🙏🏾

I can’t verbalize it… it’s probably just perception of my condition in general which I don’t even notice or I got used to it coz it’s been 7 years

    You said you csn recalibrate the nervous system ,that means also for cognitive and emotionally.when people physical resting but they do a lot of cognitive things why are they getting worse ,at least they Would improve their cognitive threshold ,right? Yes they are then longer in bed but overall their cognitive capacity have to rise because it is the same principle. So why then does overthinking makes people worse? At least they would improve cognitivly

    Can Tension headache be CFS ? I take medication and I can’t feel my laughter it’s like so blocked and numb in my brain. Is it tension or medication side effects? Bc the same meds helped me before 1 year ago for tension. 😢😢

    • @cfsrecovery
      @cfsrecovery  7 месяцев назад +2

      While tension headaches themselves are not a symptom of CFS, they can occur more frequently in individuals with CFS due to various factors associated with the condition. How long have you been experiencing this?

      @@cfsrecovery hello miguel. Thanks for the answer. It all started in 2022. My insomnia started in late 2021. And doctors gave me a lot of different medication ( antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzos) and my sleep worsened and all the crazy side effects I had from the withdrawal and while on them. This tension headache persisted and only went away last year in spring for 3 months with help of the Same medication I take now. But this year I also developed tinnitus and this strange blockage in my brain( I understand a joke and laugh but the laughter doesn’t pass through the brain). It’s probably from the on/ off medication that my brain is disregulated or my nervous system? Can emotional stress cause this tension and sensation? If I am nit on meds I have fibromyalgia typ symptoms in my head and shoulder area. And I also have brain fog and cognitive impairment.

    You cannot do nothing the whole day, your mind is thinking the whole time, you cannot shut down. Even if you are lying still im bed your mind thinks something, it is normal
    And what if you cannot ground yourself by looking around? Because you are lying in a dark room? And doing "brain" exercises the whole day is stress too right? You said you avoid thinking but doing "a lot of exercises". I try this too but it is again pushing you to get fast better and that again is stress too right? It is so wonderful *irony* being bedridden with light and Sound sensitivty, you can do NOTHING. I wish you could do a Video about getting out of that stage without crashing. And i do not mean the video 24/7 affraid to move i mean a step by step Video what explain to do if you are bedridden! That would be such a great thing for a lot of people here in that stage

    I'm finally getting some traction with how I deal with symptoms and emotions.
    ~ H O W E V E R
    Whenever my fatigue reaches a threshold of what I refer to as CRUSHING, I lose my way.
    Would intense elevated fatigue be considered a 'symptom' or an intensified 'condition'?
    That is to say, should I treat elevated fatigue in the same manner as I would tinnitus or a headache - or - should I respect the higher level of fatigue as a message from my body as needing additional rest?
    I'm so confused on this point - so any guidance here would be gratefully appreciated.

    • @cfsrecovery
      @cfsrecovery  7 месяцев назад +1

      Intense elevated fatigue is a defining symptom of CFS/ME. While its severity can fluctuate, making it seem more intense at times, it remains a symptom rather than a separate intensified condition. Proper management strategies can help mitigate its impact and improve quality of life. If you experience a significant worsening of fatigue or other symptoms, it's essential to discuss this with your healthcare provider to ensure appropriate management and support. Please check these links. I hope they help!
