And I mean, it was a little Beautiful Mind style for those out there who haven't seen Beautiful Mind.
It's a movie.
And there are some manic elements to it, which I think I was, you know, delicately touching that as many of us were at the time.
Some people did sourdough cakes.
Some people were creating literary documentary on their health on their own white wall.
But for me, I just started doing what I do with a film and a subject and an issue.
And it's where are the echoes?
And to me, the echoes were all ticks on a timeline of all of the biggest diagnoses I had ever received in my life and what was happening in my life at the same time.
And what I saw ever since I was eight years old was shingles.
which was right after I was sexually molested at a friend's house, which I write about in the book, to when I was raped at 28 and now at 42.
And I just started looking at these echoes of what is happening through me and around me that is the echo with illness.
flare-up of illness, new diagnoses, new diagnosis, new symptom, new issue, repeat of an issue, a relapse.
It was everywhere.
And what I saw was when I was recovering or dealing with or suppressing a traumatic event in my body,
or when I was living in such a disempowered state that I lost myself, I was diagnosed with something new or a relapse every time.
And that was across 40 years.
The other piece that was really interesting was that around that was 42, but I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, which is my autoimmune condition.
And there are over 140 autoimmune diagnoses on record.
And I have a feeling that there are many individuals in your community who are diagnosed like me.
Yeah.
