#somatoform

Pernah nggak kamu merasakan gejala fisik seperti nyeri atau lelah yang terus-menerus, tapi setelah cek ke dokter, nggak ditemukan masalah medis yang jelas? Bisa jadi itu adalah gangguan somatoform. Kondisi ini menunjukkan betapa kuatnya koneksi antara pikiran dan tubuh kita. Yuk, kita bahas lebih dalam! Apa Itu Gangguan Somatoform? Gangguan somatoform adalah kondisi psikologis di mana seseorang…

So, my last post I said why I want to do this, now I am going to tell you a little about me.

I first got sick in 2010 and have had five diagnosis since than. Almost three years ago they finally gave me the diagnosis of somatoform conversion disorder. A very long complected way to say that my brain has a problem translating impute which causes me to have neurological type symptoms. It’s a long list of problems that no one can really do anything about. 

Typically this disorder is caused by a traumatic event and can be treated by cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dealing with the underlining trauma. In my case there is no trauma and thus no way to treat it. Fortunately, and unfortunately I was in the military when I got sick. 

Fortunately, God is good to me and provided me with a great family to help and support me through my illness. I know that sometimes I have not been as appreciative as I should be.

Occasionally I’ll talk about them and about the animals I have living with me, five cats, and three dogs, in case you where curious. 

I am hoping that others with somatoform disorder or a conversion disorder will find this blog, because it would be nice to know that I’m not alone in this and to connect with others like me. I’m not sure how much to tell about myself, don’t want to say anything that anyone who doesn’t already know who I am could use to find out who I am, but I do want to make a connection with others so this will be a see as we go. 

For now, I’ll end this. Until next time! 

Respctfully,
