Scott, Lucy, Bruno, Thomas,
Thank you all so very much. It would be incredible if this site could host such a group. I shall read through those articles. I am seeing a therapist, though she doesn’t know anything at all about mountains, which means that all the questions about mountain risk management that are coming up for me are not questions she can engage with.
Bruno and Thomas – thank you very much for sharing your experiences. My sense is we don’t talk about these things enough, and it’s easy as a result to feel alone.
One benefit of the lockdown has been no access to rock or high terrain, so I’m hiking and running but not doing anything more serious. The timing of it is in that sense good for me. I am driven to get back to ‘real’ mountains, but some enforced time away enjoying hills may be exactly what I need.
