'Did my growing anxiety induce the health issues or did the health issues ignite a dormant flame of fear until it erupted into a wildfire? The answer is yes to both.'
I absolutely resonate with what you're so profoundly speaking.
I love this post and the way you walk the reader through your experience. I have also found the enneagram to be of great use - not in defining me but in helping me understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Several of my favorite people (yourself included) are sixes. They bring great stability to our world and my life.

I love the poems you shared at the end, both yours and Mary Olivers. Beautiful! And how well I relate to the fear that chronic illnesses bring. ❤️
