Possible trigger:
Isn't mental illness a blast?

I hope to get back to power walking tomorrow and maybe at least using some of the weights at the park. I am having super high anxiety and/or manicky symptoms, and I hope the exercise can help it.
I do not mean to minimize your pain by making a comparison with a pet but back when I had a hamster, I was afraid each weekly cage cleaning that I would find him dead. He ended up living the outer limit of his species's life expectancy but one evening my fear materialized and I found him dead. Even now, almost 15 years later, I feel that internal dread simply writing about that fear
