So, for the past two days, I've been taking a walk with my dog in the afternoon because I'm anxious/depressed. Good right? I'm not sure. I know exercise is good when your depressed/upset, but this feels different. Yesterday, when I was walking because I didn't feel good, I had this strange feeling. I didn't want to go back. I just wanted to keep going. Eventually, I went back inside (I was walking for about 30 mins).

But today, I just kept walking. After 20ish mins, I told myself to go back, but my mind said, No! Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going!
It was weird. My legs started to ach a bit, but I kept going. I wouldn't stop. I felt weird and upset. Finally, after 40mins, my mom called me back to the house for dinner.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it just all my head?

@AlexFox800

I understand where you are coming from. Maybe you associate your home with depression and anxiety because sometimes I do. So maybe you are just trying to "run away" from it. But, its good that you are walking it is very good and refreshing. Hope you figure out whats going on!

@AlexFox800 It happens to me too. Your body falls into a pattern, left, right, left, right, and it takes effort to change it or stop.
