I am wondering if anyone has a similar problem? I will never believe I am truly ill. When my asthma plays up I tell myself it is all in my mind and I just need to pull myself together. I rarely have any time off work. I am always telling other people to look after themselves but don't feel I am ever as ill myself. At present I am suffering from concussion and am on a phased return to work over the next month. My doctor and osteopath keep telling me I need to take this seriously but I can't as I feel it is all in my head and I should just ignore things and push on. I am speaking to therapist about this but wondered if anyone else knew the feeling. I know it doesn't make sense but I can't stop it.
