forgetting whether you've taken your caffeine pills on schedule and taking another one anyways but being anxious for the rest of the day that you've taken too much and won't sleep well tonight

Anyone else dealing with post-athletic depression?

I was an athlete throughout child/teen/early adulthood, into my mid-20s. Then a series of physical and mental health challenges really forced me to step back from exercising at the level I used to. When COVID followed, I stopped being what I would describe as an "active" person.

Now, I'm 31, and getting back into exercise. But there's this looming shadow of my former self/body that seems to undermine any attempts to regain a sense of athleticism. I'm constantly reminded of strength, energy or stamina that I took for granted for most of my life. At my (admittedly still youngish) age it's hard for me not to think a lot of that is permanently lost. If I exercise (or not) and feel fatigued or weak, I get really down on myself, thinking I didn't earn it.

To be fair, I still *do* stuff. Yoga, walks, playing softball with friends, hiking. I even taught some younger friends how to weightlift so they could be more confident at the gym. That felt nice. However, I am struggling with holding myself to a former standard.

Any advice or parallels from y'all?
