Keep walking.
Too. Much. Free. Time.
(Makes you insane)
Exercise is our best medicine. And those who have deep faith in God, worry less..
“I was in a crisis and looking for something to believe in — hoping for some kind of serendipity to pull me out of it,” DeRoche tells The Post.” So what! I have walked 6,000 miles the past few years without anxiety. Get a life snowflake—you are nothing special.
“Then a series of terrible things actually did happen: DeRoche’s father died of metastasized colon cancer in 2014, and her longtime boyfriend broke up with her at the height of her grief ———”
This author must be 12 years old.
If she thinks that those 2 things are a “series of terrible things” she has a lot of surprises in store.
Live can be brutal.

What is the point of this? Some woman had anxieties.
Why do we care?
The one thing she doesn’t seems to worry about is money, which is what everyone else reading this article would be worrying about if they were wandering around for months with no job. So I am guessing here, but it seems like she really doesn’t have anything to worry about at all.
Jeez, where the hell did a 37 year old find the time to walk that far?
Keep walking.
“Torre DeRoche, 37, had always lived in dread...and her longtime boyfriend broke up with her.”
Probably would have been better off having a family than shacking up as someone’s cow.
She needs Jesus and doesn’t realize it.
A 30 minute walk 5 days a week should do the trick for anyone....
Not too long back, I read an article about a woman who did this by herself, but on a bike. I find stories like this fascinating and appealing, tbh.
I'm not sure why all the hate on the thread for the woman. Jealousy? She was suffering from some anxiety for whatever reason. It sounds like a good portion of her life. Plenty of people do, me included. For some people it can't be readily explained. For some, it may have roots in deeper issues. And for others it might be chemical.
And I don't care how she financially afforded it or not. It was something healthy that she did that seemed to work for her. Not drugs. Not alcohol. And she wasn't hurting anyone. I'm happy for her.
Here's the story about the bicyclist from 2016:
Juliana Buhring: ‘How cycling round the world saved me’

Also there was this post from a thread I posted in 2012...

Then there was Fred A. Birchmore who in 1928 or so left South Carolina hitchhiking on a freighter bound for Europe with his trusty one-speed bicycle he named Bucephalus. While peddling around Europe, he stopped off in Switzerland at the small town of Zermatt. Admiring the local scenery, he decided to do a but of mountain climbing. When he reached the top of the mountain he chose, he found a watch at the top. Figuring someone had lost it, he climbed down and went to a local gasthaus where he inquired after the owner. The tavern keeper was familiar with the owner and refused to believe how he had come-by the watch, since the owner was the first person ever to climb - with all the latest climbing tech and guides - the Matterhorn. Fred A. Birchmore climbed the mountain with only his bare hands ... The rest of his adventures on his 25,000 mile bike ride are recounted in “Around the World on a Bicycle With Camera Snapshots” by Author by Fred A. Birchmore 1939. Unfortunately the only copy on Amazon goes for $150. Perhaps someone will find a copy in a local library as I did. Here’s my review on Amazon: This book should be required reading for all mountain bike owners and those who like to climb. Here is a man who road his one-speed bike 25,000 miles, peddled up the Himalayas with only ONE peddle, was the second person to climb the Matterhorn and the first to do so bare handed. He went around the world on his bike, hitching a ride home on a freighter from Indochina to California and peddled the rest of the way back to his home on the East Coast. After peddling up the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains were not a challenge and the Appalachians just bumps in the road home. An amazing adventure by an unassuming man, who thought that what he was doing was just “ordinary”. Where this book reprinted I would buy it in a heart beat. Perhaps some local library will have a copy.
