Hi Mette

I have been working on trying to FEEL more stuff because i too have a body that is mostly a vehicle for my brain. I don't feel pain in the same way others seem too (apart from tooth ache). I don't feel hunger/thirst or if i need to go to the loo.

I'm finding it tough. On a recent flight, whereas before I would have disassociated/masked just got through the whole thing, i found myself overwhelmed by the lights and noise. Not sure where to go with this now. It is tempting to try and go back to not feeling but your bit about being distant from pain also means being distant from physical pleasure, suggests I should keep going. thanks for this. A🙏💚

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
