This podcast is about my current stressor and how I deal with stress when it starts to become paralyzing/debilitating. When I am very stressed out I tend to do nothing. There doesn’t seem to be a way forward. However, I’ve learned exercising and communicating how I feel with my loved ones is very helpful since PTSD symptoms can become worse.

Most specifically how I experience feelings of loneliness while struggling with fibromyalgia and childhood trauma. It’s important to acknowledge that this is a normal and common feeling amongst those of us who have chronic pain conditions.
