I feel the necessity to write something in this thing now that i've made a real entry.

The weird thing about illness is how it changes your perspective and motivation. One of the negative perspectives focuses on the limitations caused by illness, however at the same time it can be extremely liberating. The whole "one door closes, a window opens".

This illness i have is controlled by negative emotions, however i can't help but wonder how much the symptoms are exaserbated by strong negative emotions. For example, if you feel like shit and dwell on the fact you feel like shit are the symptoms worse than if you were to distract yourself from the physical effects of the symptoms. I have no idea.

There is proof that emotions changes brain chemistry which in turn alters the body's physiology, but how do you balance that information against the severity of symptoms?

*Shrugs* I'm going to get back to my crotchet.
