As a child I remember a series of commercials on television about Schizophrenia. They were usually set with a young person asking if their mate could go on a family outing and the Parent being unsure until they realised that they were on their medication and were as normal as anyone else. These Ads were done to take away some of the stigma associated with mental health issues. The beauty of these commercials is that they worked. Slowly attitudes changed.
I remember when I was first diagnosed with procrastinators disease . I had been offered a job as an Assistant manager at B.P and was quite successfully running my own business. As well as this, I was doing youth work with a local church and other volunteer work. I had been hit from behind in a car accident and ruptured a disk and ended up with permanent nerve damage. I was one of the least driven people I knew and when the opportunity came to give up everything I could hardly motivate myself to turn it down I was so full of procrastination..........
Besides my work, accident and, injuries, the procrastination part is obviously rubbish. However that is exactly what Some people believe.
I want to try and Damophrase (kind of like paraphrase) how we create chronic pain.
YES pain is produced in the brain and sent to the body part via the spinal cord.
NO we are not imagining it.
