Everyone looking after themselves? I started a new workout routine and I’ve quit smoking (mostly) and it’s really helped.
Hope everyone is okay wherever you are!!

I’m doing more or less somewhat relatively OK-ish mentally. Currently don’t exercise regularly aside from reasonably fast walking (just lack of motivation). Financially fine (tiny low-rent apartment and not many other expenses, so I can save most of my salary). I mostly just relax after work (no experience with organizing yet for various reasons)
Yeah I know that vibe all to well, it’s a battle everyday to just do my little workout which is only an hour. Quitting smoking helped a lot as I feel like I have so much more energy.
Hey fast walking is still excercise though!
Yeah I finish work and I’m just exhausted every single day, I shouldn’t moan about WAH since I’m privileged to be able to do it but the impact its had on my mental and physical health are pretty dire.
Glad to hear you are doing okay though!
7 hours a week is significantly more than I’ve ever done 😐 I usually focused on high-intensity exercises just to get it over with
I also work remotely (with a standing desk, which is hopefully less awful for my back). By capitalism’s standards, I have a pretty good, low-stress job, so it’s not that bad for the most part.
I’m also glad that you’re feeling better after your legendary Lemmygrad account was retired a few weeks ago
Hahaha 7ish, I won’t pretend to be consistent with it at all!
Have you found the standing desk helps? I’ve had my eye on them ngl
Awwwh I’m sorry I left everyone 😔 I realised that I was falling into obsessive habits with social media again and not just on here and that combined with how fragile I felt raised some red flags. BPD is a removed and I was only enabling it so I took a break and worked through some stuff. I’m trying to be better this time but I just like chatting with everyone so much that I’ve noticed I’m overusing again (it’s so easy to do nothing and just sit on the Internet) so I think I still need to reign in my usage a lot but I’m definitely in a better place than I was the previous month so that’s good 😊
BPD is awful. I’m sorry you have to suffer with it. My mom has it and somehow got convinced to stop taking her meds after 20 years of them working and blew away like $40k, then crashed really hard from her manic high. Luckily my brother and I were able to get a decent amount of her money back by selling the stuff she bought. She’s now back on her old meds and functioning like anyone else.
This is a huge problem with meds that work, unfortunately. I’ve guided multiple people that took meds for different thing (BPD, schizophrenia for example) that felt good while taking meds who suddenly decided they’d be fine without them. But the meds is what’s making them feel fine and what’s keeping it all together. This is a very common thing really.
Sorry you had to go through that. Mental health problems are a removed.
Thanks, yeah I’ve been guilty of attempting to get off my medication because I think that I feel fine and don’t need them, yet they’re the reason I do feel OK. I think I know better now.
I didn’t know manic episodes could last that long. Hers went on for about a year and a half before she crashed.
Oh no I can only imagine how stressful that must have been. I don’t think I’m bad enough to be that chaotic hence I’ve survived without meds but I can imagine the shitstorm that manic period must have being.
I know when I get them I get very impulsive and essentially child like. It feels great weirdly but I’m so embarrassed because it’s like I’m a kid on a sugar rush!! Then the crash is erghhhhh…
Glad to hear she is back on the meds and doing okay! How you managed to claw back some of the cash and handle that situation is beyond me!!
I don’t know what effect it’ll have on my back when I’m an Old Man™, but it’s probably better than sitting (although it might be best to sit and stand intermittently rather than just standing for ~8 hours, so you’d need an “adjustable” desk). It’s mostly nice to be able to move around a bit and stretch m’legs wit’ th’chair
That sounds rough. At least you’re able to recognize when you need a break. (Judging by my comment count I should probably calm down a bit too)
Hmmmm yeah remembering back to service industry work and standing for 8 hours or more was hell! Breaks plz haha.
I tend to try and walk t’ shop at lunch t’ get ma bait as my break from sitting down at the moment but I do need more time away from my desktop.
Yeah ngl without any proper help due to shambolic mental health care provision it gets really rough but healthy lifestyle changes etc have helped a lot! I’m getting better at recognising my triggers and combating irrational thinking but sometimes I don’t catch it and once I’ve split my day just becomes a write off 😔
'sgood t’take a wee break ev’ry now’n’then
I had such a good break just then I spent it asleep on the couch 🛋 😴

His girlfriend’s mom, a suburbanite Karen to the T, who has zero humor, for no reason: I’m jokah babey
Hard relate to “high intensity just to get it over with.” Sometimes I stuff all the vegetables with a meal in my mouth at once just so I can enjoy the garbage stuff unadulterated 😂😂😂
