So, since I'm even more of a shut in than I was before, staying in my apartment makes me feel somewhat safe. But if I could recover from my stairs panic, I would so much rather have a nice breath of the beautiful air outside, and I can only think happily about the long walks I used to take daily, but due to physical problems, I'm likely never to be able to again.

So, if your body is sound, and you have that panic in the past today, I would suggest going outside to draw strength from the beauty of spring.
Thanks for your encouragement and perspective, Angelique, I really appreciate it. And I'm sorry to hear that your physical problems limit your ability to get out. Do you have any ways that you keep your connection with nature despite your physical limitations?
