Yesterday I took a long walk of 20 km in my area. Lovely forest on the coastal area.
Have been taking walks almost daily for the last few months. And I have gotten some visible muscle growth in my legs. :-)
But at the end of the day I had an anxiety attack. Thoughts: No close friends, parenthood: fail?, fear of being pitied on.
But reading you all go through these when on a taper.
This morning: anxiety had weakened. Listened to a self-help podcast and have ordered two books. (...start working on myself even more!)
Today (3rd week of taper) I'll be starting 71.59 mg (total of 10 beads out of 37.5 mg).
Fingers crossed... fearing the worst, but going forward and not dwelling on the past.
I know I must carry through. I just hope it will be in a window.
Best.
