Basically every major publication on treating all mental illnesses LOL. There's not one single website or book about a mental illness that doesn't recommend walking. Though, my ED brain is slightly intrigued with how much I've been walking, I think the motivation to walk and explore is outweighing the obsessiveness.

Nobody told me how much fun it is to just walk around your area. Today I walked to a park about 30-40 mins away with my sibling. It was a trek to get there, but walking back felt like no sweat. I imagine it's because we were already a lot more familiar with the area than we were when we started and that familiar landscape eased the discomfort of walking to a new place. It was great though despite our aching legs when we got back home. We walked nearly 7 km!

I've been going on walks like that for about two weeks now. At least every other day. It/s been really important to me. My interest in city planning has definitely contributed to this motivation. I really like being (probably) autistic (or at least some flavor of that neurodivergence) for reasons like this. Once I get super passionate about something I never really drop it. Sometimes it even encourages me to really try new things!

In other news, I've finally registered for classes and paid for them. Now all I need to do is get my student ID.
