Hiking with clinical depression/anxiety
I suffer from moderate depression and anxiety which I mange with medication. I'm hoping to through hike next year and am wondering if there is anyone else who has clinical depression or anxiety has also through hiked. I'm not asking for medical advice -- I will consult with my doctor before embarking on the journey -- I'd just like to hear other people's stories. While I'd like any input, I posted on the female forum because I'm hoping that there are other young women like myself who I can talk to and get advice from.
Thanks!
Hiking AT YoYo With Depression :
Read the two " Barefoot Sisters " books : " Southbound " and
" Walking Home " . Susan and Lucy . " Jackrabbit " and " Isis ".
They alterate chapters . Jackrabbit has to battle depression as
well as a number of injuries . Yet the two young girls , ( back
around 2000 ) did the whole trail , both - ways , barefoot .
[ Mostly ! Not indeep snow or in Ice Storms ! ]
