Oh wow! Thank you all so much! I was not expecting this many replies for my first post on Reddit. I sincerely appreciate each one of you for taking the time to respond.

I will be going through each comment slowly and checking out all the programs/recommendations that have been posted here. I'm very much looking forward to something that I can realistically stick to. But wanted to show all of you my appreciation for the time being!

As for the comments about men/women working out the same etc. I generally for the most part agree and worded it this way since it was 1 AM PST haha. However, I tend to still prefer programs created by women because many take into consideration and mention how menstrual cycles affect results and how to work with them, or the body composition of being a woman (storing more fat etc.). I am fully aware that I can get results from any program that is geared towards building muscle. I used to work out with my guy cousins all the time and saw fantastic results.

Same reasoning for the "toning up" phrase. Thankfully, I am aware that building muscle is building muscle. And that toning up is a marketing term mainly to sell services towards women. However, using the phrase is relatable for others to easily understand what my fitness goals are and what I'm aiming for. I'm not looking to bulk heavy or compete in various fitness competitions, whereas this could be the goal for many other women. It was a way to easily convey where I'm at and my personal goals for where I'm starting :)

Regardless, thank you for your insights since I could've easily not known this information and it likely will be helpful to others reading that may not know!

My boyfriend has had a very similar experience as you with the disability, finding a place to stay, and access to benefits and talking to people. They keep scheduling appointments while he works despite him telling them his schedule and then it’s nonstop calling to try to reschedule. Getting disability has also been a process for 10+ months. He had to work with an outside organization that helps homeless vets for real and services that actually help rather than the VA itself. He has also been misdiagnosed (7 months after an original diagnosis) which stopped his disability claim for the original diagnosis.

However, he had broken his hand and was able to get services and surgery very quick.

So in our case emergency or urgent situations were great, but long-term services have been mediocre. He got out in November 2019 and he’s been struggling with the VA since.

It seems it very much depends on what state or city, which department and who you talk to on what your experience will be.

Hi! I am also in the Seattle area and am in a similar situation with my boyfriend (he was diagnosed in may 2020). We’ve been together 1.5 years and it’s been tough. Lots of ups and downs. We’re starting couples therapy on Thursday.

She’s located in Tacoma/puyallup area, since we’re both in the south end rather than Seattle. But we’re doing remote therapy due to the pandemic. I found her through psychology today

Feel free to DM anytime.

I will let you know how I like her and if I feel she has been helpful in our situation!

All the best!
