The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

52 Small Things 8h

What is your life's motto?

Dory in Pixar's "Finding Nemo'' famously embraced the phrase "just keep swimming”; while Timon and Pumbaa in Disney's "Lion King" repeatedly sang "Hakuna Matata" (which means no worries, of course). Both are memorable phrases and mottos that remind us it's possible to keep moving forward.

What mottos or truths do you go by that help you keep going?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks said her motto is to remember that "it's OK to always be gentle with herself and her journey."

i feel so stressed out because I am overweight. Doctor says I need to lose 80 pounds for health benefits. I really need to lose all this weight

I really hope I lose all this unwanted weight and keep it off permanently. In the past I was on Adipex (a weight loss pill), I lost all the weight on the pill but when I stopped taking it I ended up gaining back more weight and it damaged my skin with deep acne scarring. I want to lose all this weight naturally and safely and to never gain back any unwanted weight. It would mean the absolute world to me if I lost all this unwanted weight and kept it off permanently

What’s a superpower you’d benefit from having right now?

Mighties, wouldn’t it be amazing to have a superpower that helps you tackle everyday tasks or reach your goals with more ease—especially during times when your body isn’t cooperating or you’re experiencing a symptom flare?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she’d love the ability to create temporary clones of herself, each one doubling her energy. That way, her main body could rest while still getting things done and replenishing energy at the same time.

What superpower do you wish you had right now? 🦸‍♀️

I need to lose 80 pounds for health benefits. Any weight loss tips and advice on how I can lose all this weight naturally and safely

My doctor says I need to lose it. It would mean the absolute world to me if I lost all this unwanted weight and kept it off permanently. Please don’t comment saying it’s okay to be overweight or stupid stuff like that because nobody wants to be fat unless if you are stupid. I just hope I lose all this weight and keep it off permanently
