Kelli is still suffering with her vertigo, it’s maddening, but it’s putting her back mentally.
She was just starting to sleep better, and this had to happen, it’s like she’s cursed.
We repeated the Epley manoeuvre on her left side as she wasn’t convinced it worked the last time. Once completed, she is very conscious about it, and just wants to sit motionless for the rest of the day. With nothing else to do she then thinks about every twinge she has, thinking that it could be life threatening. She needs constant re-assurances that it’s not really the case.
If I worried about every ache and pain I had every day I would be out in the garage building a coffin.
There is definitely a difference between British and American’s mental health, it is so inbreed over here.
In America almost everyone I have met has some issue or other. Anxiety is everywhere, once you have it, it breeds and spreads to all young people, and starts them down the never ending wormhole.
The American dream is still thought of as something that is attainable by everyone, but that is not true. For a person to survive on their own they have to take two, or three low paid jobs just to pay their bills. Coupled with that the healthcare worries, its understandable that these pressures mount up, and manifest themselves as mental health problems.
Worries of the parents, pass down to their children, it heredity.
