Thanks 🙏. It was (and is) very hard to find the courage, but after reading all these beautiful comments I know it’s worth it. I hope everyone finds the courage to open up to others.

It takes courage to be open as you are and letting us know how you are feeling. Well done. Take all the time you need… Your story on fibromyalgia got me to follow you. You encourage me to sit on a bike more and possibly go on a micro adventure again on the bike. Don’t be hard on yourself. Just follow the path you already have chosen… 👊🏻

@Fietsvlogger 5 ай бұрын

Thanks. 🙏 I see more and more how strongly the mind and body are connected… The fibromyalgia often made me feel my body was working against me, but I think my body was actually trying to protect me. Definitely a topic I would like to make a video about, when I have learned more about it. Are you suffering from fibromyalgia yourself?

@Hangvogel 5 ай бұрын

@@Fietsvlogger Yes, and after some years I am now in sick leave due to the pain, fatigue and probably a burnout. Always worked hard and 40 hours per week, but now (hopefully) heading towards a social security payment (WIA). On the one hand this is painful but on the other hand I think it can help me in getting things on track again. Hopefully I can get some rest and in time get back partially in a job that suits me (and my fibromyalgia). I am very interested in how you cope with it in your live as being “self employed “. This is something I would love to take upon myself as well (graphic designer, working from home).

@Fietsvlogger 5 ай бұрын

@@Hangvogel Being self employed gives you the freedom to choose your own hours, which is great. I don’t feel that well in the mornings, and now can start the day at a slow pace. Also: go for short walks, have a swim, etc. Or take a sick day…. (Plenty of them.) But it’s a challenge as well. I haven’t been the best boss for myself over the last few years, taking on too much work. I’m trying to find a better balance. When working for other people it’s almost impossible to find that perfect balance though, in my experience. It’s even harder to say no. It is a great idea to start working from your own home, as a graphic designer. I took some courses in the past, to learn how to get assignments for example.

Stick to it ypung lady! I love your cycling videos. Give me inspiration to get off my butt and on my bike with the tent etc (even if it is only for 1 or 2 nights at a time). Couldn't do that trip on the river cruise to save my life though! Had a few miserable times in my life too, but now have 4 grandchildren ranging from 5 months to 5 years to think about. Old man from UK living in Austria, speaking a bit of broken German (more like Denglish if I'm honest). Sunset Strip (77) at the end of next month). Have to keep taking the tablets now and seriously restricted alcohol intake after a life of eating, drinking and being merry between the hangovers! Along with mountaineering, rock climbing, camping etc at the slightest opportunity since the age of 15. Yes, you brought a tear of sympathy to my eyes! Been there, done that! It gets better, but like grief, never totally forgotten, sadly. Please excuse the "Edits". Like many others my proof reading skills improve dramatically after 'send' is pressed! 😄😘

Wow John, really great to hear I’m inspiring people to jump on the bike. I have stopped drinking alcohol as well, actually during the years I was using pretty strong painkillers. Alcohol gives highs but also deep lows. Rock climbing sounds like a better way to find hapiness. 🏔️ Healing is a bit like grieving. It feels the same sometimes.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am going through things that make me think the world would be better off without me. I am creative and I have many friends that tell me that I have value but unfortunately that sentiment doesn't ring true. I love your creativity and vulnerability. We will survive and the hardships will be our armor to future sorrow. Love you - M

Wat knap dat je dit zo met ons deelt. Het leven is niet altijd rozegeur en maanenschijn, het kan behoorlijk pittig zijn. Vreugde en verdriet wisselen elkaar af en soms kunnen ze naast elkaar lopen. Ik wens je sterkte om stapje voor stapje vooruit te gaan. En ik kijk uit naar nieuwe video's die gaan komen, ik vind ze heel leuk om naar te kijken...ga zo door

@Fietsvlogger 5 ай бұрын

Hi Annelies, heel fijn om te horen. ❤️ Stapje voor stapje inderdaad, ik ben soms veel te ongeduldig. Dan maak ik weer een val en is het klimmen geblazen. Meer tijd nemen dus.

Dank Wouter. De natuur is zo kalmerend, ik kom echt tot rust als ik naar de zee of vogels luister. Het waren wel iets te veel fietskilometers deze keer, dus even rustig aan. Momenteel wandel ik iedere dag een stukje, ook heel fijn.🚶‍♀️
