Thoughts & Feelings

* Well, I hurt today. I have aches in places I didn't realise I had places.

* The lunchtime walk was hard going. My thighs were aching, it felt like my legs were going to fall off but I thought it important to push through (so to speak), train my muscles to tolerate the extra exertion.

* Pain watch - other than the self imposed leg ache, my usual neck pain has not flared up over the last few days. Instead, it has been replaced by a feeling that my top half is 'locked up' so that it can be uncomfortable to turn my head too far or too quickly. I am reminded of the old gag about the man going to the doctor and saying, 'It hurts when I move my arm like this,' to which the doctor says, 'Then don't move your arm like that.' Towards the end of the afternoon, the usual pain returned, stretching down my back and through the base of my skull. It is rather unpleasant, all told.

* Feel a bit fat after my carbs last night but this is likely psychosomatic. My 34 inch trousers are comfortable enough but I do have a nagging suspicion that the button is going to ping off and have someone's eye out. Luckily I have a belt so at least I should be able to keep them up.

Don't forget to check out The Anxiety Diaries elsewhere on the site, as I examine my daily anxiety triggers and try to understand them, with the hope of one day overcoming them.
