My Lonely Lunch Time Walk

braindamag3 July 16th, 2025

Lately the super hot weather and poor air quality has really put a damper on my depression and loneliness.
When I can not walk out doors, I am at least fortunate to be able to walk around in an empty warehouse. I walk up and down the aisles until my sport tracker tells me that I have walked 3 miles, then I know it's time to back to my office.

Music in my ears and off I go, but somedays my mind races about stuff I can't control and I just end up dragging my self further down in the dumps.

@braindamag3 Holy cow that's a huge place! Good job getting in 3 miles, that's amazing! Omgosh it's been so hot and humid out lately where I live too. I hate having to go out because it's so hard to breathe. 

What music do you like to listen to? This happens to me a lot lately too. My thoughts just pull me down further and further. 
Does it help to journal the thoughts? For myself, sometimes it helps if I write out the things that are weighing on my mind. At least for a little while

Sometimes it helps others no.

@braindamag3 That's one of the small ones?! Omg how big is one of the big ones? The size is just omg! 

Yeah I hear you there. Sometimes nothing helps. Hey you're trying though, that says a lot! 

Nice music! Pink Floyd is amazing. You have great taste in music! The only ones I don't think I heard is King Crimson and Melanie. I'll have to check them out
Ahh Look Echo Lake is nice! Listening to the birds and the instrumentals added in. Very peaceful and relaxing. 
Hey nothing is too off the wall if it helps ya know?
