I'll be honest... today was one of those days that I was in my jammies all day :P

I do logs a lot when I have panic attacks, they are really helpful

Whenever people suggest reading I have to laugh at myself because I get really into whatever I read... when I was in 1st grade I stayed up till 11 (my bedtime was 8) reading The Wizard of Oz and got in HUGE trouble... things haven't changed much with my reading habits.

I'll have to look into these. My mom uses them too sometimes... unfortunately I have a "dumb phone" right now :(

The best I sleep is when my boyfriend is in town, insomnia is always the worst right after he leaves. Sleeping alone sucks.

I've been told that doing other things, like watching tv, doing work, etc. in your bedroom can also make it harder to sleep... I live in a studio, so I don't really have any other choice. A lot of the problem (which has to do with anxiety) is that I can't turn my brain off at night. I think about ridiculous things, I end…

1) your profile pic is super cute 2) maybe I should make a bet like this with my boyfriend, great idea

I know! I'm terrible. When I lived at home/with other people I couldn't handle any light, so far this is the only thing I've been able to use though... I'd love to find a way around it because the light does bug me and it still takes me way longer than it should to fall asleep.

your welcome :) This is the best piece of advice I've been given (and it came from pinterest!) I apply it to everything... education (homework is hard, being uneducated is hard), happiness (working for your dreams is hard, being unhappy is hard), watching my favorite shows (staying up is hard, not knowing what happens next…

The thing I like about the tv is that I can set it to sleep so it goes off eventually, when I listen to the radio I wake up later and get really frustrated because there's noise... silly, I know... half-asleep me is really femaledoggy.

omg that is the cutest bunny!

I once had a boyfriend that believed this. It was 2 months into the relationship before I found out because he would chew gum and stuff so other than his teeth looking a little weird (which I assumed was from his occasional smoking) I didn't realize (also I was young and stupid)... the relationship did not last much…

All of this is awesome advice! I especially love your last two points. Not putting off living is something I definitely need to remind myself of more!

As I said in my last comment: Thank you for your time, I appreciate the advice. I'm sorry if I came across as rude (except for my response to the obviously rude comment asking someone not to comment on my thread). I intend to stand up for myself, and if that comes across as rude on the internet I'm very sorry. I realize…

All of this is awesome info! I know you can't know what I do and do not know, there are some things here that I already know, but I'm sure there are plenty of other people that don't know them!

just a small fyi the "have you ever listened to Fall Out Boy" was in response to someone referring to it as "white boy rap". FOB is not rap... or anything close to it. As far as the "not worrying about it" I mentioned earlier that my concern was about not wanting to under eat or over eat that day. A lot of people have…

I have flagged one comment tonight and it was your very first one. It was by far the rudest thing on this thread, and completely uncalled for.

Are you a psychologist? Because you're wrong. I'm sorry, but if you look at my comments on people that were not being rude and actually tried to be helpful, even when it wasn't necessarily what I wanted to hear (ex my convo with wheelhouse) you'll see that that's not the case.

It's not me flagging everything, although I've seen people flagged for similar things... or less

That makes sense! Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!

Am I not allowed to stand up for myself? I don't like the derailing, and I really appreciate the helpful comments. I'm particularly interested in what @Wheelhouse15 is talking about. However, if people are going to insist on being rude to me on my own thread I'm going to stand up for myself. I am an adult. I am not stupid.…

I'm really confused by this. So since my baseline is low should I be counting anything that burns less calories than my daily calorie goal? By your calculation I would still be burning more calories than I do in my usual daily exercise.

the sarcasm was in the "we don't have concerts in America" which implies that I am not American (which is not offensive, but untrue)

ok, if that's the case there are tons of new people here every day... she can't get offended every time someone takes her "snort" and sarcasm as rude.

I'm sorry you're not impressed with me. That seems to be a personal problem. This is my thread. "New here" should NOT be an insult. You can stay off my threads in the future if you are going to say such things. Goodbye

Thanks! This is very helpful

2 miles of running per hour seems like a lot to me. Sure, if I was actually running I would cover more than 2 miles in an hour, but if I'm basically running 6 miles in one evening that seems like pretty big thing to me when I have my activity level at lightly active? I promise I'm not trying to be rude, I'm genuinely…

I feel like "you must be new here" is meant to be an insult. I'm sorry that I recently decided to make a change in my life. I called you out because I felt you were being rude by saying "snort". Perhaps you didn't mean for it to be rude, but it definitely came across that way, especially combined with the sarcasm of "we…

I'm going to go ahead and assume that if I'm dancing and jumping for 3+ hours, even with quite a few breaks, I'm going to be burning more calories than I do when I walk for exercise. So should I not be counting that either?

anyone that puts "snort" or "sigh" in their post is intentionally implying that I'm being ridiculous or stupid. If that's not what they mean by it, then I would suggest they reconsider how they present themselves.
