How are you feeling?

A bit paranoid. The voices of my critics and nay-sayers were quiet last week, but they are louder this weekend with too much time to think. I can't get over the spitefullness one person has shown towards me. This person should not define who I am, but mud sticks, and the misrepresentation I fear will continue.

Pressured and anxious because I feel like I have SO many things I need to do in a limited amount of time. I guess this is a normal feeling for most SP/SA sufferers though.
I just have to tell myself it's not the end of the world...

I feel like I've been climbing a huge mountain since years, and I was almost there, just a few meters left, then the rock started to crumble, and I slipped and fell all the way down. Now I'm tired and I look up and I realize there is many other mountains to climb, and there is no way to know if you're climbing the good one until you get to the top. There is no way to know if there is a good one. Now I have the choice to either sit there with my hands in my face until I die or climb another one.

I was climbing a mountain too. At least, I thought it was a mountain. It turned out to be just a very big sand dune, and the surface repeatedly crumbled beneath my feet, until I finally realised that climbing a sand dune is a waste of time, and allowed myself to slide back down to the base.

I'm climbing another mountatin now, one which feels a lot sturdier underfoot. But you're right - you never know for sure if it's a good mountain until you reach the top. But the thing is, all mountains are different, and the thrill is in the experience of the climb. You learn something on every climb which - if this climb isn't a success - helps you climb the next one a little better.

Nervous. I'm throwing discus outside for the first time today and if I completely screw it up I'll probably get cut. Haven't thrown outside of drills for three months, so I have zero confidence right now.
