On Friday, I faced one of my fears: skating.

It wasn’t my first time – I quite liked it when I was a child.
But somewhere along the way, when anxiety and overthinking became part of my life, skating turned into a real fear.
My anxiety took over, and I couldn’t stop imagining dark scenarios of what might happen if I went back on the ice.

So I kept avoiding it, even though I genuinely wanted to try again.

And you know what? On Friday the 26th, I did. And it was amazing.
I never would’ve imagined having so much fun.

Even when my feet started to hurt at one point, I kept going. I just took a break, threw on a jacket, and went back onto the ice rink.
Didn’t fall once – although it was pretty close a few times, haha.

I’m insanely proud of myself. Not because I didn’t fall, but because I tried skating again… and I actually enjoyed it.
I think my ADHD energy finally outpowered the anxiety and gave me the right amount of stimulation 🙂

Now it’s your turn to face your fear ♡
