I'm terrified too.
I agree ...I'm so sorry. I'm terrified too.<br /><br />I agree that riding is an escape; when I ride, I can't think about anything else at all. It helps. My problem is that sometimes I get so tired and discouraged I convince myself that going home and holing up under blankets with a book is the best way to help, and it's not. Riding always helps, and I need to force myself through my exhaustion and depression and get to it.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-6508623172277895952017-01-30T12:55:51.331-08:002017-01-30T12:55:51.331-08:00I'm the same way!

If you aren't afraid, then I don't know how to explain to you why I am afraid." This is extremely powerful. I'm afraid for you, and for countless others. Know that I am thinking of you and I fully agree with T.

I decided that when I get to a point where I feel like I need to do something instead of getting back on social media I'll donate some money, volunteer, or find that I can actually do something rather than just following it on social media. That's been the only way I can keep myself sane.Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-7619942141372808332017-01-29T13:51:40.617-08:002017-01-29T13:51:40.617-08:00This post made me cry.

It's frustrating because it is still dark when I get out of work on most days, so riding is limited to my days off and it's still touch and go with the oodles of wet weather we've had this winter. So I wear myself out at the gym and then knock myself out with melatonin and wine, and then wake up the next day and do it all over again.<br /><br />I flip-flop from towering heights of hope and joy, to fall into the deepest pits of utmost despair and terror at the drop of a hat. It's really hard to have competitive goals of any kind when you're not sure what's going to happen tomorrow, if you'll still have a life next month or if you'll be locked up in a cage somewhere.
