Thank you for the article entitled “Tried-and-True Techniques for Managing Stress” in the November/December [2024] issue. I live with fibromyalgia and osteoporosis, and I was a bit lost as to how to cope with stress. When I experience pain and fatigue,
I become overwhelmed. After reading this article, I began to read for stress relief. It helps to get into a story and forget my pain. It also helps me broaden my world view. I also bought some yarn and plan to take up knitting. In fact, I’ll be trying all the tips laid out in the article, including the idea of forest bathing. Your article helped me gain self-confidence and a sense of control over my ability to live a good quality of life despite my chronic conditions. Thank you so much!
