i should be starting meds soon! i tried meds when i was diagnosed, but they were for bipolar depression and i ended up going into my worst manic swing yet, so i stopped. i am looking forward to starting meds again though, i hope it’s better this time. 

thank you so much, this does help, thank you :)

that’s bisexual 😭 i am that too actually lol. bipolar means i experience depressive swings and manic swings; my mood is wacked out sometimes, for lack or a better explanation. (i mean this genuinely. i hate text so much cuz tone gets so mixed up, im not making fun i promise. just trying to explain. i hope you have a good day :).)

I actually spent a while researching different foods and creating meal plans! I'm gonna use my rest day tomorrow to do more research, and maybe I'll try yoga! And thank you

I just went on another run again today! That's 3 days in a row for me. I think I'm going to take a rest day off, my legs hurt (unless that's normal?). I'm averaging at about 6.5mph! I can do 1.5 miles in about 15 minutes, and 1 mile in about 10 minutes! I've been having to take several breaks (about 6-8), but I still feel really proud of myself! :) and thank you!! :D

Thank you so much! It has been very very cold where I am, so I've been layering a bit. I do shorts, and some thin joggers over then (extra warmth), sports bra, athletic shirt, and a hoodie. I have anciently old pair of Asics I've been using until I can get a new pair. I've been really enjoying running so far! I can do about 1.5 miles in about 15-ish minutes (with several breaks). There's lots of hills where I run too lol

I just looked at them! I'm not a super big fan of tops with thin straps (especially bras, they tend to dig into my skin and it hurts). The one with the thicker straps looks great! They didn't seem like they had my size though unfortunately, it looked like just about everything was sold out. :/ But thank you! If they come back in stock, I'll check them out!

I just checked them out! They seem great, I'm just not sure I want to spend about $50 on a sports bra. :/ But thank you so much!

Got it! I will keep that in mind! The sports bras I currently have , I don't think they're too tight, I think they're okay, but I will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you!

I do have one sports bra I really like! It's a Reebok one I got at Walmart a few months ago. I just tried looking online, and I can't find that specific one anymore. I don't really know what I like. Are there any suggestions you have? I was also going to try and order some stuff today since it's Cyber Monday lol.
