Picking up a new sport

A big goal of mine right before I started really struggling with anxiety 3 years ago was to try to become good at surfing. I've been trying to pick it up again lately, and went on a surf trip with new people I didn't know over the weekend. Travelling can sometimes bring on DPDR but I still managed it, had a ton of fun with everyone I met, and was consistently catching waves!! I still struggle with a bit of health anxiety here and there but I'm just proud of myself for doing something that I don't even know if the non-anxious version of me in my old life would have tried.
