Hi I am a 55 yo woman with a history of extensive childhood trauma (a PTSD diagnosis,) anxiety and depression, ADD, inability to lose weight and (a resulting eating disorder) am in need of a disc replacement in my cervical spine, but in spite of all of this, I had somehow managed to be reasonably high functioning (as an international lawyer) until I got a minor concussion about a year ago (March 2021) since then I have experienced debilitating fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and autonomic nervous system issues that nobody can figure out how to manage. The good news is that through a very intentional meditation practice I have developed better coping mechanisms and ways of dealing with my feelings and trauma triggers than I was able to do in 30 years of cognitive behavioral therapy. So in a strange way, it's been a gift. On the other hand, I only have a couple of hours of semi-funtionctional time a day. I have no caretaker ( no partner or children and the rest of my family is not local and the relationships are complicated) so I have barely been surviving. Although I am grateful to be alive, I want to move into recovery and figure out how to have some sort of meaningful life. Glad to have found this forum and curious to poke around.
