Pokemon Go…It Helps

Every Pinterest post I read about anxiety and depression says that exercise helps with both. Getting fresh air and moving your body makes a big difference. Though I started playing Pokemon Go about two years ago (about a month or so after everyone else) it was only kinda helping by making me go for walks around the neighborhood to hatch eggs and what have you. It was only within the last year that I have come to go places like walking parks by myself. In that time I have met other players (though I did use to play with two friends of mine, one no longer living in the area and the other I haven’t hung out with in a long time do to my work as of a few months ago and both of our anxiety issues with leaving the house. Seriously hoping to get her back into it at some point especially now that it is about to be Summer.) Now that I haven’t been on the schedule a lot at work I have been going for walks a lot more (almost every day) and I have been more productive now only in the game but when I get home I am more motivated than ever to catch up on shows, get done with this book I am reading (hopefully before my family leaves for the beach, unless I have to unfortunately stay and watch the dog all week), and work on my Duct Tape products.

Tomorrow is the neighborhood Yard Sale. Mom says she has some random things that I can sit out on the driveway and sell if I want to. Also she thinks it would be a good start for me to sell my wallets. I am inclined to agree with her for once though it is from 7:30 til 12 and I am not sure of when I will wake up. Lately it has been 9 on days I don’t work though I do go to bed later on those days. Horrible night sleep I think is another symptom of my anxiety. Tonight I will try and go to bed uncharacteristically early so I can possibly do this thing but then again I will probably be up worrying that it will all go horribly wrong and I won’t sell any of my things let alone mom’s. I guess it’s a good thing I got an hour’s worth of active minutes in according to my FitBit and I am exhausted sitting here trying to keep my head up so maybe I will sleep tonight.
