Happy Friday!<br /><br />You probably noticed I've been doing more video content lately, mostly to stay afloat on social media. It's been a hard adjustment, and I've grumbled the whole way, but it's also kind of exciting to create in a new format and see Epbot numbers actually <i>grow </i>again. <br /><br />Meanwhile, readership here on the blog continues to dwindle. And hey, I get it, <b>most people don't read blogs anymore.</b> The fact that <i>
711you're</i> still here is incredible, and your support means everything to me, but the online world has moved on. Unfortunately all I can do from here is continue to lose readers.<br /><br />Also at stake are my mental health and stress levels, as I juggle what is in essence a second full-time job creating and promoting videos and social media posts, all to push people towards this blog, when most are happy with just the videos and posts! John and I've been running full speed since October, giving it our all, but our all isn't working, and something's gotta give.<br /><i></i><i><br /></i>So starting today, Epbot the blog is going on the back burner. It will still be here - for all of us - but I don't plan to post here again anytime soon. Instead, I'll be doing three things:<br /><br /><b>First</b> I'm going to rest, because I can't remember the last time I was bored. I can't remember 712the last time I felt like I'd done enough to take the night off. I've made my living online for 15 years. Fifteen years! The increasing 713demand to do more, to be more, to craft an update so 714compelling the algorithm might show it to even a <i>fraction</i> of you... it's a lot. So I'm going to breathe, be still, reset my brain, and let myself dream big dreams again. <br /><br /><b>Second</b>, John and I are going to spend more time offline, helping people in real life. Our greatest passion has always been serving others, and we already have a list of projects scheduled to get us started. Over the next few months we'll be painting, organizing, decorating, and offering home repairs around Orlando again, all for free. Y'all. <i>I can't wait to work a job that gives me confidence again, </i>without the second-guessing. I can't wait to measure the value of my day by more than post reach, and feel that bone-deep satisfaction of leaving something better than we found it. I want to make helping others in a tangible way my priority, and give Epbot the extras - not the other way around. <br /><br /><b>And third</b>, I'll continue posting on social media as usual, plus experimenting with longer videos for YouTube later on. Yep, don't worry, I'm not really going anywhere! I'll still be sharing fun builds, events, and 715silly life stuff. So if you already follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/epbot/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Epbot" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EpbotVideo" target="_blank">Youtube</a>, not much will change. In fact you may see me more! </p><p style="text-align: center;">I can't promise much as I figure out what this next chapter looks like, so I understand if this change leaves you sad or disappointed. I love and appreciate every one of you, and your friendship has given me life, joy, and purpose for the last 12 years. For those of you who've supported John and I financially - well first, <i>thank you</i> - and also please know we won't be hurt or offended at all if you step away after this. Truly. It's ok. John and I have game-ified being frugal to the point that it's second 716nature, and we're fortunate to have enough little irons in the fire - 717online and off - that we'll be fine. If you do want to keep supporting us, then know your money will go towards our work for others. (Work I hope to share more of!) <br /><br />Like I said, this site isn't going anywhere: it will still be my home base of archives, templates, FAQs, etc. The Squeegineer give-aways will also continue every month. Community wise, both <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1152281891494764" target="_blank">Fans of Epbot</a> on Facebook and the <a href="https://discord.gg/Bvuhf95TVF" target="_blank">Epbot Discord</a> are going strong, and are independently run by <i>amazing</i> Epbot volunteers so we have a place to hang out together. Plus who knows, I may post here again! I just know for now, for this season, I'm ready to spend more time offline, get my hands dirty, and find fresh ways to share my joys and passions with you.<br /><br />This decision has been YEARS in the making, but I don't mind telling you I'm scared spit-less. I don't like change. I'm even more terrified of failure. But I also believe we should make decisions based on hope, not fear, and <i>this decision gives me so much hope. </i><br /><br />I can't wait to see what happens next.<br /><br />See you out there, friends and FoE.<br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQSj2EPQcOHQt4Iv5TjggRyabPu_xGZcPsO4SeoSvvKkFF2FJcSng3SG5A5DQOwb3NhOuxe51eTLJYsK0I7vAUxtUAaW75k3mB6ao2DsuffClzyvPCogYwbHpZ34B_rZx7AdDGpnqgdlsXSZC8vj0qKIMdtgQhZZquK-AVI-zYzteW7tQ8xd8RjHr/s1500/IMG_9519.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1235" data-original-width="1500" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQSj2EPQcOHQt4Iv5TjggRyabPu_xGZcPsO4SeoSvvKkFF2FJcSng3SG5A5DQOwb3NhOuxe51eTLJYsK0I7vAUxtUAaW75k3mB6ao2DsuffClzyvPCogYwbHpZ34B_rZx7AdDGpnqgdlsXSZC8vj0qKIMdtgQhZZquK-AVI-zYzteW7tQ8xd8RjHr/w640-h526/IMG_9519.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div> 718<div style='clear: both;'></div> 719</div> 720<div class='post-footer'> 721<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> 722Posted by 723<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Person'> 724<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408' itemprop='url'/> 725<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408' rel='author' title='author profile'> 726<span itemprop='name'>Jen</span> 727</a> 728</span> 729</span> 730<span class='post-timestamp'> 731at 732<meta content='https://www.epbot.com/2023/01/epbot-is-changing-its-time-to-pivot.html' itemprop='url'/> 733<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.epbot.com/2023/01/epbot-is-changing-its-time-to-pivot.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-01-20T15:45:00-05:00'>3:45 PM</abbr></a> 734</span> 735<span class='post-comment-link'> 736<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.epbot.com/2023/01/epbot-is-changing-its-time-to-pivot.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 737109 comments: 738 </a> 739</span> 740<span class='post-icons'> 741<span class='item-action'> 742<a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/1724594058209899258/4907203000239404473' title='Email Post'> 743<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> 744</a> 745</span> 746</span> 747</div> 748<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'> 749Labels: 750<a href='https://www.epbot.com/search/label/LifeAsIKnowIt' rel='tag'>LifeAsIKnowIt</a> 751</span> 752<div class='linkwithin_div'></div> 753</div> 754<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></div> 755</div> 756</div> 757<div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 758<h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, November 4, 2022</span></h2> 759<meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeSx0Enm1Y2Nz6Qvhw7Btx_DTdJgQzuNDsCy4XPfgcG3YAmY

I'd hoped to have a full reveal today of our 913 Hitchhiking Ghosts, but I'll have to leave you in suspense a few more days. 914 We need a little more time to both work and recover, and I know y'all will 915 be cool about it, so thanks for that.<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful 916 week, my friend, and I'm sending extra hugs to everyone affected by the 917 hurricane. If you're looking to donate to an on-the-ground disaster relief 918 charity then I recommend 919 <a href="https://convoyofhope.org/" target="_blank">Convoy of Hope</a>.

I'm back 1060 in regular therapy, I've had some extra cronchy chiropractic adjustments, I 1061 saw a new hormone specialist, and I'm currently adjusting to a bunch of new 1062 pills and potions.<br /><br /> 1063 It's been a little rocky, but despite this week-long migraine and some 1064 continuing night-time panic, I'm feeling more like myself every day. John and 1065 I even went to MetroCon the weekend before last to do some filming, which was 1066 a blast, so I hope to have that video up for y'all soon. 1067 1068 Thank you for being patient and sending all the good thoughts while I've been 1069 away. I'm still not 100%, so I can't guarantee regular posts again just yet, 1070 but please do watch this space. John and I've been working on some nifty 1071 projects and crafty builds that I can't wait to share with you, once I get 1072 back to writing-fit. <br /><br />In fact I'd hoped to have something more 1073 exciting to share with this first post back, but since I've been struggling 1074 for nearly a week with these medication adjustments (sweet Stay Puft, 1075 migraines are <i>exhausting</i>), I hope this quick assurance that all is well 1076 is enough for now. I'm still here, I'm doing mostly OK, the cats and John are 1077 all good, and I'm looking forward to hanging with y'all again real soon. 1078 <br /><br />Now, you go take care of yourselves, too, k? Meet ya back here 1079 later.<br /><br />::MWAH::<br /><br /><br />P.S.

Or at least, I <i>hope</i> the waiting is the hardest. <br></p><p style="text-align: center;"> I did the unhealthy thing, though: I tried to bottle up my anxiety, pretend everything was fine. Then the more I pretended, the more scared I got. Within a few days I was stuck in a panic loop, unable to think about anything but my own looming death, pain, and regrets. It was irrational, but also as real as my constantly sweating palms. <br></p><p style="text-align: center;">Anything mentionable is manageable. I love that lesson from Mr. Rogers and try to live by it, but I forgot it this time, beloved. Instead of mentioning it, instead of dragging my nasty little fear gremlin into the light, I hid it from John and my friends. I built walls around it. I guarded it. And so it grew.<br></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyH7WAIITvJoIf-rJ4jM6ft7sh8VpvDTw5VnHmSQ35ue-yers7nYXXk34VzJOYBHHf403XfMfwuqSomEOLIe4Xu1w_3Z4a59T0Ndlbrp-q68RmsQ1x_UDrUeAcu8_SiItkLEZuIRUn6ert21AiG_aLO7nlABnwnzQIApp377pIboZRUy

Blind panic, full body shakes, and finally, mercifully, a loud and messy confessional sobbed into John's shoulder. It was the scariest 24 hours I've had in years; I still feel the dread rippling forward from it now. <br></p><p style="text-align: center;">And yet, within an hour of pouring out my secret, I felt <i>so much 1190better.</i> Talking about how scared I was made the fear gremlin shrink. Suddenly I 1191remembered how treatable all these things we're testing for are, how it's <i>good</i> to check things early, and how unlikely it is that we'll find something doomsday-level 1192 in the first place. After so much certain despair, I felt a shaky ray of hope.<br></p><p style="text-align: center;">The next day, all heck broke loose again online. <br></p><p style="text-align: center;">As the internet exploded in a fresh wave of conflict, I had to go into survival mode. I know some of you are up for the fight, and others are like me: already panicked and broken even before this latest tipping point. So I thought I'd share 5 things I've been doing this week for my mental health. Maybe something here will help some of you who are barely hanging on, too.<br></p><span></span></div> 1193<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1194</div> 1195<div class='jump-link'> 1196<a href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/06/intimidation-crab-other-survival.html#more' title='Intimidation Crab & Other Survival Strategies'>» Read More</a> 1197</div> 1198<div class='post-footer'> 1199<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> 1200Posted by 1201<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Person'> 1202<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408' itemprop='url'/> 1203<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1204<span itemprop='name'>Jen</span> 1205</a> 1206</span> 1207</span> 1208<span class='post-timestamp'> 1209at 1210<meta content='https://www.epbot.com/2022/06/intimidation-crab-other-survival.html' itemprop='url'/> 1211<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/06/intimidation-crab-other-survival.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-06-28T15:16:00-04:00'>3:16 PM</abbr></a> 1212</span> 1213<span class='post-comment-link'> 1214<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/06/intimidation-crab-other-survival.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 121535 comments: 1216 </a> 1217</span> 1218<span class='post-icons'> 1219<span class='item-action'> 1220<a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/1724594058209899258/6606718969897996078' title='Email Post'> 1221<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> 1222</a> 1223</span> 1224</span> 1225</div> 1226<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'> 1227Labels: 1228<a href='https://www.epbot.com/search/label/Anxiety' rel='tag'>Anxiety</a>, 1229<a href='https://www.epbot.com/search/label/LifeAsIKnowIt' rel='tag'>LifeAsIKnowIt</a> 1230</span> 1231<div class='linkwithin_div'></div> 1232</div> 1233<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></div> 1234</div> 1235</div> 1236<div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 1237<h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, June 24, 2022</span></h2> 1238<meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVKdv2yRRj3pP0NbZPmUDo3WK-MgVfmq3VqV3dLXonnUxGKaCa5vYHymFbPkaOFt42PYrVQVHdVIbQMhWHjdhkj1v8wtch38EhxPwUIdUbNwi1mvq1kXnebVOFYOT3w1SwFYuwIZvAQv8kts6kNSuSSe7wHtf1O13yszIjxQ8GtPpYUcxSsEKyMBFy/w640-h640/mammo-grahams.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> 1239<meta content='1724594058209899258' itemprop='blogId'/> 1240<meta content='1594002333838606410' itemprop='postId'/> 1241<a name='1594002333838606410'></a> 1242<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 1243<a href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/06/mammo-mia-i-got-my-first-mammogram.html'>Mammo-Mia!

Maybe save this one for <i>after</i> work.<br><br><br>*****<br><br>I don't know about you, fellow anxiety warriors, but for me <i>any</i> new body pain 1250 sends my brain sprinting towards Worse Case Scenario Valley. So of course when my left armpit and arm gave the slightest of aches the other week, it was 1251 RED ALERT ALL HANDS ON PANIC.<br> 1252</p> 1253<p></p> 1254<p style="text-align: center;"> 1255 You might recall I have <a href="https://www.epbot.com/2022/03/hey-read-this-if-your-hands-go-numb.html" target="_blank">Thoracic Outlet Syndrome</a>: a pinched nerve in the 1256 clavicle area that causes arm and hand numbness and pain. You might also 1257 remember my left arm is worse than my right. After months of treatment the 1258 numbness is mostly gone, but I still get occasional aches. So, logically, that 1259 is the likely culprit.<br> 1260</p> 1261<p> 1262 </p><p style="text-align: center;">Does my panicky lizard brain appreciate <i>logic</i>, 1263 though?<br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Ooooof</i> course not.<br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Adding to the freshly whipped panic smoothie was that we recently adjusted some of my 1264 hormone meds, so for the first time in ages, my tracts of land kinda hurt. I 1265 am not used to this. <b>I do not like it</b>.<br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'd had a breast ultrasound 1266 last year, but never an actual mammogram. Like a lot of you with upper 1267 acreage, the idea of a mammogram scared the crap out of me. I'd heard the horror stories, and 1268 even watched my mom get the squeeze when I was a teenager. Mom has an insanely high 1269 pain tolerance, so she barely flinched, but seeing her boobs smashed that flat 1270 was <i>traumatizing</i>, ok? <br></p><p> 1271</p> 1272<p style="text-align: center;"> 1273 <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVKdv2yRRj3pP0NbZPmUDo3WK-MgVfmq3VqV3dLXonnUxGKaCa5vYHymFbPkaOFt42PYrVQVHdVIbQMhWHjdhkj1v8wtch38EhxPwUIdUbNwi1mvq1kXnebVOFYOT3w1SwFYuwIZvAQv8kts6kNSuSSe7wHtf1O13yszIjxQ8GtPpYUcxSsEKyMBFy/s454/mammo-grahams.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="454" data-original-width="454" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVKdv2yRRj3pP0NbZPmUDo3WK-MgVfmq3VqV3dLXonnUxGKaCa5vYHymFbPkaOFt42PYrVQVHdVIbQMhWHjdhkj1v8wtch38EhxPwUIdUbNwi1mvq1kXnebVOFYOT3w1SwFYuwIZvAQv8kts6kNSuSSe7wHtf1O13yszIjxQ8GtPpYUcxSsEKyMBFy/w640-h640/mammo-grahams.jpg" width="640"></a><br> 1274</p> 1275<p style="text-align: center;"><i>Noooo, second-hand flashbacks...</i><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">That said, pain and panic are <b>powerful</b> motivators, and lucky for me a 1276 routine mammogram is one of the few medical things here in Orlando that 1277<i> doesn't </i>have a months-long wait. Our imaging clinic had a spot for me in two days, and not only that, they had me in, scanned, and out in under 20 1278 minutes.<br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Better still, I am relieved and delighted to report IT 1279 DIDN'T HURT, y'all. It really didn't! I was still waiting for the "real" 1280 pressure to start when the tech said we were done with the first scan. We 1281 did three compressions on each side (I assume because it was my first mammo) and 1282 each felt like a firm hug between plastic plates, no more, even on my 1283 already-tender poofs. I have a low pain tolerance, but I only felt a single 1284 uncomfortable pinch during one pass, which I think was more the top plate snagging 1285 too much chest skin than the actual squeeze.<br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1286 Since then I've discovered the reason for my less painful experience may have 1287 been the <i>machine</i>. My clinic uses a 3D mammography machine, something not every lab has yet. Our moms had the older 2D machines, and if 1288 you remember a super smashy mammogram, it's possible that's what you had, 1289 too.<br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">
1289Both 2D and 3D machines look similar, but the 3D ones move 1290 in a half circle over you during the scan: <br></p><p> 1291</p> 1292<p style="text-align: center;"> 1293 <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnG0Aj4EPyJpW4Bhyt-YcPPpDN2UVK8WccxgYnNOK095UeNiAn2uKQ-a3bpYjR4uRczDQ4FKs4LnlC-wfEYQTYJ9eV_de0upFoAPW6aACScE_qWkQ2h2Amp4eb1prUnlBKtwVaZ--BSoybrL0SJL9L5swmwX4-ogkDecpuyPZw9KoRJPX38wUJQ3H1/s300/Woman_receives_mammogram-300x240.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="300" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnG0Aj4EPyJpW4Bhyt-YcPPpDN2UVK8WccxgYnNOK095UeNiAn2uKQ-a3bpYjR4uRczDQ4FKs4LnlC-wfEYQTYJ9eV_de0upFoAPW6aACScE_qWkQ2h2Amp4eb1prUnlBKtwVaZ--BSoybrL0SJL9L5swmwX4-ogkDecpuyPZw9KoRJPX38wUJQ3H1/w640-h512/Woman_receives_mammogram-300x240.jpg" width="640"></a><br> 1294</p> 1295<p style="text-align: center;"> 1296 According to everything I'm seeing online these are superior to the 2D scans, 1297 with more angles and better imaging, less compressions, and 1298 fewer false-positives.

Am I right?<br><br>My fingers started going numb probably 4-5 years ago, usually while I slept. I'd wake up and shake my hands around wildly to get the feeling back, not realizing the problem wasn't in my wrists, but my neck. Eventually I learned that a few neck twists looking over my shoulders would bring the feeling back, but even then I blamed it on tight shoulder muscles, and didn't think much of it.<br><br>Over the years the numbness <span class="fullpost">got worse, though, so I finally did some Googling and found a name: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Even better, I found a diagram showing exactly where the problem is:<br><br></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="fullpost"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZucImhC4LFYGjAtiZGxkkm6Do_Yn945VPwnmiCDmTdnJtLC1z2bTNSC1Lho-pP6nlpyi_Ouj1nFhETZxP31wqjA

Things like "tech neck" and poor posture cause the muscles to tighten over time, pulling in the clavicle and constricting the nerves underneath against the top rib. The result is hand and arm numbness, tinging, pain, etc. (I'm not a doctor, of course, so hit that link to Johns Hopkins to learn more.)<br><br>The diagram was a revelation. Now when parts of my hand went numb I stopped simply <i>twisting</i> my neck - which was working less and less - and instead banged on my neck with my knuckles, all over the scalene area. This worked like a charm, but never lasted long. As soon as I lifted my arms or looked down at my phone again, the numbness would come back. It shifted around, too; sometimes my thumb and forefinger were out, other times the entire pinky side of my hand. My fingers would also ache from time to time, deep down.<br></span><span class="fullpost"><span class="fullpost"><br>I mentioned the numbness to our chiropractor many times, but nothing he did ever helped. So save your dollars if you're considering chiropractic; TOS is a muscle issue.</span><br><br>Over the years the numbness went from an occasional nuisance in the morning to an almost constant impediment. I was stopping over a dozen times a day to bang on my neck, and when we volunteered as painters a few months back my hands were so numb I couldn't hold the brush without stopping every few feet, for fear of dropping it. I knew that TOS doesn't cause permanent damage, so I wasn't worried, but it was so. dang. <i>frustrating</i>.<br><br>Now here's where we turn to the good news. Yayyyy.<br><br>If you've researched Thoracic Outlet Syndrome then you know the recommended treatment option of "physical therapy" is annoyingly vague. I couldn't find <i>any</i> recommended stretches or exercises, just repeated recommendations of "physical therapy." <i>Harrumph</i>. I'd been doing yoga almost every night since before Christmas, but that wasn't helping, no matter how many neck and shoulder stretches I did. So with the only other options being surgery or nerve blocks, I finally caved and asked John to find a physical therapist. <br><br>We were directed to an osteopath, which is a doctor who uses "physical manipulation" in addition to conventional medicine. Osteopaths aren't as common here in the U.S. as they are in Europe, but I'd heard good things. (It was an osteopath in the Netherlands who helped my mom recover full range of motion in her arm <i>decades</i> after a car accident, something no other doctor or chiropractor had been able to do.)<br><br>As soon as I sat on the table the osteopath and his assistant raised my arm, tilted my head back and to the side, and took my pulse. How's this for fascinating, y'all: because TOS constricts blood flow as well as nerves, <b><i>they can diagnose TOS by a diminished pulse. </i></b>They could even tell that my left arm was worse than my right, just by my pulse! So within two minutes I had an official diagnosis of "severe" TOS. Not the worst he'd ever seen, but definitely bad.<br><br>This is getting kinda long, so</span><span class="fullpost"> as the TikTokkers say,</span><span class="fullpost"> let me skip to the good part. <br><br>I've had one 15-minute treatment a week for 6 weeks, and while I'm not fixed yet, I'm happy to report my hands only go numb a few times a day now. Considering it took most of my adult life to develop TOS, this much improvement in a month and half is incredible, and honestly more than I hoped for.  It's actually <i>more</i>
1476 frustrating now when my fingers go numb, because I'm not used to them being numb all the time anymore - and that's a wonderful feeling.<br><br>I also won't keep you in suspense; I'm going to tell you what the treatment is. Mostly because it is absolutely fascinating, and something I couldn't find online. Hopefully this will help if you're considering physical therapy yourself.<br><br>It's, uh, also quite painful. The description may bother you a bit if you're squeamish.<br><br>As the doc explained it to me, the scalene muscles are too tight and need to be stretched, but there's no way we can stretch them ourselves. Instead we need a doctor to stretch the muscles <i>for</i> us.<br><br>To do this, the doc pulls my arm out at a right angle, applying constant pressure, and uses his other hand to dig his fingers in above my collar bone. He gets a grip around the collar bone with hooked fingers, and <b>yanks.</b> He uses all his strength, bracing his foot on the table below me and leaning back with his body weight. Then he stays like that, for several, excruciating minutes.<br></span><br>It hurts, y'all.

The concept of "leveling up" versus "getting older." Instead of focusing on the things we <i>lose</i> as we age - smooth skin, energy, the metabolism of a coked-up weasel - leveling up focuses on the things we <i>gain</i>. Things like skills, experience, and better armor for your body type. </p><p>When I was 20 the thought of making a healthy breakfast for myself every day was laughable, I had no idea why everything hurt all the time, and I believed everyone everywhere had to like me at all times or I might <i>actually</i> die.  <br><br>Now at level 43 I'm more comfortable with myself and others, I've had most of my broken parts diagnosed and treated, I <i>feel</i> a million times better, and I've learned hundreds of skills and coping techniques and routines that<b> just make life better</b>. Like how to make a healthy breakfast every day. It's awesome. <i>Leveling up is awesome.</i><br><br>So in that spirit, I want to share three ways I've leveled up my mental health game this past year. I haven't mastered anything yet - and never expect to - but these are ways I can look back and see definite improvements.<br><br></p><p>1) <b>Lean In To The Routine<br></b><br>This is obvious for most of my fellow mental health warriors, but it's gotta be said. <i>Routine is our friend</i>. Make lists. Set alarms. Schedule your week, your meals, maybe even your outfits if that helps. The less mental energy you spend making decisions, the more you'll have to tackle your day, your work, and the unexpected gremlins life chucks your way. So spend your precious, finite cache of mental energy wisely. <br><br>If this is a new strategy for you, let me recommend my post <a href="https://www.epbot.com/2020/07/routine-maintenance-4-ways-ive-reduced.html" target="_blank">Routine Maintenance: 4 Ways I've Reduced My Daily Anxiety By Limiting My Choices</a>.<br><br>And here are two tools from that post that help me stick to a routine: <br><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">- <b>A pre-printed daily list:</b><br></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCLOrGxHQoICV79w_8aFNeP5a3cz5gPInrhig1zN1qHYtTgKjof-eLGGO-VddlBfMWTDQWhoE5Jo3iLIwb5ht9ZGS4--zXHHmsaaeBEUm8mNF4ybDP2YOGyi6qTOpxvE165PNswlQmw8kEuomFXzeu4vGMVCwrLuGUHm3RhdvvQb6-S5EQRudcxB98=s1500" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCLOrGxHQoICV79w_8aFNeP5a3cz5gPInrhig1zN1qHYtTgKjof-eLGGO-VddlBfMWTDQWhoE5Jo3iLIwb5ht9ZGS4--zXHHmsaaeBEUm8mNF4ybDP2YOGyi6qTOpxvE165PNswlQmw8kEuomFXzeu4vGMVCwrLuGUHm3RhdvvQb6-S5EQRudcxB98=w480-h640" width="480"></a><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">(I erased all my strike-throughs so you can see my examples from yesterday.)<br></p><p><br>Note how the 2nd thing on my list is to make <i>

We started small, just a few hours a weekend sorting clothes for their thrift store. That was so fun we decided to go bigger, and over the last few months we've replaced ceiling tiles, painted entire offices, laid over 1,200 square feet of laminate flooring, replaced sinks, and more. It's harder work than we've ever done for friends, but also vastly more rewarding.<br><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4k68GHeG6HxICYKwYAROtXc_MhyWe81PQKKjtmI7Q18uw6o7dUjXapNu2QndUZpbMjNJMrlB1StkW4TIusIPG-1Tliy9vEC0VCenPmZ-WXtuwiPWEQ8VYKaAf57FlX2sYz_wZWy6A8HlFBgI8qsC4ZcmNJwt_yoBUNVDOasuyzmdNCYbxgnKYAudV=s1500" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1028" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4k68GHeG6HxICYKwYAROtXc_MhyWe81PQKKjtmI7Q18uw6o7dUjXapNu2QndUZpbMjNJMrlB1StkW4TIusIPG-1Tliy9vEC0VCenPmZ-WXtuwiPWEQ8VYKaAf57FlX2sYz_wZWy6A8HlFBgI8qsC4ZcmNJwt_yoBUNVDOasuyzmdNCYbxgnKYAudV=w438-h640" width="438"></a><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">If you watch my Stories you might remember some of these updates.<br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhuHSJCVLUfGw6WsJpicJpn-WuMAfYdOm1-jbiVY-rfuklsy-G5HgZqKEiNueYUhvniCK0xKU-myXwDbW4CzmNI-X1Cg_2y3_OLnwXXwzbZzklGGjlv-QM1T_x1ZEcvR5L5jARU_VGEbE-o52FJtB2QX9nqZPX2dts-7fU3ACbBusrf5lbKDGAgTGm=s1500" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="943" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhuHSJCVLUfGw6WsJpicJpn-WuMAfYdOm1-jbiVY-rfuklsy-G5HgZqKEiNueYUhvniCK0xKU-myXwDbW4CzmNI-X1Cg_2y3_OLnwXXwzbZzklGGjlv-QM1T_x1ZEcvR5L5jARU_VGEbE-o52FJtB2QX9nqZPX2dts-7fU3ACbBusrf5lbKDGAgTGm=w402-h640" width="402"></a><br></p><p><br>How is busting our butts for free rewarding? Let me give you an example. Two week ago as John and I were painting the Client Services building - where they distribute food, rent money, and more - I watched an older woman knock on the door and beg for a loaf of bread. "Please," she said, "Just anything." The office was closed at the time, but the workers still opened the door and handed over a bag of groceries. I was across the room painting out of sight, but that moment struck me to my core, gang. I felt incredibly humbled and grateful and sad and joyful, all at the same time. At that moment, you couldn't have <i>dragged</i> me away from the work I was doing. <span></span></p></div></div> 1666<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1667</div> 1668<div class='jump-link'> 1669<a href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/01/the-three-best-things-ive-done-for-my.html#more' title='The Three Best Things I've Done For My Mental Health In The Last Year'>» Read More</a> 1670</div> 1671<div class='post-footer'> 1672<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> 1673Posted by 1674<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Person'> 1675<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408' itemprop='url'/> 1676<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1677<span itemprop='name'>Jen</span> 1678</a> 1679</span> 1680</span> 1681<span class='post-timestamp'> 1682at 1683<meta content='https://www.epbot.com/2022/01/the-three-best-things-ive-done-for-my.html' itemprop='url'/> 1684<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/01/the-three-best-things-ive-done-for-my.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-01-28T12:30:00-05:00'>12:30 PM</abbr></a> 1685</span> 1686<span class='post-comment-link'> 1687<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.epbot.com/2022/01/the-three-best-things-ive-done-for-my.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 168819 comments: 1689 </a> 1690</span> 1691<span class='post-icons'> 1692<span class='item-action'> 1693<a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/1724594058209899258/1849521570576458753' title='Email Post'> 1694<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> 1695</a> 1696</span> 1697</span> 1698</div> 1699<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'> 1700Labels: 1701<a href='https://www.epbot.com/search/label/Anxiety' rel='tag'>Anxiety</a>, 1702<a href='https://www.epbot.com/search/label/LifeAsIKnowIt' rel='tag'>LifeAsIKnowIt</a> 1703</span> 1704<div class='linkwithin_div'></div> 1705</div> 1706<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></div> 1707</div> 1708</div> 1709<div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 1710<h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, December 31, 2021</span></h2> 1711<meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjP4kVYuoEI2ZS43Zk-sOMckeYTLGNjHw7aTCCAHTiO0qfNBRkncdNBmcrxM0jrIwgHSAkD4KCC00boCYXm794ZOxVOYHwen5oiSKYgcR3ZdkXOs9geYgrD6N-ZSzn6w8Tfi4YHZjQzhkVIyGgZrDvfyCmDsLO5mTkvFR3M3D8NJ7D2BoKrR_HYDj52=w640-h480' itemprop='image_url'/> 1712<meta content='1724594058209899258' itemprop='blogId'/> 1713<meta content='6866544435074683966' itemprop='postId'/> 1714<a name='6866544435074683966'></a> 1715<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>
