\u201cYou need to get yourself together,\u201d my professor warned, staring at me with utmost concern.\u00a0\u201cYou have to do better than this if you want a career.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The words stung and burned into the darkest recesses of my mind, not because I was taken aback, but because I knew on some level they were true.\u00a0They were the doubts that nearly kept me from applying to grad school in the first place and the soundtrack to every moment when I\u2019ve wondered if I should even be in this field.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

MAYBE I\u2019D MADE A HUGE MISTAKE AFTER ALL.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When people ask how I\u2019m doing lately, I have no idea what to say.\u00a0On the one hand, I\u2019m successfully living on my own again, and my PANS<\/a> symptoms are 95% better.\u00a0On the other, I\u2019m easily the least effective graduate student in my group.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I feel like I\u2019m the runt of the litter, when my professors thought they were hiring a pure-bred show dog.<\/b>\u00a0My undergraduate mentors apparently wrote glowing recommendation letters, but now that I\u2019m here, I\u2019m barely meeting these new professors\u2019 demands.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After that conversation with my professor, I was utterly deflated.\u00a0I\u2019d been on the verge of a breakthrough, excited to find where it would lead, but now\u00a0I wanted nothing to do with my work.\u00a0<\/b>I went home and cried, longing for the days at my old school when my professors understood me so well and always gave me the encouragement I needed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I tried taking a walk around campus, I tried calling my parents to vent, and I even tried going out with a friend that night.\u00a0But nothing could lift the storm cloud that was now enveloping me.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That familiar depression\u2014the monster I\u2019ve fought for over half my life\u2014had suddenly crept back in to eat me alive.\u00a0This was always how it began.\u00a0I\u2019d been on such a long streak without a full-blown episode, but here it was to taunt me all over again\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t leave my room the next day.\u00a0I spent the following day alternating between crying and scrolling through Twitter (but not tweeting anything because I was too exhausted to think of anything to say).\u00a0I eventually went to the lab to attempt some work, but just looking at it brought on a panic attack, so I gave up.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just say that I felt utterly pathetic and unsure of why in the world I ever imagined I was cut out for grad school.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with having PANS is that every time I have a bad mood or get extra anxious, I worry that I\u2019m relapsing.\u00a0The disease attacks the brain, so the symptoms are psychiatric and neurological ones, like depression, anxiety, OCD, involuntary movements, and too many others to name.\u00a0It can be easy to mistake it for \u201cgarden-variety\u201d mental illness, especially in the early stages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And for me, most of my PANS flares start with sudden, severe depression, similar to what I experienced last weekend.\u00a0I\u2019d also been getting other symptoms in the days leading up, like more difficulty sleeping and even some tics, which often precede my flares too.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Was this going to be like every school year in my undergraduate career, cursed with a major relapse at some point?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

BUT THEN CAME SUNDAY.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As difficult as it was to make myself do anything, since I was being far more unproductive than usual, I forced myself to get into the car and leave town for an afternoon.\u00a0I had so much work hanging over my head, but I needed to get away from it all just for a bit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And you know what happened?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The darkness lifted.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I felt like myself again by the time I returned to campus.\u00a0I had a renewed fire in me to prove everyone wrong\u2014to prove that I really can do a strong thesis and have a solid career.\u00a0So I went home and got back to work.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the fear that I\u2019ll never be good enough still stings, I\u2019ve realized that something incredible happened because of that meeting with my professor: I had a somewhat \u201cnormal\u201d response to a painful situation\u2014the depression I experienced wasn\u2019t from my brain being inflamed like it is in a true PANS episode.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

IT TURNS OUT RECOVERY IS COMPLICATED.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many people think that recovery from PANS means a person has no mental health issues anymore, nor anything that could remotely be mistaken as a symptom.\u00a0Perhaps there are cases like that, particularly if they were caught early and treated promptly, but I think this is too idealistic an expectation for a lot of us who went years without care.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Even if my depression and anxiety were initially caused by an autoimmune attack (PANS) years ago, it seems to me that because the disease taught my brain those maladaptive patterns for so many years, it still takes less of an emotional trigger to send me back into them now\u2014but now my problem has become psychological rather than autoimmune.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not surprising at all that I fell so hard and so fast into depression after what happened the other week\u2014but the fact that a day out rather than more antibiotics or steroids broke through the darkness proves it had nothing to do with my disease this time.\u00a0I\u2019m just a struggling grad student now, and no amount of Prednisone can fix that.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, a year since I re-started treatment following a catastrophic PANS relapse that left me as a shell of my former self, I dare say that\u00a0for all practical purposes, I\u2019m better\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But \u201cbetter\u201d is a tricky concept to define when you\u2019re talking about a condition that attacks the brain, changes your personality, and forces you to relearn every aspect of normalcy.\u00a0Better doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t have any kind of problems.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The reality is that I\u2019ve just spent an entire year living at home and focusing on nothing but healing my brain\u2014and for all I know, it\u2019s still healing since the ability to stay on task and manage time can be one of the last things to improve.\u00a0Either way though, it\u2019s no surprise that being on my own and starting full-time grad school all of a sudden has been so jarring.\u00a0No wonder I\u2019m having a hard time, since\u00a0I\u2019m coming from a vastly different world than all of my healthy peers fresh out of undergrad.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re going back to\u00a0school after a serious illness<\/a>, you have to be patient with yourself and give yourself credit for showing up\u2014even when others say you\u2019re not doing a good job.\u00a0Don\u2019t listen to them\u2014you\u2019re doing a fantastic job living the best life you can, given the circumstances.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me, you might be ready to go full-speed and leave the sick days behind, but it takes time to relearn your limits and adjust to a new life.\u00a0I\u2019m learning that no matter what anyone says, I have to be patient and kind to myself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to say that things are starting to improve since that conversation with my professor, and I\u2019m beginning to find my footing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m not the most efficient worker, and perhaps by those standards, I\u2019m still a runt. But you know what?\u00a0 Sometimes the runts grow up to become the best dogs\u00a0because<\/i>\u00a0of their differences.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So these days, I\u2019m standing tall, and I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019m doing\u2026\u00a0\u00a0I hope others will soon be too.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
