Keep in mind that my office is directly across the street from my gym, and I never go there. It’s as if the doors are made of fire. But if this were in my office, how could I resist?

Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
Liz, I was going to make a comment about walking, workplace working and chewing gum at the same time but instead will just tell you to get your lazy ass over to the gym across the street that you’re already paying for. Creative people can always find creative solutions to avoid anything they really don’t want to do. Which reminds me I really need to get on my exercise bike tonight in the worst way. Wish me luck, Dave
When in need to kill time at a local library I do what any self respecting mental patient does in such circumstances – I pace the floors in the empty gallery. I go round and around and around….
Within tweinty minutes legs start to get worn out and I have to sit down to rest for five minutes.
How long can someone work on that thing before they are to worn out to do anything else?
Everyone is missing the point. You are right. the doors at your gym actually are on fire. Most modern gyms have fire doors. Where do you think the term “feel the burn” comes from?
