For a while in lockdown I started having constant anxiety. Getting nervous as fuck, feelings of impending doom, couldn't bring myself to get out of bed in the morning, couldn't sleep at night, sometimes worrying myself the point of shivering convulsions and heaving. At one point I could barely stand up because of the tremors.
Did I go to the doctor? Did I seek a shrink?
No. When one wave of anxiety passed, I got on my bike and rode it until I was exhausted. Physically beaten, I stayed home and I painted. And then I did it again a few days later when my body stopped aching. And I ached for less time each time I did it. I worried a little less each day.
My anxiety went from debilitating to non-existant in a month. No doctor, no shrink, no pills.
If this was Reddit I would give you a badge for some such thing as Comment of the Day - but it's not so just know you're right - that's enough for men

Literally just go outside and exercise.
What did you paint?
3D prints of fat tittied goblins.
