Confession of sin unto God
David when he kept close his sin; he roared by reason of horror; when he did not pour out his soul in confession to God; but when a man shall with an ingenious cleaness confess his evils unto God, this doth alleviate his mind, and lighten his burden, and ease his conscience, and quiet his spirit. Origen doth call confession of sin to God, the souls spiritual vomit. Now you know vomiting doth give ease to a burdened stomach, when the stomach is pained and burdened, and oppressed. A man is sick at the heart when meat doth not digest; the vomiting of the load off the stomach doth ease the stomach; when the conscience is burdened, when a man’s spirit is troubled, pouring out of complaints and confession to God doth ease the mind; A sinner is like a vessel of new wine filled and stopped up close; till it hath vent it is ready to burst; so is a godly man filled with sin, till he can vent by confession to God, his heart is ready to go burst. [Christopher Love]

Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.
