Swimming

[Guest Mummyto2boys&agirl]

I'm going to be brave and go swimming on Sunday.

I love swimming but I've not been able to go for 2 years due to contamination issues.

I've really missed it I used to go twice a week it's the only exercise I enjoy/doesn't cause me pain and I know exercise will help with my anxiety & ocd so I'm biting the bullet as I've been feeling pretty rubbish lately and something needs to change. I also suspect when I start my cbt they're going to tell me to go anyway?

I am going to be taking one step forward and 10 back though if I have to all but pour bleach on myself before I touch the kids when I get back or am I ok to tackle one thing at a time?

Well done i really hope you make it x

I want to go swimming but like you i havn't been for a few years now due to contamination fears and checking,but i am hoping to start it up again as there isn't much exercise i can do without causing me to much pain either x

Mom, recovery is about small steps. Just going and being in the moment, regardless what you feel you need to do after, is perfectly fine.
