Nearly 4 months post VM

Hi everyone.

So I'm nearly 4 months post VM and thought I was nearly back on track - I've got full vision back and I've finally shifted the fatigue, which is amazing. About 2 weeks ago, however, I seem to have hit some severe emotional issuesb which I've never experienced before. I've detached from everything in my life, including my partner, which has resulted in us splitting up very quickly. I seem to feel nothing and then all at once, normally most nights, I find myself crying for no apparent reason.

I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced something similar off the back of having VM or if people think this is related, as I've never experienced such severe issues before. I feel very lost and isolated, which is horrible after feeling as though I was nearly back to full health.

Hi LJSummer,

I had meningitis June 5 of this year. It seemed to affect every part of my being.

I started taking CBD tincture about 3 or 4 weeks ago, 4-6 drops a day when I wake up and it is helping immensely. I started taking it because I thought I was never going to get any better than what I was.

I can cope with difficult situations better, I have more energy and I am happier.

Maybe it would help bring you closer to the you you used to be.

Thank you for replying.

It's a horrible feeling, I'm aware of how I'm acting but can't seem to change it.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Xx

You're welcome.

Do you meditate or have any spiritual practices? It helps, too.

Awareness is the first step to change, so pat yourself on the back for at least having that.

Keep us posted.
