“The only way out is through.” That’s what my new temporary tattoo says…because it’s hard to read on my atrophied, saggy-skinned forearm. Ten plus weeks post-shoulder surgery and I’m 2-4 weeks slower in recovery than most people. I’m frustrated, angry, and ready to give up on PT – except then I’ll NEVER recover.

So I stocked up on these tatts because someday I WILL be through. Through the pain. Through PT. Through recovery.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. I decided to share a little of how I’ve gotten through situational depression, anxiety, and PTSD in my posts this month.

Today I’m simply reminding myself the only way out is THROUGH.

In the interest of not overwhelming you with emails this month, I will only post to Instagram. You can see these extra posts on ComeSoAlive.com or on Instagram – you don’t need an Instagram account to view it in either place.
