I am a new member struggling with sadness, depression and obesity. I am the only one in my immediate circle that are open with these issues and seeking change. I want to change and I need people that understand me and motivate me. sigh.
Hello ,
i share all your descriptions . I have struggling w depression for the last 4 years . With different intensity.
currently, i have been hit back hard again. No support system. Or very very small and gar away. No job. No gf. No friend. It is sadness and pain and every hour is a real struggle . I’m from Ethiopia. People r not open about such mental issues.
Do you know an app called InsightTimer ? Try to download and check it. It has supported me a bit
It's a very unfortunate circumstance to be in where your social circle isn't encouraging of positive change and sacrifice. There's obviously many different philosophies on diet and exercise. There's hardcore, high intensity guys like David Goggins. They're inspiring and motivational, but almost impossible to compare to.
In my opinion, the slow and steady is the best way to go. Gradually restrict your portions/food choices and take "baby steps" when it comes to exercise. Do exercisea you know you can accomplish and then try to do more/better the next day. Keep moving the bar up.
There's a great YouTube channel called Hybrid Calisthenics that I think you would enjoy. All of his videos have to with personal development and advice. Unfortunately when it comes to finding encouragement and motivation, we have to look within ourselves most of the time. I have faith that you can do it though! Have a beautiful day my friend.
Best wishes, Cain
