Definitely with you on the antipsychotic. I've also never been particularly active, plus I have problems with my knees (dislocation). I also don't like walking alone for safety reasons, and my one friend who would walk with me goes at a faster pace than I can do. Also now it's hot out and I burn really easily and skin cancer runs in my family.

SO I've been trying to do yoga at home, but I'm really self-conscious so I don't like doing it when people are home. And I currently don't have enough space in my room. Plus my room stresses me out. But hey, I learned today that I break a sweat just cleaning my room, so I guess that could be a start. Two birds with one stone.

My biggest mental challenge is the depression half of Bipolar Disorder. Actually, I deal more with depression than mania these days. I, too, gained a ton of weight on meds over the years. But I managed to lose it. But now, with added physical health problems I am dealing with more meds weight gain as well as emotional eating from depression and chronic pain. Today is a particularly rough day with the depression.

i have a downright crazy phobia of choking. About 2 years ago i was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and i spiraled into a mix of depression and agrophobia. i could barely leave my bed most days and refused to eat. now that i am avercoming this i have gained a ton of weight. there are a ton of foods that i am still too afraid to attempt to eat and the food that i can eat is mostly unhealthy. now im more overweight than iv ever been in my life but im hoping that with my new found freedom from my anxiety and comfort of having a comunity to rely on here, i can push myself to eat better and excercise.
Baby Steps and one hurdle at a time, im staying positive

My anxiety goes thru the roof when I go to the gym, all those people looking at me.. at least that's what goes on in my head constantly. I rather work out at home, I've been using T25 to develop a foundation before trying anything to demanding.
