How are you?

Well…

To be completely honest. I don’t know how I got out of bed this morning. My nausea is a shocker today. Sometimes there were tears at one point. It all feels totally overwhelming. I am struggling. I feel really unsafe in this environment. I am finding it quite difficult to concentrate on talking and remaining upright at the same time. Am experiencing hearing issues. My shunt is playing up horribly. It is unsettling being in loud environments or wide open spaces. Bright lights are uncomfortable. Continence issues. Obstacles on the floor are a constant danger so I find it difficult to manoeuvre around new places when I don’t know the layout.

But what generally comes out…

I’m good thank you, how are you? 

It’s a tricky one! Should we be honest and say how we feel? There are so many arguments for yes and for no. I’m intrigued to hear what you guys think?

Ps I think I’m in the no camp. To be completely honest (and potentially slightly pessimistic) things could always get a lot worse so why let’s not save our thunder for that day.

How are you?
