1. My anxiety rises. I can physically feel my anxiety coursing through my veins. It’s like having this constant nervous butterflies that create knots throughout my entire body. I get anxious about medications, drinking alcohol, sleeping, and going out in public. Everything just hurts. Everything makes me want to cry. My muscles and throat tighten […]
Remember life? Remember how sometimes things happen unexpectedly? This seems to be happening quite a bit lately. To be honest with you I’m actually pretty nervous and embarrassed to write this post, but I have always tried my best to be honest about myself and my anxiety. I could have written this post sooner, but […]
Signing up for my first Zombie 5K Run! This is something that I have wanted to do for years, but I was either way too out of shape or having too much anxiety. Ever since I got into watching The Walking Dead (not so much anymore) I have wanted to do one of these runs. […]
So another personal recovery post. This is a picture I took of myself a few years ago because I was actually trying to see if I had an iron deficiency and I was checking my eyes…anxiety was making me think everything was wrong and I was hunting for answers. I was falling over every time […]
Hi Everyone! So just giving everyone a little up to date info for anyone that’s been interested in this 5K journey I’m on. I ran 3.08 miles in about 36 or 37 minutes today. A little slow but hey it’s the first time I’ve ran three miles in about three months so I’m still proud […]
So, I’m supposed to be training for this 5K, and I have kinda dropped the ball over this past week. I’m not perfect. And sometimes when anxiety hits, EVERYTHING feels like the biggest task and one of the last things you feel like doing is exercising, especially running. But, here we are, I went. So […]
I’m happiest when I’m writing. It gives me this chance to put all of my racing thoughts into a post. It helps my mind become clear and it gives me somewhere to put my anxiety. I think the words in my mind are better than the ones I say are just louder and have more […]
Thank you so much to everyone that has followed my blog. It makes me so happy to know there’s people out there reading about how I feel and my experiences. I was incredibly nervous to start this journey but I am very happy I did. I never thought I would start a blog because I […]
So you guys, do I have a tale for you… Ah, mental health, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unhappiness. As you already know. But, I decided I would do something strong and something bigger then myself and volunteer somewhere. Sounds like a good idea right? I browsed a few volunteer opportunities, specifically working with dogs because […]
So technically this is day two of training for my first 5K in about 10 years. I have run three miles since then but only a handful of times and only within the last two months. I was also not training, just being healthy and trying to prove I still got it. So, anyway, yesterday […]
