I am part of a wider problem of people not talking about their money. In fact, people would rather talk about their sex lives than their money. I also know that, secrets deny other people the benefit of our experience. Leaving us 'bearing the agony of an untold story.' So to be part of a positive change, I will use this blog to describe my relationship with money.

I am part of the problem of forgetting experiences of anxiety. As if remembering anxiety made it more likely to be repeated. In fact, what cannot be remembered is more likely to be repeated (Freud, 2006.) So in this blog I will remember some of my struggles with anxiety. Creating, additional, helpful memories of my anxious experiences.

I am part of the lack of understanding about myalgic encephalitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS.) I cannot offer concrete recommendations to people suffering with ME/CFS. I don't fully understand why I get ill or why I have recovered four times. I can imagine my experience is typical or has no commonality with anyone else, but both seem mistaken. So this account is personal and emotional. My personal experience of ME/CFS is of being one of the lucky ones.
