Exercise

Exercise has really helped me a lot with my anxiety.I still get anxious from time to time, but most of my symptoms have more or less gone...so I’ll take that as a good thing. I still worry about my heart at times,but I’ve learned to tune it out and I’ve started sleeping better lately.

My doctor recommended going for walks if I’m not up for anything that’s too difficult and after a week or so,my chest started feeling less tight.Of course...there are days when I still worry.Days when I feel an ache or pain somewhere and my mind jumps to the worst case scenario.

It’s difficult at times to NOT worry,but the anxiety’s backing off a little and I’m even comfortable about going out in more crowded areas. I’ve stopped googling symptoms because 90% of the time it’s always cancer....and I’m tired of living my days filled with worry.So most of the time,I just feel like f*** it,I’m just going to make the best out of every day.

Fingers crossed that I don’t jinx it!

Thank you! I started with slow walks at my own pace first..and then gradually walked a longer/quicker distance after I started feeling better 😂
