I have been diagnosed with essential tremor my hands are intermittently shaking. It's making me realise that this could lead to a number of possible issues for me in the future dementia or parkinson's disease or it could be nothing. I am seeing a neurologist about it. Strange thing no one in my family has had this issue before at all.

Was trapped in a narcissistic trauma bond for some time, now have amnesia and got many gray hairs, also a different human image but that already got a bit better. Hope that the withdrawal symptoms wont last for years. On an excessive neverending healing journey now, stopped smoking, becoming vegetarian, doing sports and and yoga and meditation and many other stuff all the time. Also reading everyday about healthiness in every respect, think i will become a holistic health coach one day.

good to see you back again, happy new year.
great to see that you're picking up healty things to recover and thinking of bringing that forth onto others. Sport and meditation definitly helped me out of my hole. Wholeheartily recommend those.
Another thing I picked up which might be of use to you is cold therapy/wim hoff method. Does wonders for the cardiovascular system and also helps to cope better with pain and stress.

Thanks, happy new year! Seems really good that wim hoff method, will start doing it!
Yeah man, the previous Department i was working for had a narcissistic tendency and a lot of gaslighting and you become a co-dependent of other people and people really pick on your insecurities.

Been meeting with the company's Human Values Manager for a couple of weeks now. I wanted to develop and improve my skills (leadership, management etc.) in order for them to match my (very high) ambitions. Feels so great to say stuff out loud, get them out of your head. A great side effect of this is that we're able to pinpoint some blind spots in my thinking, or wrong opinions I've had of myself, and also pinpoint the areas where I really think I need to improve, and know exactly why. Already very useful! Besides that, I'm positive that this will help me in avoiding burnout or large amounts of stress in general.

'fraid not. I do have some experience with benzo's but always managed to keep the dosis to an absolute minimum as they're highly addictive/ cause car crashed when people fall asleep at the wheel.

Also took one benzo when my psychosis started, because had just one at home. But am also scared of getting addicted of benzos. Have Quetiapin for the evening, its not bad. Had some panic attacks recently, think i was dissociating. What helped me when it really got serious with the panic attacks, was mindfulness. Did body scan for about 20 minutes. Then panic was over and also my pulse decreased a lot

oh yes, can defo relate, I think i've mentioned this before but Sam Harris, a neuroscientist and pop-philosopher/speaker that I follow has a great App for this, mainly focussing on Vipasna and Metta meditation.
Got me through the worst.
