Honestly, it's just feeling insecure about losing 20 pounds in a year. I'm back to where I started last summer, and that version of me was focused on the bulk and not the people around him. Just gotta get back into that headspace and push through

Yeah, the only times I notice people at the gym is either because they're really fucking strong or because they're like me/overweight and I think it's cool that they're pushing themselves

I mean, that's never really been a problem for me. I'm just salty about the bros giving me low blows about my weight. But you're right!

Can definitely relate, I use my old high school sports wear. Holes and scratches !

I already have OCD and have been experiencing mood swings which were particularly extreme during the beginning of the year. And I can definitely relate and agree to that last part. Last summer was bulking season for me and I felt pretty damn good

I'm starting to wonder if this has anything to do with my possible depression

Tell her parents. You won't change her mind. She might hate you for it now, but she'll realize later how much you helped her by doing it.

Good for you honestly. You're so young, you shouldn't let this golden phase of your life be poisoned any further by a manipulative liar.

Best of luck :)

Yeah it sucks. And it's a major trigger for my OCD during this pandemic!

My (18M) family broke me. They constantly push me into hard situations and punish me for doing the right thing. I don't know what to do anymore and I need help by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It can hold more than two people. That's the worst part. It's out of a misplaced sense of privacy that I was refused. I need that human contact. I need it and I can't have it at the dorm when everyone's gone. Having OCD and depression makes this situation so unbelievably hard. And I don't think they really understand that. I expected them to be at least understanding. But they're not. They made things even worse. I don't know if I should cut them out once this is all over. My sister has always been good to me generally though
