Hullo brain buddies

Following extreme feelings of my head being fragile and vulnerable to any jolting or movement for months, even from walking around, I had a go at swimming recently.

I was nervous as I felt that not only the movement from bobbing around but also the increased blood flow from exercise might cause symptoms. However I gave it a go tentatively.

I found that not only could I swim fine, but that my feelings of fragility and vulnerability to jolting reduced in everyday life too. I can now walk around without having to wear my most cushioned pair of running shoes, and feel ok.

I don't know whether this was because some healing had taken place, but my anxiety had been too much to test it out?
Or whether the bobbing around from swimming somehow taught my brain that a bit of movement was ok, and wouldn't cause further injury?

Either way it was beneficial, and others may want to try it. Be careful though, start slowly and be prepared to stop if it makes things worse.

All the best.
