Tag: Post traumatic stress

More than surgery: When chronic illness becomes trauma

Have you ever wondered why some people never develop #IBD even when it’s in their family? 🧬✨ 📣 I need help from users of #MenstrualCups 🙏🏻 My cousin suggested a taxi to an area in #Reykjavik with waterfalls and woods for the 14th. Surprisingly, everyone was up for it, despite the fact we were all completely exhausted 😂 I think it being our last day played part in us managing to rally! Me in Iceland: I got a text earlier saying: On Jan 13th, we had a slow start to the day and then went on a whale watching boat trip. It was invigoratingly cold for an hour, but then it was just bloody freezing 🥶 I glimpsed a whale numerous times, though 🥰 Jan 12th... The #NorthernLights graced us with their presence, AGAIN 🥰 In total awe 😍 Jan 12th was #Reykjavik park and zoo. I fell in love with a sheep 😍 Jan 11th reel 😍 #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #Iceland #Reykjavik Jan 11th finished with more #NorthernLights 🌌 And finally, on our #GoldenCircle tour, 🪨 #Þingvellir National Park to see a big crack in the earth - North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which drift apart by 2cm every year! Continuing on Jan 11th and our #goldencircle tour.
