Kind :)

The health of myself and my family and also for the summer warmth!

Gorgeous hair and eyes!

Really wanting some popcorn but don't want to move and wake the baby 😩

Very close! :)

Wait, I cheated...49 😁

45?

Watching "Worst Cooks in America" while my 6 week old is sleeping on me 😊

Hi! 😁

Nope :)

Unfortunately, a song from my 2.5 yrs old's favorite show, Blippi. "The Fire Truck Song" 🤣😑

Positive and kind!

Nope!

It's definitely profound! And that is awesome that you have been doing really well these past 6 months! That is so great to hear, and I do believe that the new habits will definitely bridge the gap! Having those healthy habits can honestly be a life saver during the dark times, and it does help pull us through! I'm here if…

I can TOTALLY relate to you on this! Being engaged in my life and staying regularly active is a key for me as well. It is when I sit with my thoughts and ruminate and dwell on things that I begin to spiral and I think it is a control thing for me too. I never really thought of it in the sense of alcoholism, and it…

Thank you so much for sharing that with me! It's definitely nice knowing I'm not alone! That definitely sounds like it has been tricky and it is really awesome that you have been finding what works well for you! Pregnancy was difficult for my mental health as well so I can relate in that sense too! I am in the same boat of…

That's awesome that you have been able to figure out what works for you and helps you! I eat between time windows as well and there are definitely days where I am counting down the clock as well lol. It sounds like you are on a great track - thank you so much for opening up and sharing that! It's super helpful to see what…

I'm sorry, depression can be so horrible and debilitating! It's good that you are working at developing healthier outlets though! Journaling and exercising are both amazing outlets! You have definitely made progress!! It takes time and baby steps and sometimes just riding the wave until the worst passes. You've got this!…

I get that same way as well! I really try to remind myself that it could possibly help uplift my mood and also exert depressive energy. However, it does get extremely hard to motivate myself and even move because I am just so tired. Some days I just self-care but I really try to push myself and remind myself that energy…

I'm so sorry! Depression and anxiety are no fun at all! I hope that the gym keeps helping and hopefully can counteract some of the depression! I'm dealing with that fun anxiety piece right now - I am just too anxious to have very much and nausea takes over. It is definitely not a good cycle, and I'm here for you if you…

Aww thank you, and I'm here if you need anything as well! Those extreme highs and lows definitely take a toll. I've been working at 16 hour intermittent fasting and I feel like it has helped with those extreme cravings on days where I just want to have sugar to cope. It sounds like you know what works for you and that is…

I completely agree, I cannot seem to make any food if I'm depressed and I tend to make poorer choices. I can never seem to eat much when I have high anxiety, I just get too nauseous or I begin to even worry about the food choices lol. I love popcorn! That's always a good choice! I'm here for you when you need support.…

I appreciate your response! I definitely have been working on incorporating more plant-based foods and trying to lessen carbohydrates. I tend to have meat only at dinner, but I do need to include more fish in my diet and/or at least take my fish oil supplements. I've been working on bettering my gut health in hopes it'll…

That is really awesome that the strategies you have learned have carried over to help with your depression and anxiety! I totally get the whole work in progress thing! That is honestly really insightful and helpful to hear. My anxiety is horrible as of lately and I'm sorry that you are dealing with it all as well! I'm here…

It's 8:50pm and I want to bake something....however I am too lazy and don't have anyone to give baked goods to because I don't want them in my house. Guess I'll just watch best Baker in America? Or the Great British Baking Show lol

Accept!

Aww that's sweet! I'm always up for chatting! And I have not chatted with the person above :)

Haha I was serious! You're just 1 off! 36 for you? I'm terrible at this lol!
