Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
What Is the Difference Between Social Anxiety and Introversion?
Many people confuse social anxiety with introversion. You might notice a person standing in the corner during a party, or eating alone, and think whether they are introverted by nature or suffering from social anxiety.

The Art of Recovering Your Spirit in Levelling Up Your Life
Being curious, and maybe even a little unsure or sceptical as to what recovering the spirit (also known as the soul) is all about is absolutely understandable and healthy right now. For others, this idea can be triggering, as it is easier to suppress our unpleasant feelings, emotions and traumas - than it is to deal with them by feeling the pain in order to begin to transmute them. It takes some courage, bravery, and surrendering to what is in order to soften and to heal any intangible wound/s that no longer serve us.

“The Day My Heart Finally Spoke — and I Listened”
It started as just another Monday — emails piling up, deadlines closing in, and my coffee cup already empty before sunrise. I was twenty-eight, ambitious, and proud of how much pressure I could handle. Late nights, skipped meals, and too much caffeine were my trophies of productivity. I thought I was strong. I thought exhaustion was proof of success. But that was the day my body decided to teach me a lesson I would never forget.

SOLILOQUY (excerpt)
LAYING THERE ON HIS BACK STIFF AND UNMOVING no one would have known that he was expected to get up again. No one except the people who randomly visited his bedside. Bright lights overhead were turned on and off as though Jaylon would need to see anything. His eyes were taped over with gauze and surgical tape. A tube ran into his nostrils and one down his throat. Wire probes attached to his forehead and seemed to extend from every extremity and oriface except his ears. A woman in white edged toward him from down the hall, tablet in hand, talking under her breath to a man walking at her side, "He can be sent to," she glanced toward the ceiling to read metal placards with letters and numbers on them, "...he'll go to the North Wing, Level five... room 523. There should be a nurse ready to assist with transferring him to his permanent bed and finishing paperwork." The man next to her, a tall thin asian with clearcut features and dark tanned skin nodded briefly before speaking, "I will let the family know that he's a lucky man. We have pumped his stomache and are administering IV fluid to rebuild his body fluids to wash the drugs he's taken out of his system. If they'd waited minutes later, he'd be on the lower level right now, at the morgue. We could not have helped him. Now it's just a waiting game to have him want to come back this way fromthat heavy trip he's taken," Two male nurses appeared fromthe opposite end of the corridor, grasped the end of the gurney, raised the guardrails at each side and pulled him out into the long hall toward the elevators. The woman in white returned to the wide counterspace at the center of another corridor to pick up another file and clipboard. The handsome asian followed the other medical staff toward the elevator to escort Jaylon to his temporary home away from home.
