Ah, I wish cycling WERE a cure for PTSD - or, rather, C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which is what I am battling. (The result of prolonged exposure to trauma, as opposed to trauma as a one-off event e.g. a car crash.) I've been searching for a cure for years.
Which is why cycling is a distraction, especially hill cycling. In other words, cycling that exhausts me so much that I can't think about anything else except getting up that hill followed by the sense of achievement when I do reach the summit, hopefully without getting off my bicycle and pushing it up a section of the hill!
As I said at the start of this blog, my initial posts may be very short and sweet so I don't overwhelm myself.
In the meantime, please check out my YouTube Channel: Batty Matty's bike rides, UK where I've uploaded over 100 bike ride videos from the past few years.
