Holding You Back

[Saknika]

Do you have anything holding you back from the things you want to do in life? Fears, disabilities, or traumas?

While I'm not too fearful (I push my comfort levels a lot), my problem is more my stomach condition. I have a minor form of Fibromyalgia known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS for short. And it's triggered by three things: food, strong emotions, and weather. Which makes traveling almost impossible for me, like I wanna do, along with living life on some days. To top it off I have clinical depression, which can trigger the IBS, which makes the depression worse... I think you get the idea. Thankfully, diet and exercise do help it a lot. I have meds for the depression should I need them, but to take meds to help control (at about a 75% success rate) the IBS, I'd die young because it'd kill my liver. So no meds for that.

In the end though, it probably makes me stronger. But damn does it get in the way.

Besides "Attention Deficit without Hyperactivity Disorder" I don't have much holding me back.

I do lack a structured schedule and probably have an addiction to the computer. Which is probably attributed to my geological environment. As I enjoy photographing landscapes and there's nothing really around except for city I don't get out much. Unless the sky is popping with colour and/or clouds then I'll take the time to drive 30minutes for a few photographs

Money. I'm not fond of the concept.

And it's something you need in order to get certain pieces of equipment that are essential to what you want to do, right?

I have OCD and my family thinks I have ADD, but I'm more concerned about what people would say or do about my photography. One of my inspirations is Sally Mann, and I want to be able to work freely in nudity, but it can be controversial, if that's the right term.
