Well more than a bit. No need for details though and will be mentioned at the doc's next time I go see him. In the meantime, do any of you guys have any regular things you do to chill put? Of course the internet has a wealth of info and programmes, many asking for money, which I don't have!

HermanBloom Mar 2016 12:17pm, 1 Mar 2016 4,981 posts	Quote Pin HermanBloom Haha, that is very true. Kinda find it hilarious that I am stressed, but when I add up the things going on I guess I shouldn't be surprised. And yes the non-running certainly doesn't help. Thankfully been cleared for some light exercise bike stuff for now, so that is at least something. Three votes for Headspace does make it sound good.
