    I am 71 years young, suffered from depression since my early 20s. I fight daily to not go down the rabbit hole. I am extremely overweight and have adapted a do nothing life style. I hope to gain some guidance from this group on how to get myself out of the chair for exercise and not just go to the frig.! Suggestions?

    Anyone who wants to be friends/offer suggestions? Exercise (& medication) makes me feel better. I have a LONG road ahead. I've mostly been walking, just the last few weeks.

    I would love to form a support system with you. I too have been trying to stick to a 1200 calorie diet. I am successful about 40% of the time. Journaling my food intake is humbling and has started to make me think before I stuff something in. Exercise is another story. I need a kick in the butt to get started. We can encourage each other toward a healthy physical life style. Hey it may improve our mental illnesses?

    I struggle with anxiety and depression... Mostly panic attacks, but I am on medication that seems to level me out and I am eating better, working out, it's hard for the workouts, my body has issues... Lol, I broke both of my feet , one in 2010 and one in 2015, I have a bad right knee, will probably need a replacement, permanently broken right wrist, it's my lunate bone it can't be repaired, I have bad joints due to a medicine I was on.... So I do what I can and I am proud of myself... I am trying and I pray I'll get there someday, I also have up cigarettes cold turkey.

    I also struggle with depression and anxiety as a result of bipolar II. Medication is a necessity for me but I have had a hard time staying with an exercise routine.

    Please feel free to add me; I am happy to support and can use some myself :smile:
