Meh, I get all the exercise I need by jumping to conclusions, stretching the truth, running out of patience and lifting my eyebrows. That does me.

Haha! One of your best Trollheart! You forgot "spinning yarns" and "weighing options" but perhaps they are not part of your regular workout.

Where I live, loads of parks have areas like this:-



...but I never use them myself, or see them being used. Partly because it's too hot, but also, as you say, jadis, people "end up feeling stupid" - which is true but strange, given that you are doing something healthy.

Coupled with a bench and a dip station a la:



I am quite happy, you can do quite a lot of things. Beats doing just bodyweight pushups and lunges at home anyway.
This is exactly what I need, thanks very much!

So in addition to putting others at risk due to their selfishness/stubborness/idiocy, they also are happy to endanger lives by wearing large sharp objects on top of their heads? Lends new meaning to the term prickhead, which I just made up and own copyright on, in perpetuity and in all territories, known or unknown, including any new dimensions discovered in the future.

It may just be anxiety/nocebo.

I see very little reason to worry about side effects. For sure, covid is much much more likely to lead to a wealth of health problems.

Don't read vaccine scare propaganda.

I suffered from panic disorder in my teens which I was able to combat relatively quickly once I had an understanding of what was going on. After the panic attacks were gone, I did have some lingering anxiety, mostly focused on health related issues, so I think I know how this feels.

Something that I believe helped me was learning about the philosophy of critical thinking as part of my science background and that really appealed to me. So whatever I thought I was experiencing, I seldom bought into my worst fears. I always tried to battle it with rationality.

In the end, the health anxiety had fizzled out, although that took many years, maybe 15 or so. The amount of years it was a powerful presence in my day to day life was much less. Now I no longer feel like that's part of who I am.
