  • Fresh out of Uni, I thought I’d be a good boy and work harder for my employer at a desk job. After about six months of high stress and little sleep or rest, I’d poisoned my brain with cortisol and needed about 2 years of rehab to be able to read a page of text again.

    My cortisol system is still out of whack, probably permanently, sometimes not activating when it should - meaning I can’t start tasks or focus or crunch, and activating randomly at other times giving me generalised anxiety for a couple of days at varying intensity.

    I’m lucky though, another friend with the same condition lost their ability to walk for a couple of years.
