...See more So, I had a scoping procedure done and I might have Crohn's. I may find out on monday if I have it. There's a joke in there somewhere right? If you knew my life you might think I should've written a book by now. It seems I keep getting bad news after bad news. Anyway, maybe it's all good and it's not anything like having cancer just because it's an autoimmune disease. I will try to keep my head up, because I for one need to see the good news as soon as it's coming. And secondly, I really HATE being forced to eat at the whim of what may or may not *** off my stomach. I feel so incapable when it comes to food and eating. So I'm hoping I'm just confused right now and my Dr. will come back and diagnose me on monday, and the treatment they talked about will work. Not only work but work significantly. It's very hard knowing I have no energy and that I can't eat 70-80 percent of the things I used to. My college goals depend on getting treated so I can still function in class. Does anyone have a good idea where I can get group talks for people with Crohn's?
My Keys to a Healthy Life
by 1chillalien
Last post
 September 15th
...See more Good morning beautiful humans!  I would like to tell you what I think are the 4 keys to a healthy life. * Do not set expectations. * Practice discipline. * Do things in moderation. * Define things properly. Expectations are a killer of a happy life. We set expectations for ourselves, our bf/gf, parents, jobs, friends, EVERYTHING. When the humans in our life do not meet what we expect of them, we become upset. When we set expectations on outcomes of situations, they will either meet, or not meet expectations. Depending on the severity, we will become upset or happy! Let go of what you cannot control and spend your energy on things you can! You can prepare for that interview, but you cannot control the ones conducting the interview. You can treat your friends with respect and give them all of you, but you cannot force them to do the same. They are not you, and how you choose to live your life is your choice.😌 Discipline is the lifeblood of a healthy existence and probably the hardest for us to achieve. Set goals for yourself and follow them. BUT remember what I said about expectations. 💪 Moderation and Discipline go hand and hand. Once you become disciplined, living a life of moderation becomes easier. YOU can have sweets, just do not eat more than a serving. YOU can watch your favorite shows on Netflix, just do not spend all day doing it. Even too much exercise can be bad for you. Live a balanced lifestyle. Do not overwork, but do not spend all day playing. Work on yourself, but do not forget to invest time into your family and friends. ⚖️ Define things properly. This is probably the most important on the list. We define everything, but how we define it shapes our existence and mental health. If your bf/gf break up with you, how do you define that situation? Do you tell yourself you're not good enough and that no one will ever love you? Do you tell yourself that you will always be alone? How about saying that you gave it your best! Sometimes things just do not work out. I will miss them, but I gave it my best and have a good foundation on things I can work on for next time. If you define the good and bad (especially the bad) of life as learning experiences, then you will not get caught up in the pity party cycles that ruin your mood! That 5 minute moment of discomfort does not have to ruin your day. Its just a bad moment, not a bad day. 💜 I hope this can help you! End the year strong! Strive to be 1% better than you were yesterday!

Victimhood, can we break the pattern?
by SleeplessVet
Last post
 August 4th
...See more Victimhood. I’ve been a member of this site and enjoyed it for several years now.  I’ve learned quite a bit.  I do think I am better off now than when I first got here Christmas Day of 2019.  That said, one of the problems I do have is we are all encouraged to be unconditionally supportive to all members of the site.   There are indeed many people where who have been hurt or victims of situations or people.  There are also some who seem to just be self-absorbed and self-loathing individuals seeking attention and validation of their perceived victimhood.  The trend of the mass media seems to be to convince all of us that we are victims of something.  We should sue someone for compensation.  We have no responsibility for our current situation because we are victims and helpless to improve our lives.  I just have a problem with this blanket thought process.  How many times have we heard a mass murderer has a bad childhood, so it is expected that they would kill or be horrible to others?  Seems like excuses for lack of coping skills or ability to learn from life experiences.  How can we break the pattern or bad habits of people who are being self-defeating and helpless to help themselves?   Some of us would really love to see these people live happy or at least have balanced lives, but telling them they are exactly right doesn’t seem like the correct method.   (Do we tell anorexic people, “Yes.. I agree.. you are fat” ?  ) 
need advice on eating motivation

...See more a few months ago my depression got to a point where i just lost my appetite completely.  i'm also dealing with an unspecified dissociative disorder, and when i have panic attacks i literally cannot feel my body at all, and i'm almost paralyzed.  lately it's been getting worse to the point that i'm constantly numb, i can't feel my body regularly, and when i move a finger or something it just doesn't feel like a part of my body.  today i just made the realization that this constant numbness and disassociation has started contributing to my loss of appetite; when i get hungry, i feel the emptiness, but i'm not actually feeling the pain really, so i'm not as motivated to eat.  and most of the time i either feel kind of sick thinking about getting something to eat, or if i can eat anything it's not a lot.  i'm under 90 lbs at this point, which especially as an older teenager i know is not healthy.  does anyone have any advice?  thank you

...See more Hi there, beautiful people! I'm trying to be more active, but it's always been a huge challenge for me. I spend most of my time at home and don't do physical activities besides chores. Getting up and walking as an exercise is difficult, but I'm trying. I wonder if there are any other recommendations for total beginners to build stamina and endurance? Thank you!
