HI everyone,
Over the years as my fibro has got worse to the point i now struggle with walking more than a few minutes and doing house chores is a major task that i can only achieve in short bursts.....
I notice i have gradually become more and more nervous about things that would never have bothered me all related to how the craziness of this illness has affected me.
So if i am out walking and a dog is off its lead or gets too close i feel very anxious its going to jump up in case it hurts me or i twist awkwardly or step back without thinking and topple and i don't like being out alone as if i needed the restroom ( we say toilet in Uk) the doors maybe too heavy and i would really hurt myself and ruin the day.
I know lots of you have fibro more mildly and opening heavy shop doors or a dog wacking you with its tail wouldn't hurt you but for me it would feel like an injury and could result in long term pain.
Any one else find they are in Self Protection mode over a whole range of things?
Hope this post doesnt sound silly!
