Thinking a lot about the connections between neurodivergence, complex trauma, chronic pain, and digestive troubles, as observed in my own body. Having your nervous system on red alert for years and years will really fuck you up.

I don't know what science says but there's a lot of anecdotal evidence

Currently having to realize all of this about my own body. It’s tough to come to the realization it’s all connected.

Because I was kind of an odd kid (ADS), I think I was often not accepted, threatened, and not included. This was traumatic.

Yes I was not really on a true road to healing until I completed a year of somatic therapy - you can feel the difference inside

I'm ready to upload my consciousness into a cyborg warrior to be unleashed upon the world; this body has gone to shit.

Seconding therapy, somatic therapy & (for me) deep tissue massage has changed my life. Physical pain I’ve been carrying for years is suddenly…gone? I keep expecting everything to tighten back up. Hope you can find some healing 🤞

Oh yeah, I have a great team of bodyworkers supporting me. Recently added acupuncture to the menu, really digging it. I've come so far over the last several years.

Yep. Long term stress lowers Serotonin levels. Serotonin is responsible for, among other things, vascular health & digestion. So cue migraines & digestive issues, which, of course cause more stress. Rinse and repeat.

I can only eat solid food if I take digestive enzymes with it. I eat a restricted diet to avoid migraines. I take 5-HTP every night to help repair the vascular & digestive tract damage, but it's slow going.
