Can't lose weight
Eating Disorder Support / by sunnyStrawberries4807
Last post
 July 9th
...See more I was skinny a year ago because of a strict diet, but last winter, I gained weight because of the cold weather. Now, we are in summer, and I can't lose weight again. I was avoiding fats and carbs completely for 6 days a week so I was skinny and fainting a lot. Now, I ate fats and carbs every day but with limits as it is healthier, but I gained weight then. I tried to limit my calorie intake three months ago and I didn't lose weight until I made it very strict for a week, but I got back to eating a lot again the next week. There is a specific limit in which when I follow, I lose weight, but I fail to follow it because I take anyipsychotics that make me have high appetite and low calorie burn rate. I did some changes today in my plan. I decided to reduce the calories of the day after the day I mess in eating, and adjust my workout burn count, and keep walking every day. I hope I come after a few weeks talking about how I succeeded.

Cyclothymia struggles

...See more I have been struggling with the sudden mood deprivations and anhedonia. It feels annoying just to feel depressed all of a sudden and struggle to get back on track with your amusing activities. I'm working on therapy for this recently and I hope things get better, but I just needed to say how it is really chaotic to experience this.

Today's achievements :)

...See more It may seem like my daily's gratitude journaling list but I loved to share it with you :) Today, I was steuggling with being busy with useful activities. I have cyclothymia so I suddenly get depressed or anhedonic. I worked on my self therapy as I'm a therapist and added good techniques and I'm applying them. I also learned new music annotations as I started teaching music to kids :) I also worked on my second book publishing and worked on my social media content. I continued writing in my new story and spent some time with my mum. I listened to music while having a walk twice today, and watched some useful videos. I feel happy sharing them and though my struggle with sudden mood deprivation is terrifying, I'm glad that I'm still warrioring. And, I'm also exploring and working on some filmmaking and theatre stuff so I'm happy that I'm learning new things :) I hope you all are having a great day and feel grateful for what you have :)

...See more I am facing hard things this period in my life, but I am glad that I am focusing on the positive things and growing them. My debut novella that I am extremely proud of will be in stores in a few weeks. I hope they sell haha! And my second novella is in the process of writing and editing. Also, the musical play that I joined as a guitarist will start to show on stage in a few weeks as well. I love them so much especially the novella and I hope I can enjoy and celebrate the positive updates as I can :)

Mania emotional outbursts
Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support / by sunnyStrawberries4807

 March 28th
...See more Hello, I'm working on some stuff and I started to feel a desire to overwork. I know this happens when I'm not emotionally stable or feel safe or loved so I am working on balancing my emotions and giving love and care to myself even through writing or talking to myself and expressing how much I care about me. I achieved great goals because of this overwork but I think I forgot to celebrate and appreciate the stage I'm in instead of overworking again, especially because it is turning me into a mental issue. Thanks for reading!

My current goal
Motivation & Accountability / by sunnyStrawberries4807
Last post
 March 13th
...See more Hello :) I am currently working on publishing my book online which is inspired by my mental illness. In fact I was working a lot to make the story available for the audience once as a movie and another as music, so I have a lot of materials unseen. I remember how I worked for months to be totally 3 years now. I had a break for around 8 months but actually it was out of tiredness and somewhat of hopelessness, but recently my couragement returned again. I found out that I feel joy when I work on this project so I am going on with it. I don't care a lot about the outcome but the value I feel and gain when I take steps and this means a lot for me now :) Thanks for reading! Wishing for you all great motivation!

My morals
Self-Esteem / by sunnyStrawberries4807
Last post
 March 16th
...See more Hello, I had a depressive episode suddenly yesterday. I tried to find out the reasons but I could notice that it increased when I sent a foreign reel to my music band members suggesting doing the same in the reel but one of them said it may not align with our culture. I felt that I'm immature after that. I also started to feel that my morals are not good, you know a kind of exaggerative thinking manner. I started to remind myself that this feeling of low self esteem is because of depression and it's untrue. I pushed myself forward to do behavioral activation and the result is that I woke up remembering many achievements I did yesterday and remembered the times I helped my friends and strangers which means I have good morals, and also that I have a mental illness so I shouldn't be sad for being unable to be mature more. Thanks for reading and I hope it helps you throughout the day :)
