Sadly, after having a good couple of days my mind decided, it was time to plunge back down again. It is so frustrating. I did manage to progress on things I planned to but not as fast as I want so I will take that as a small victory.
I do feel like I am coping better with these troughs though. Not perfectly but at least managing them. I even managed to keep up my walking schedule. Fitbit, however, has informed me today that I am overtraining. Seems a little shocking to me but it is an indicator of how unfit I am. Best to listen to my body but I will be pushing a little beyond what I think I can do as that is the only way I can progress. After today’s walk though I am feeling the burn so maybe tomorrow I should rest up a bit.
In other news, I have decided to get back into World of Warcraft after quite a long break. I grabbed the new expansion and boosted myself to starting level for the expansion which, weirdly to me, is now level 70. Since Blizzard have squished the levels back down. Some of the changes feel like they are going back in time to the Burning Crusade days whilst others are very alien to me. Overall, it feels comfortable to be back in a familiar game. I am even still in the guild I was in when I logged off as co-guild leader. The people there are such a friendly bunch and really understand what it is to have depression and anxiety. I remember why I loved it there so much and I am not surprised it endured all this time.
I also started playing Death Stranding now that it has made it to Xbox finally. It is a strange but compelling game. I haven’t dug into it much yet but so far, I’m enjoying it.
Time to do what my body (and Fitbit) says and rest up a bit. What better way to do that than playing some games with a fresh brew?
