"Patients described collapsed futurity, fluctuating daily rhythms, and a biographical split between “before” and “after” illness. Their lived space narrowed due to pain, immobility, and fear of unpredictability. Embodiment became marked by pervasive pain, exhaustion, and bodily estrangement. Selfhood was threatened by loss of roles and diminished agency, while invisibility, disbelief, and isolation profoundly shaped intersubjective experience." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022399926001406
