CONFESSIONS OF AN INTROVERT
I went for a walk yesterday. I had been feeling a little sick the day before so I didn’t want to press my luck and go for a full workout. The thing is… looking at my heart rate, the walk was on par with a fast jog and much better than a slow jog. … Continue reading I Just Don’t Know
I went for a walk yesterday. I was busy most of the day working on background research for my book. It was a lot of fun but it meant I was sitting nearly all day in front of the computer. Before I knew it, the sun was setting and I hadn’t had any exercise. So, … Continue reading Walking in the Moonlight
I went for a walk yesterday. I took the boys to the dentist in the morning (no cavities!) and when I came home all I wanted to do was binge eat comfort food. But you know what? I didn't do it. I am not sure what gave me the strength, but instead of chowing down, … Continue reading Going for a Walk in the Fall
Yesterday I had a bit of an anxiety attack in the middle of the day. It happened before I left to go swimming. For a moment I considered not going and staying home. I told myself it would be fine, I would run instead. I ended up sticking with my original plan and I … Continue reading How I Didn’t Back Out

I haven’t had an anxiety attack all week. I have a busy weekend planned, so, we will see how I fare. But mostly I would say I am doing well. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the voices in my head, to tell which ones are on my side and which ones … Continue reading Staying In The Moment
I got through the school day without a single anxiety attack. I am not sure why I was spared. Maybe it was because I wrote about it in detail before it happened. Maybe it is because I have been working out so much. Maybe it is because my partner came with me to the school … Continue reading Getting Ready for Halloween
I didn’t feel super great yesterday. I ran on the treadmill, I meditated, I worked… but still I felt off all day. Hopefully today will be a bit better. I plan on going swimming and seeing my counselor. Maybe it was all the pie I ate this weekend… maybe that has got me feeling so … Continue reading Feeling Down
About a month ago my trauma counselor told me that she is moving into private practice. And for the last few weeks I didn’t know if I would be able to continue to see her. Yesterday I found out that I will. It is still not clear how we will work it all out, (there … Continue reading Trauma Counseling And A Pool Closure
