Hey guys so I’ve got adhd (pretty much just the procrastination part) and anxiety (anxious about anything that’s not outdoor adventure) I’ve got plenty of friends and I’m always kayaking, camping, climbing, doing photography, or anything else related to the outdoors. 

My anxiety stems from “real world” things like having a job, properly connecting with people when adventure/exploration isn’t in the equation (like just meeting up at a coffee shop makes me a little stiff - why aren’t we taking a walk in nature instead?) and family problems. I guess it’s whenever there’s not nature around as a buffer for me to appreciate I have a hard time expressing myself. 

Well I was trying to journal today and found myself super anxious, not able to focus. Trying to plan my year, trying to start new habits like structuring my day and setting timers, and I had a really hard time actually getting started rather than listing just what I needed to do. 

I grabbed my headphones and put them on with no music. Now I kind of feel like I have control over how I interact with the world. It’s like I can turn it on or off and I don’t feel as vulnerable. Anyone else feel this way or should I wear a helmet? Lol
