I have not got out on the bike much. 😔 So my activity has been mostly dog walks. We even had a play date watching a friend's dog. Lots of walkies.

One weekend my partner wanted to try to ride her bike (first time since her accident last year), so I put pup in the #k9sportsack and went to the market.

No more hiding, back on the bike for a good cause. Donate to https://cmha.donordrive.com/participant/4194 and help others like me. #RideDontHideYEG #RideDontHide #yegbike #yegwalk #MentalWellness #MentalHealth

Went for a dog walk at Gold Bar park and looked for rocks as my #RideDontHide activity. I am alright getting caught in the rain, but I would rather not have my bike in the rain.

I ran an errand on my bike today after an intense EMDR appointment. The combination of therapy and a bike ride to reset my nervous system had me feeling lighter.

I mediated today for the first time in a week or more. #cycling was not calling to me. It was a low day for me. My #Depression really drained me.

Actually, I have a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow. It is common for people living with #MentalHealth challenges to experience difficulties the day before appointments. I learned that from my doctor and can verify from my volunteering for @cmhaedmonton Many callers would have scheduled appointments coming up.

This weekend I had to refuel. I did some art and tried to nap on the balcony. As nice as the weather was, I did not feel like riding.

If I am honest, today was a Hide day.

I had a productive week. It was busy, but there was not anything that was too difficult. This is what many of us deal with, mood changes we cannot describe. It could be a trauma from the past my body is reliving. Perhaps it is exhaustion or something at a subconscious level that I do not understand yet.

Here I am though. I pushed through and participated with a shorter ride. I hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves.

Another day in the books for Canadian Mental Health Association. And exercise for me.
