- This check-in is for June 1st – 7th.
- Everything I’ve been doing to try to manage the pain I’m in seems to be at least helping. I’ve had a few pain free hours every once in a while over the past week, and I’m getting a bit more sleep.
- To help me track my symptoms and what I’m doing, I got the Bearable app. So far, it’s already showing me that my pain gets worse when I’ve been stressed, which I suspected.
- Seeing this pain-stress connection in the data, and reading Mind Your Body, has gotten me to truly focus on my self-care, and not just for pain-relief. I’ve suffered from Anxiety and Depression most of my adult life, and I haven’t been great about managing those. So, I’m back to journaling regularly, going to a group, attending to my spiritual health, and reading books that might help me. I will likely start going to see a therapist again, but I’m on the fence about that right now.
