The last couple of days I’ve had a severe bout of anxiety, a well-deserved relapse into this sucky disease. That’s what happens when you treat yourself too much. I struggle a bit with finding the balance my anxiety demands of me. It demands so much more balance than my body, and as I have just recently started to treat my anxiety myself (ie with food & healthy choices instead of anti-anxiety meds) I am not quite there yet.
I want to treat myself when I’m on holiday, I want to have a glass of wine at lunch if I feel like it and prioritize other stuff (incl. reading in the hammock and solving crossword puzzles…) instead of workouts. But I guess the problem, as with everything, is when I get too off balance.
So now it’s time for a few super healthy days before two of my close friends are getting married (to each other!) this weekend. Will try to stay reasonably on track there as well but when there’s champs…
Anyway, feeling a lot better now than I’ve been feeling for the past 48 hours so I’m happy. As always, a good, tough workout (today: 6k in ~37 min, new record for me!) helps a lot. Will try to get in a nice, stretchy and easy yoga workout tonight as well. And also I’ve learned to be nice to myself when this happens. I have anxiety and sometimes I manage to avoid it and sometimes I fuck up and bring it on myself, like now. But hey, I’m only human and what’s done is done – I can only try to do better in te future.
Do you have anxiety? How do you manage it?
