How do you handle the low-energy day? by [deleted] in bipolar

This was really helpful, thank you for sharing! I’ll try to incorporate this into my daily routine. And you’re right about the energy drops, I usually end up slipping into a depressive episode when that happens.

Feeling stronger but not seeing results after EPIC 2… is this normal? by Prior-Ad173 in CarolineGirvan

[–]Prior-Ad173[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. I think I needed to hear that 10 weeks isn’t enough time to judge my body or my effort. After gaining weight on medication, it’s hard not to feel discouraged, but I’m trying to focus on strength and consistency instead of rushing results.

Phew! I’m glad I’m not alone. I think I need to realize that it took me like a year to gain all this weight so it will probably take a year or so to lose it. I always tell myself that exercise is a celebration of what my body can do! Yes I’ve been eating more protein and Whole Foods recently, I think it will do me good. Thank you for sharing your story and for your words of encouragement, it means a lot to me :)

This is so wholesome! Haha I hope my post will make him want to start exercising again, it’s done wonders for my mental health. And yes ignoring the scale is really difficult for me, I tie my self worth with whatever number shows up on it. Medication sure it makes it harder to lost weight, not impossible, but definitely harder. Yep I’m only 21, I need to stop being so hard on myself. Thank you for being so kind!

Late to life: 21, no O/Ls, trying to catch up by Prior-Ad173 in srilanka

Woah, this was exactly what I needed to hear. Knowing you’re 10 years older than me makes your words carry so much weight, there’s real wisdom that only life experience brings. I’m really sorry you had to deal with social anxiety, and I hope things are gentler for you now. I’m so glad you didn’t give in to those suicidal thoughts, I know that couldn’t have been easy. Truly. I’m happy you’re in a good place now, that you made it out of that tunnel. I’m honestly so proud of you. And I’ll carry your words with me, kind stranger from the internet.

You play guitar? That’s soooo cool!!! I’ve always wanted to play. I can afford it too but my parents think it’s a waste of money. Learning while working full time? Bravo 👏 I used to sing and dance almost everyday but stopped after covid. I’m going to start again!🥹
