What do for me when RSD has taken over.
Tell me you are ok and that we are ok. That this moment won’t change what we are to each other.
Sit near me, or beside me, put your hand where I can hold it if I need to.
Do not try to use reason or logic

to walk me out of it, RSD doesn’t work that way.
If I tell you what’s going on, it’s because I needed to exorcise it from my brain, it does not need comment, this is not a time for solutions.
Blankets, fluids and safefoods are ok. Do not push. Placing them in the vicinity is

best, hunger is fleeting.
Just be.
With me.
I am in a dark place and knowing you are there and ok is very stabilizing. My brain is telling me thousand lies a minute.
Let the tears flow, let my body shake and twitch.
If you want to hold me, ask. Don’t just do it, please, I

will probably collapse against you but not always.
This isn’t a problem to be fixed as much as storm to be endured.
RSD is part of my reality. Therapy and meds only go so far. Understanding would mean the world to me. Thought I would put this out there, in case it helps.
