The Cozy Corner

[Stephie02]

The more the stress the longer the run but that lets me work through it exhaust my body to handle it... It works for me

Best part about multi day races is like day 2-3 I don't think about much of anything except what's next

Feel that way about distance biking, not that I go for multiple days, but when I can go it definitely helps clear my head, and hiking, too.

Sooo like you guys don't press it down and smile and act like it's fine? Fascinating
I'm joking...... I'm also kind of not
But it depends on what it is honestly .... And if I'm going to reach out I have to be damn sure the person themselves is not in crisis mode because I'm not doing that to people.

See in real life I do not open up at all.

Oversharing... Prosecco

Abusive childhood then an abusive marriage.

In r/l no-one except my best mate knows anything about the real me. And I don't show or share my emotions.
But here, where it's anonymous I share a lot more and it's kind of cathartic

Yes the distance is sort of individual and how you function .... But absolutely. That visceral engagement with the world kind of helps with the mental/stress side

Yes!! Nothing helps more than miles upon miles on the road on your bike. It’s my happy place…..and the mountains. Both combined and I’m in heaven.

It's just breathing I guess? Don't know how else to describe it. Maybe physically pushing myself helps me realize I can handle the emotional and mental stress, maybe. Don't know but I need it lol

The one amazing thing about endurance sports/activities is that it really does show you just how strong you are. The mental aspect is huge. It’s taken me years to come to terms with that.

Same
For me the closer I am to complete exhaustion the better so I think maybe it's the breathing but also the focus on physical self ....the next mile,.the next stop...hydrate...in your case pedaling the next hill or taking in the sounds of the forest or streams

I actually prefer hiking when I feel like I need to slow down or stop the world, if that makes sense. Biking is for exercise and helps calm me down when I'm angry about stuff, or at someone

Cozy is getting mushy today

I'll give it a minute to breathe before I make a joke or fire off some innuendo

I'm naked.... how's that for charging things up?

Sometimes it is best to draw on the support network here. It is such a phenomenal, caring and accomplished group of people here it becomes an amazing resource.

I completely relate to this. Not so much about the past bad experiences, but about not sharing in real life, but pride myself on being a good listener and great friends, but myself- Much more of a get on with it, nobody else cares attitude. Although I don’t open up much on here.
Actually, I’ve just opened up?
Fucks sake- beer.

Don’t believe you.

I'm for it of course!

Definitely wouldn't use the word mushy

On line therapy is not a bad thing I think.
