Stay grounded not just to your senses, but stay grounded in childhood. Many with PANS feel like their adolescent years were stolen from them due to this illness. It is definitely easy to be weighed down by treatments and days at home. But if you can remember what they loved doing as a kid. Even if it’s like going through stories or old photos. This helps reorient them to who they are, their identity. Dream of future dreams together. Stay grounded in childhood and don’t let this time slip away. Laugh, play when you can, rest. Eat ice cream. Call friends. The illness is not their identity 🤍
