    We went out to lunch to a restaurant that wasn’t loud, but had music playing in the background and people talking. We later visited my sister and her kids for a couple hours. Then came home and played a card game in my quiet living room where a lot a laughter took place and fun memories were discussed. No protection used at any point..

    Today, my T is no worse than it would be if I was by myself yesterday on my quiet home, hyper focused on T and ruminating in my negative feedback loops and depression. And actually in some small aspects, it’s more manageable today than a few days ago…

    Yesterday taught me a lot. First, I seem to be very blessed to have resetting T/T not permanently spiked by moderate level sounds. But even more so, I learned my mental state is so much of this. I need to distract myself, I need to try to inch towards some normalcy, I need to stop letting this run me/my life to the extent that it does if I don’t need it to…

    Still take precautions and make “sound” decisions, but it seems I may have more wiggle room than I thought, so I need to work on taking these baby steps to do so. Praying my stem cell treatment kicks in, and if not, just got to make it so Susan Shore.

    @ErikaS knowing what you can do without it having an effect on your T level gives you that freedom to do more without that worry.

    @ErikaS That's a pretty good suprise. I've been pretty much isolated from my friends since this happened.

    @Ryan Scott Have you tried a small quiet visit with/without protection? It’s very good for the mental health if you’re able to.
