So every day I would go running, or do an equivalent type of cardiovascular exercise. When I became ill I had been drinking and smoking heavily, but now I was trying to undo that damage. And getting fit is pretty much good for everything. And so I convinced myself that through training my body I was also training my mind. But that effort and discomfort was a great focuser. I was never exactly the fittest person in the world, so running was quite difficult. Also, it gave me something to think about. So while I was running I wouldn’t be worried about my racing heart because it had a reason to be racing. The thing I liked about it was that many of the physical symptoms of panic – the racing heart, the problematic breathing, the sweating – are matched by running.
When I started running I was still getting very bad panic attacks. Running RUNNING IS A commonly cited alleviator of depression and anxiety.
