http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2013/04/living-with-pots-back-to-start.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Saturday, 27 April 2013. Living with POTS: Back to the start. I've realised recently just how unknown POTS is. Unless you know someone with it, you probably have no idea what it is and even when you know.you don't really know. As such.I thought I'd do a couple of posts about what is is, where you can find out more info, how it affects me day to day and the like. So first off.symptoms and diagnosis. I've also had an autoi...

Steady My Heart.: Breaking the Silence: EDAW 2012
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2012/02/breaking-silence-edaw-2012.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Monday, 20 February 2012. Breaking the Silence: EDAW 2012. This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week and the theme for 2012? This may not be an easy read and believe me, it's not easy to write! This is fairly jumbled and there is so much more I could say but after years of silence I think this is enough! But to finish; as much as I miss being slim. And dislike my current overweight. 20 February 2012 at 11:46. Laura Sav...

Steady My Heart.: June 2015
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Tuesday, 16 June 2015. The End of the Beginning. First placement ended a couple of weeks back. Along with it came two assignment deadlines and an exam coupled with a giant lump of pure exhaustion and a vomiting bug. Looking back over my first placement, there were some absolutely fantastic memories - I never thought I would love stroke quite as much as I did, but the highlight definitely came on my final shift. So, Ive m...

And the past month has revealed an answer to that. I'm actually just well enough to hide what's going on beneath the surface. Secondly, I've been referred for DBT which is a particular form of therapy that will help me to address the practical side of regulating my emotions and tolerating distress where I currently just become overwhelmed...

Steady My Heart.: August 2015
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Friday, 14 August 2015. I look back on certain photos from my time as a toddler and long to have that freedom once more. To lack inhibitions and fear and the "what if's" that so often overwhelm every day life seems to be a really joyful time. But so often I find it hard to trust in God and allow that to alleviate my fears and anxieties. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Breaking the Silence: EDAW 2012.

Steady My Heart.: September 2016
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Sunday, 11 September 2016. Your story's far from over.your journey's just begun.". This song has been my anthem in the past month. I am facing a lot of pain right now and trying to envision a way forward and a life beyond it. A lot of the time I can't see a way forward and ultimately, I have had to admit that I am desperately vulnerable right now. But in the midst of this desperation? Just let that word wash over you.

Steady My Heart.: What's in a name?
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2016/05/whats-in-name.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Monday, 16 May 2016. What's in a name? My name is Laura. It's the name I was given 24 years ago when I was born. But recently, through studying Ruth I've been prompted to think about all the other things I have "named" myself and defined myself with over the years. Fat A burden. Ugly. A failure. Unworthy. Anxious. Depressed. And this list too could go on. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Laura Saved by grace. Livi...

Steady My Heart.: February 2016
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Sunday, 7 February 2016. I sit at the back of church. I am broken and I am hurting but I cannot be vulnerable again. I'm tired of the same old vulnerabilty, the same old tears, the same old reassurances that "it won't always be like this"."it's part of His plan". Whose plan? How do I trust in a plan when I feel like I'm forgotten and dying? My faith is the thing that I hold so tight to.or did. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Steady My Heart.: "...and she laughs without fear of her future"
http://www.steady-my-heart.com/2015/12/and-she-laughs-without-fear-of-her.html
Blogging about faith, nursing, mental health and living with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos. Saturday, 5 December 2015. And she laughs without fear of her future". Back in October, I was helping out with Adventurers (aka children's church). I've been seriously missing my Brighton babies and this was the first time I'd got to spend with young children since moving. The topic for the morning? Does God know what will happen in my future? No, we don't need to worry about bad stuff because God is always with us, is a...
