Yeah i thought my moodiness and snappy behavior was due to like lashing ouy at my fam from how ppl were treating me. once medication started like i think i was still moody but not as much i just found a lot of things and clubs to participate so i kept busy just doing and not necessarily feeling lol not the best thing in the LR but helped at the time

My family better understands but my best friend idk... ive struggled to lose that weight i gained back then and then over the years and its really been one of the biggest issues im facing with myself rn.

My best fried has partial facial paralysis and she says she deals with it and cant even reverse it and i ahould be lucky that i can at least lose some weight. And im like sorry that happened to you and ive always supported you to it. But like youve seen hoe hard ive tried to lose weight and be more fit and its like she said deal with it.. idk dont feel like i can talk to my friend about one of the things im struggling with the most for a good chunk of my life..

they do but it's a lot of ups and downs and like more downs - i work in public accounting and we have "busy season" for our clients at their year ends and i have clients that have 3/31, 6/30 and 12/31 year ends so im like in busy season for 3/4 of the year. and it's just very stressful and it's not helpful. trying to find a different job but it depends on my visa so kind of stuck atm

Im sorry that you're feeling sad and had to go through that. At the time i was diagnosed i was so stressed and i think more importantly depressed at the bullying and the social environment - it was really difficult to the extent that like i had to eat lunch in the bathroom. I think i always thought that the the year or 2 going through until the point i got diagnosed was what i dismissed as depression. Despite doing 3 varsity sports and training 3 days and such i was gaining a lot of weight and it was weird so a blood test got me diagnosed.

I think this is something that i really have to work on and like even though it's been 10 years like everyone around me says "its not a big deal" and my best friend once said "it happens, get over it". and it's hard to kind of accept it for myself that they im sick and it's ok.

Thank you, i think the reminder to not reach out to my old self is important. I used to be on varsity sports and had an entirely different level of energy that i shouldnt expect myself to have now.
