I've been planning to go for a short walk all week this week, and today i finally went for it. I only walked around my estate but i feel quite positive about doing it.
I started out feeling fine for the 1st 200 yards, but as i reached the furthest point from my house the negative thoughts began, i was thinking about my breathing and i was feeling quite anxious, but as i reached the half-way point the anxiety began to subside, and when i reached my road i thought i'd add a little extra to the journey, so i carried on round for another 5 minutes. Although i had the bad feelings, i was in a situation where the only way to escape it was to carry on. So i did.
I got home and jumped on the exercise bike for 10 minutes, i was knackered by this stage lol.
But alltogether i feel a bit more positive about things, I will do exactly the same walk tomorrow and hopefully it will become easy, and i wont even think about a thing. The plan is to keep doing this untill i become completely relaxed with the route, then i will make the walk a little further and a little more testing to push myself just a little further.
So all in all im havin an ok day.
I'll keep u posted on the progress of my long and testing road to recovery and the so called 'normality' of life.
