Just exhausted

Very much so. If I’m anxious I feel very restless and find it very hard to be still. I walk about a lot when I’m anxious and like to get outdoors. At the same time anxiety exhausts me. In the last few months  I’ve regularly been going on 6 mile walks even though I’m exhausted by my anxiety before I even start the walk. But even so it helps me to go on these walks and I find the energy from somewhere to keep walking however tired I am. Walking outdoors is one of the few things that is helping me to cope at the moment.

I’m going to try doing more of that too. I had a lovely walk around sunset last night and there are some nice views out towards the mountains from my surrounding streets. I’m massively struggling with anxiety, and trying to let go of the last irrational thread or two of hope tied up in something. But something about forward physical momentum and nice views even as one ruminates (or uses podcasts to escape from that) does take the edge off for a time. I need to take more steps anyway, I’d like to get back to my old weight some day.
