Gabbro

Anxiety and depression. I’ve gone from Lexapro to Venlafaxine to Prozac. Hard to tell if I should switch again or if I just have to feel this way until I’m employed.

7 years ago, before the day my first dog was euthanized at the vet.

Either I’ve had it alright so far or my medication is keeping it in at this point…

I enjoy things when I have a sense of progression I think. So I most enjoy lifting because of that, and when I could, the novelty of strongman was great to mix in.

I used to swim all the time but I burned out on it. I was just adding mileage and I think the only thing that kept me going was the whole body exhaustion/relaxation afterwards. As well as buying myself some bone conducting earphones so I had something to listen to instead of my own thoughts!

Alongside lifting I walk and run around with my dog for nearly an hour a day. I love my dog but we go on the same tracks around the property all the time, so it would be even more monotonous without all the podcast I listen to. Right now she’s a bit puppy-crazy, so training new things isn’t as effective, which could make it more interesting. Plus there’s no heel/agility training I can work on until she literally grows her joints.

I also kayak once or twice a month for a few days. I like it for both the adventure and the people I paddle with, even if it can feel a bit tiring being in a social situation for an extended amount of time. It’s probably my most enjoyed activity quite easily.

I go kayak-camping often, so I’ve got about 12-ish liters of water bottles. My oldest thermos is probably about 3 years though.

Return to monkey.

It’s always the people you most expect.

I wanted to point out that some health plans seem to be offering CBT (computer-based therapy)

Not to be confused with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
