Pain is

...best when it stops!  It hasn't stopped entirely, but today it stopped for the morning long enough for me to get out of my hotel room on vacation here in Mexico.  I went on a tour of one of the old beautiful churches here.  The wonderful tour guide was aware of my condition, so he took the tour group from place to place making sure there was a chair for me to sit down.



By the afternoon the pain came back, but the morning tour was worth it.  I loved getting out and about, feeling like I was on vacation again.  Crisis OVER.  I wanted to share about it as my thanks to you all for getting me through the last couple of PTSD-triggered painful days to where fun today happened.

Sounds like the outing, despite pain back in the afternoon, was well worth it. Change of scenery on a vacation is like medicine . Hang in there

Thanks for the update, Muji. Your perseverance is quite inspirational.

Kudos to the tour guide.

Happy the morning tour was worthy. It feels better when something good happens, although we experience pain before or after it.

Yay, everybody, for sharing in my making this a fun vacation. From what you all encouraged me to do, I got bold. I now booked another day trip tour by river boat (seated) to a beautiful canyon lake deep in the mountains tomorrow. I'm excited! Thanks for your encouragement to test my limits outdoors.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
