Oh yes. 40 years as an academic, 15 as a dean of science. Arachnoiditis and nueropathy following failed back surgery 4 years ago have slowed me down to a crawl and my self esteem has suffered greatly. How I miss my running, biking, hiking, travel. Waaay too much time for rumination. So sorry. I am a fellow traveler, my friend….

Your story is very similar to mine. Time for rumination is really at the heart of it, isn't it? I'm learning from others to think about what I can do and block those negative thoughts about what I can't do anymore. Easier said than done, but worth working on.
Thank you for responding.
