I have horrible anxiety today because I decided I should try walk outside for a bit by myself I usually am with my partner in case I get too sore or have a vertigo attack or due to my anxiety levels but thought I'd try it today I hate being so nervous about going outside in general let alone the anxiety of just walking a few mins for a loaf of bread .... although I picked a further store as I ran out of gf snacks and I'm due my period so I need the snacks aha π

@mamabear1990 I think it's a great way to keep your mind busy. I too stop to listen to the birds.
Congrats on the walk!! You did it, you should be very proud of yourself! And I know all too well about the back problems and weight issues and with chest too lol walking is hard to do. Fibromyalgia and anxiety do not help at all. I never thought of picking up leaves and touching them. There are tons here. Of course after walking a bit I don't think my back will allow me to bend to pick one up.
@DogWhisperer I can't get them off the floor sadly but I touch them in passing bushes and plants π not even sure why I like the feel of them tbh but helps me try think of something else while I'm really anxious I'm trying to feel proud of myself while knowing the soreness sucks π©but just trying to reduce my pain levels in general arg I must look rather odd touching leaves outside haha π I also will just suddenly stop and look for birds that I can hear nearby π€£π€£
Fibromyalgia can often cause anxiety when going out, especially with dizzy spells. I can't go out alone anymore for just those causes. As long as you can, breathe through the anxiety. Feel free to reach out anytime.

@faerywyrm it's silly really as I'm more anxious if the outside with people then the mishaps that might happen outside although they freak me out in case I get stuck outside alone or throw up from vertigo outside etc I get really weird ear troubles π₯ have had jerky movements and passing out in the house from it π© I sat down a couple times on the way And when I felt really anxious I started breathing and touching random leaves as I like the sensation ππ₯° but I can say now I've got a huge headache and my feet and legs and upper back are horribly sore (carried a backpack of shopping home) but I did an achievement for me fitness wise β£οΈ i'm a bit overweight and it makes my back hurt worse π© add on heavy chest area I'd like to be able to move around enough to not have as much pressure on my muscles π thank you π
@mamabear1990 it sounds like you overcame a lot today. You triumphed. Anxiety in social situations is not uncommon, nor is overdoing with fibromyalgia. Be sure to take care of yourself.
