And I'm like, is this what I'm supposed to be doing though? So then that got to a point where, I went straight into my coach and was like, hey, I don't want to do this anymore. That was the third time. He luckily, I appreciate what he did. He was like, I want you to shift your perspective. I don't want you to look at this I was waiting for the beeping.

I don't want you to look at this as, ah, you have to be here. Just go out. Hang out with the guys. Do your thing. Stop putting pressure on yourself. Stop putting pressure on yourself. And that lightened it up for a while. It really did. And kind of like, almost like an internal anxiety that we all put on ourselves of like, I have to be here. I have to do this. oh, I got to wake up at 6 a.m.

tomorrow rather than just being like, you know what? It's happening. Let's accept this rather than fight it in that internal fight. That internal fight is where anxiety is painful because in your head, you're basically living through it multiple times and you're forcing yourself to feel the anxiety that's happening in real life. But if you just take a second, this helps me a lot with anxiety.

I take a step back. I go, I have anxiety right now. And I'm feeling it. And I allow myself to feel this anxiety and my body almost like releases the tension and I kind of relax into it. And yes, there's still anxiety, but it's like, it's like when you're in the ice bath and you're, Oh fuck. Oh my God, I'm dying. This is killing me. And then you're like, you know what? Oh,

I also want to say, and I don't think a lot of people know this about me. which I'm totally fine being open about. But I'm on an antidepressant since I was 15. I experienced a ton of anxiety when I was like 15. I had no idea how to handle it. So I kind of like acted out in anger because I just didn't know what this feeling was. And it was just straight up anxiety.

And it came a lot from the pressure of sports. And I only scored two goals today. I performed better last week. What do I do? I just dropped the ball. Everyone's looking at me. The coaches are mad, whatever it might be. And I went on to Zoloft, my like 50 milligrams for literally nine years. Pretty crazy.
