Home alone for the next 12 days, a huge removal of safety when my family are on holiday and a massive trigger for my anxiety. This morning I was convinced I would not go out and do a run due to my thoughts of having a heart attack and not being found in the woods or back roads etc, or even worse my fear of having a panic attack and getting stuck! After gathering a a little bit of courage I was sure I wouldn’t go any further than 1/2k… However, as we all know it’s very rarely as bad as we imagine. It turned out to be one of my most composed runs in a while, I went further than I planned and now I feel proud and my confidence has increased. Onwards and upwards!
