Need to lose 50lb's
Healthy Living / by PreciousReflection

...See more I need to lose about 50 pounds to reach my ideal weight. In the past I've tried working with a nutritionist. At one point I lost 30 pounds but gained it all back from ordering takeout. I am somewhat discouraged. Not sure what to try next. My friend says the Keto diet worked for him. Maybe I should start weighing myself every day? Or I've heard some good things about Noom, although it is kind of expensive. What has worked for other people? I really do want to lose the weight, but not too excited about the prospect of counting calories. I think it is possible to lose 50 pounds, but perhaps a very hard challenge. Thanks for reading.
Scared to sink back into depression
Depression Support / by PreciousReflection

...See more I have been battling depression for years and have tried several different antidepressants and therapists. I am also a frequent user of 7 cups reaching out to listeners and also a listener myself. I have been on one medication for many years now and kind of stabilized myself but recently I have sunk back into depression. Not sure if it's seasonal or just laziness or what but for a week or so I had trouble getting out of bed and just wanted to sleep all day long. Of course, this got me very depressed, not wanting to do anything and feeling terrible about my life. Now thankfully I am able to get out of bed in the morning and this is always the first major step that makes the most difference for me. Gradually I am able to incorporate healthy habits and routines into my day again. But frankly I am scared of slipping back into depression. It seems such a fine line and I know one morning of just not wanting to get out of bed can lead to a week or more of depression. But I continue to cultivate my positive habits like reaching out to people and friends, studying, exercising, trying to eat better, just showing up, meditating, etc. Can anyone relate? How have you avoided slipping back into depression? Should I try to find yet another therapist or try another med god forbid? Thanks for reading and good luck!

...See more Anyone else interested in magic? Care to chat about it or play a virtual game in magic arena? Please share your experience with Magic the gathering. I was introduced to this game as a kid then later in life played it with a shared collection of cards in a communal house. Now more recently I have bought a few starter deck kits with friends and play and learn with them. I want to get into limited events at a game store and also eventually commander. My favorite cards that I have are probably thundering raiju, hullbreaker horror, aragorn and arwen wed, and sauron the lidless. I hope there are some others also interested in magic, would love to chat and share experiences and even play a game or two. Thanks for reading.
Afternoon blues

...See more I seem to have a habit of getting quite tired and somewhat depressed during the long hours of the afternoon. It tends to be a struggle just to stay awake. The thing is my sleep at night has been excellent, so I think this tiredness has more to do with depression. Anyone have any ideas of how I can lift myself out of the afternoon blues? Thanks for your consideration, -Reflection
Dating

...See more I am supposed to go on a date this evening and have some anxiety about this. What if she doesn't like me? What if I don't like her? How can I avoid awkward pauses in conversation? Do I try to kiss her on the first date? It all increases my anxiety level since I have not dated in a very long time. Does anyone have any suggestions or could share ways that you got through situations like this? Thanks, -Reflection
