My Running Story

[@AmberTolbert-x9k]

Running has always been my favorite. The payoff after a run, priceless. I love your story.

Thanks for sharing, it is a great story and very inspiring when one is trying to get out of a rough patch in life

I just started watching your videos. I saw one from a year ago and wondered how you are doing now. Your progress is good to see. I want to confirm how beneficial physical activity is to mental well-being. Although my preferred activity is cycling, as an older guy I feel it gave me a totally new outlook on life. My major mistake was combining it with alcohol. I'm now booze-free and cycling more.

Your love for running is like me staying off antipsychotics

[@PalaceMidasMusic]

I found this channel and I've been audio booking Murukami's "what I talk about when I talk about running", I recommend that book to people. But I've a lot of similiarities with these vids. I get night time depersonalisation attacks, where I feel like my life is like a switch and someone is about to turn it off. It's pretty horrendous and bad sleep anxiety, but I'm in recovery from alcohol and to an extent nicotine and it's a process I hope to feel better from eventually. I want to try running again because like you say here, I was never good at any sport except running, though I wasn't encouraged with it I could outpace fitness tests without any training. I was just behind the cross country team who ran on the school team you know? But top of everyone else who maybe played football or things. But when I have these terror attacks I always have an overwhelming need to leave the place I'm in and have to do that before it settles down. Like even if its 5 am in the morning Ill find myself walking round the block. So Im thinking running again or picking it up may help me. Im 34 but Ive no serious injuries or issues with weight so I think I could do it again. I'm just a bit unfit and my pace is less than what it was.

Are you currently on any medications from your psychosis?

[@masonrunning]

Im still taking a small dose of Zoloft. That’s all.

[@bystudy8041]

Still on antipsycotics?

[@masonrunning]

I was never on those. I have been on an antidepressant (low dose).
