Support and Friends

GravisMetus

Hello,

I’m sure a post like this already exist. I couldn’t find it but if you know of one please point me to it.

I’m in Los Angeles. I’m a 29 year old guy and I suffer from depression and anxiety. I’ve been taking medication and going to therapy for a few years now and I’m way better than I was when I started! Woo Hoo! The last and biggest hurdle I have is my weight. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that this topic gives me a lot of stress anxiety and depressive thoughts.

I’ve found in the past that when I have support such as a personal trainer or work out friend I’m very successful. I would like to get another support group. I would like to find others who suffer from any type of psychological issues. Doesn’t have to be officially diagnosed. Also shout out to the guys who have these body image issues but are afraid to discuss them.

Anyways. Thanks you for listening!

I love your shout out to the guys. Body image issues are not strictly a female thing.

I see lots of posts in the motivation and support board from people struggling with depression along their journey, that might be a good place to find others who share your struggles.
