Hi, I’m a guy in Japan. I’m a freelance writer, and I’ve spent a lot of my life around training and discipline (including martial arts). From the outside I might look “put together,” but I’ve been struggling with binge eating disorder, body-image issues, and using exercise in a compulsive way—especially when stress builds up.

I don’t speak English well, so I’m using ChatGPT to help me communicate here. If my messages sound a bit formal or slow, that’s why. I’m trying to move away from all-or-nothing thinking and build steadier, kinder routines. I’m here for honest, practical peer support, and I’d especially like to connect with other men since this can feel isolating. If any of this sounds familiar, feel free to reach out.
