Torre DeRoche, 37, had always lived in dread, fearing everything from random sinkholes to global catastrophe.
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 — just months after she published a memoir of the couple’s happy relationship.
The devastating experiences only deepened her anxiety.

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.
After five miles, she got really anxious about her aching feet.
“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?
Well if she is 12, then I’d say she’s already experienced brutality at losing her Father at such a young age.
Pretty snarky comment for no reason imho
“And those who have deep faith in God, worry less..”
I don’t know about that. I think of myself as having deep faith but still had to go the medication route. Sometimes the anxiety was intense enough that getting through a single prayer of The Rosary was very difficult. Unbalanced neurochemistry can be a cross to bear like so many other things.
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.
Makes me wonder about how many times the bible mentions anxiety and baseless worry. ...the be anxious for nothing etc. passage. and do not worry about tomorrow...
Anxiety has always been a part of a certain percentage of peoples daily lives....to the point of being comparable to chronic pain. Seriously.
Evidently many people here dont have that problem. I’ve had it all my life. Just about all alcoholics have anxiety issues....because the booze numbs the anxiety....for a while. I had to get meds too. just to be able to focus at work etc.
Maybe.
I would point out that worriers are planners and Jesus told us to plan things out.
I worry quite a bit about things but at the same time it makes me carefully consider Plan A, B, C, D.
It is when worry becomes fear that stops you from doing anything you have a problem.
I walk about 10-15km per night, so that puts me at roughly 5,592 miles over the last 2.5+ years I’ve been walking home from work. I never realized it adds up so fast. Pretty cool. And all that time I get to listen to my conservative podcasts and old time radio and heavy metal, as well as take photographs and drink beers, to keep me entertained. Doing long walks is really awesome. I can’t stand running or biking, but I could do 50km if I was determined. 20km is nothing. Walking is probably just fine for a healthy exercise too. I can’t stand to see those schlubs on the treadmills in the gyms I walk by - I want to scream at them to get the heck outside and enjoy the nature.
Chronic anxiety is about more than too much free time
It’s so rare for women to be fearful and anxious......

I mean really
Outside of Hollywood fantasy women are plain worrisome about shite exponentially more than men
He called to check up on me the other day to see how I was doing. “You were right doc - I've done almost 200 miles and feel great - and NO stress. I'm in Des Moines already!”
Hat tip to Bob Hope or similar.
>> Too. Much. Free. Time.
Who? You, me, Nick, or Torre?
She walked a couple hundred miles in Italy and later in India. Now she lives in Australia. I, too, wonder who is paying for it all.
Jeez, where the hell did a 37 year old find the time to walk that far?
Walking down the street with an open beer will get you a ride in our town. From the cops.
