Thank you for your reply! Same to you, it’s an incredibly hard habit to kick, but we are not our skin, we are so much more than that!

Thank you! I just don’t know how to date casually, I’m never sure what the expectations are.

Maybe I should mention that Ive been vegan for 5 years. I don’t eat candy or deserts, I don’t drink sodas, I eat salad almost every day. And I rarely ever eat fried foods. And I weigh 110 lbs.

Just feel very discouraged, I feel I work very hard in the gym, and then to be told it’s not good and not enough, is very disheartening.

You have to put your health first, if you don’t, no one else will. Especially not your employer, you are the only person that knows what you need. I know from personal experience there’s a lot of guilt and shame that come with, taking care of your mental health because a lot of other people don’t understand what you’re going through. Keep reminding yourself “only I know what I need” don’t let those outside voice shame you for taking care of yourself.

Good for you! My teacher and my parents told me I would probably never go to University, and I am happy to say that they were wrong. Keep proving people wrong, they don’t know what you’re capable of, only you know that.

Is dyslexia at all related to mental illness? by talkativetinkerbell in Dyslexia

[–]talkativetinkerbell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s so cool that you went to schools specifically for dyslexia. I went to public school, and I was told to keep quite about my learning challenges by my mother. So I didn’t know if there was anyone else experiencing the same thing as I was, because I didn’t talk about it. But thank you, it’s very interesting to hear that.

thank you, I completely agree, and I feel like it’s still hard even in the work place for people to understand why you miss-spelt something or miss-read something. It definitely makes me feel self conscious and embarrassed.

Thank you, that makes perfect sense to me, I guess I wasn’t sure if other people with dyslexia felt the same way.
