The last time I went to the track/football field to walk my dog I had an anxiety attack - not panic but I had all the symptoms mainly feeling disoriented and that "is this a dream" feeling. Anyhow my dog was exercised this afternoon at the track and tonight he was bored as I put him in his kennel and I fell asleep on the couch for four hours.
Needless to say I felt bad for him as he was very hyper. I decided to bring him to the track. It was about 8:00pm and getting dark but I went anyhow. We did the track about 5 times which is a little over a mile plus walked there and back so I figure about 2.5 miles in total. I had a bit of anxiety especially since it was starting to get very dark. I kept going around with him one more time. My anxiety was high but I pushed myself. I always do this. I push beyond the scope of my limits when I have anxiety just to prove to myself I can do it. I kept telling myself - I can have anxiety/panic any place - keep going.
I'm very proud of myself because since February of this year I've been going through hell (minus April/May/June) and now I'm switching meds so my anxiety is high.
I am so happy to have my dog because he helps me. He's the best therapy for me now that I'm off sick. He sometimes (well alot of times) stresses me out but then I miss him when I'm away from him. He's my best gift :yesyes:
