I’ve always had extremely high anxiety and developed panic attacks while abusing marijuana for years in my 20s. 

Now in my early 30s the anxiety and panic attacks have come back with a vengeance. I’ve been out of it for 3 weeks basically unable to do anything with meaning, finally just started Zoloft 3 days ago. 

I’m writing this today to share my personal experience with exercise. I’ve always been into biking (road gravel and mtb) and I believe that’s helped with anxiety greatly. 

Today while I’m waiting and praying this medicine and soon to start therapy returns me to some sense of normalcy I forced myself on a 25 minute bike ride just around my neighborhood. I’ve ridden 9 hours a day and been on bike packing trips but when you’re really in a bad spot, 25 minutes of exercise can be life changing. 

It won’t stop your anxiety today and it won’t solve the problem BUT it will definitely provide relief even just for the 25 minutes you’re active. 

Start with 25 minutes a day of pure relief and grab every minute more you can until you feel better. 

That’s what I’ll be doing. 

Awesome group glad I found it I’ll be here with help and problems along the way !
