Thoughts on PCOS, Trauma, ADHD, and attachment styles
I feel like I'm all over the place with the vast amount of information that is being thrown at me all the time. I'm trying with this post to put it all in one place the different themes I'm seeing pop up for me over and over again and hoping some kind souls want to discuss their thoughts on this. I have PCOS. One of the…

Winter slump
Who else is getting antsy to be out in the nice Spring weather? I get way to lazy and make up way to many excuses in the winter to not exercise or eat right. Trying to get my mind in a good head space again.

A Sleep 😴 aid that works!
As of lately I just couldn’t go straight to sleep. I would toss and turn all night and nothing seemed to put me to sleep. So I starting looking into sleep aids and about a month ago I started taking olly sleep gummies… They have two different options, one is regular and the other is extra strength… I don’t need the extra…

Need some support for a chronic condition
This may be a long shot but… Does anyone know of any online support groups for people with IBS? I got diagnosed last year and I’m having a really hard time lately. My dietician thinks all my symptoms are caused by anxiety/dehydration and my GI doctor is mainly concerned about my very low weight. I’m trying my best to make…

Will my sleeping schedule work?
So, I've been sleeping late (staying up till about 3-6am, it varies but I don't stay up pass 6am) and I have school. I have to wake up at 5am and on these days I sleep roughly at 3amish. I'm going to try and change that tonight, going to sleep at 10-11pmish. I'm going to do it because I've gained some water weight and I…

How to prolong sleep?
I know I need more sleep. I am tired. I usually go to sleep around 11 and then my body wakes me up at 6. Since I have been waking at 6 whether I want to or not, I figured I probably need to go to bed earlier. I went to bed at 10 last night, fell asleep around 10:30 and woke up at… 5:30. Does anyone have any advice for…

Can't Sleep so I get up and eat
The last 2 months I am having a problem. I wake up 3 or 4 times a night. By the 3 or 4th time I am going down to the kitchen and eating something and then I am over my calories. Anyone have a similar problem?

Sleep and Weight Loss
Hi! Has anyone else remember hearing "your body is still working while you sleep" after late night exercising? Well, last night I went vigorous for 30 minutes with a combination of elliptical and stationary bike riding. I got up around 4 am getting my hubby off to work. I weighed myself and the scale showed a loss of 2…

Music Recommendations
Yesterday, I decided that I'm going to listen to music that helps me relax when I'm feeling anxious. I chose some classical music while I took my shower and it was so peaceful. What are some specific artists or songs that you would recommend for a Playlist?

Work from Home impacts
Just curious if anyone has experienced any physical/mental impacts of working from home? I know for me I tend to snack a lot more because no one is around to see me do it. Secondly, it’s harder to turn off my work brain at the end of the day. I feel like I’m constantly on call, especially because everyone I work with has…

Feeling stupid in a sauna
I'm treating my fractured upper arm joint to some sauna sessions after trying to swim and some exercises. This is followed by a very thorough massage. I normally don't do sauna, or just went to one attached to a pool where everyone would sit in their bikini/swimming trunks. In this bath there are 5 saunas spread over a…

Singulair (Montelukast)
I monitor my sleep using a Garmin watch. It's crude, but at least somewhat helpful. Of course, there's also my recollection of the night and how I feel the next day. In January, I had a period of improving sleep. I was really feeling great! But, into for the past several weeks, my sleep went back into the Garmin watch…

How do you stop self-sabotaging?
So I’m really not good at handling stress. And lately I keep getting hit with more and more of it… problems at work, way behind on basic household cleaning stuff, medical issues… my way of dealing with it all, at least lately, is to eat way more than I usually do. Normally I eat about 1400 a day, but yesterday it was…

Trouble sleeping
So, every time I have gone on a weight loss crusade my sleep is TERRIBLE. I go to sleep just fine but in about 2 hours I am awake and have a hard time falling back to sleep. It may take 1-2 hours to fall back to sleep and then within 2 hours I am awake again. It is so frustrating. I have started going to bed at 7 pm just…

Enduring/Overcoming Consistent Obstacles
I'll start out by saying maybe I just need to be told the same things I tell other people, but maybe it just needs to be said to me directly to stick and not just in my own self-talk. :sweat_smile: As many of you know I had a baby last year (my sixth) and I am trying to lose the weight from that pregnancy and then a little…

Two Garmin “excellent” sleep ratings in a row!
This is unprecedented. My most common Garmin sleep rating is “poor.” It feels like a huge accomplishment. I think it is associated with my dry January. Also, I’ve been exercising regularly and cutting sweets. Anyone else monitoring their sleep with their Garmin watch?

Hi everyone I'm Carol and am a 51 year old with high blood pressure for years. Just a few months ago was finally diagnosed with a arythmia (atrial fibrillation, AF, a-fib). I'm still learning my boundaries of what I can and can't do without my my heart dance. Doctor did give me the go for walking and a exercise bike. He…

Need Excessive Sleep?
Does anyone else feel like they need an excessive amount of sleep? During the school year when I'm getting up at 5:45 am to get my kids ready and take them to school I feel like I'm chronically exhausted even though I'm getting nearly 8 hours of sleep a night. Like fighting not to fall asleep driving home if I didn't nap…

Bad mental health day
Sorry in advance for the self-pity post. I’m having one of those days where I feel like a failure in everything. Tried to do yoga this morning and couldn’t do have the poses. Trying to get into healthier eating habits but keep slipping back into bad habits and can’t keep it up. Trying my best at work but it still isn’t…

Dizziness, Pins & Needles, Tingling and feeling cold.
I’ve been using the app for coming up to a month now on my calorie deficit. I recently had my 40+ NHS health check and my blood pressure, and cholesterol are fine. The last fortnight I’ve had dizzy spells, particularly tough on stairs. I’ve also started experiencing pins and needles sensations in my arms and hands,…

Minimalism hmmm...
I've recently become interested in minimalism as a mindset for emotional, environmental, physical & financial health. Many mindfulness resources mention only having what you need & love, taking care of yourself & your environment, that are minimalist principles. Are you into it? What is your experience pairing down &…

For My Free Online Therapists...
Not a downward spiral, yet, but I am definitely feeling a heavy wave of sadness that I hope will pass soon. Two weeks ago, my aunt passed away. She was 78, my dad's sister. I wasn't there, several states away, to say goodbye. But, my dad told her what I wanted her to know, though, barely conscious and completely…
