I attend an outpatient yoga class at the hospital each week. Some weeks its hard to get there at the best of times. I find it hard to do anything physical in public.

Fifteen minutes into yoga a group of construction workers came into the gym. My anxiety immediately rose to near breaking point as I was convinced they were watching us all (doing downward dog no less). They probably weren't but at the time that's all I could think about. Anyway, I nearly had an axniety attack; quick breathing, heart pounding, shaking uncontrollably. I had to run out of there as fast as I could.

It bothers me I feel this way. Mind you I was feeling pretty fragile before I went today, but I shouldn't allow things to bother me so much. I shouldn't take things so personally. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I shouldn't freaking be bothered so much by what people might think. Arrrrrrgh!
