Any tips/advice for weight loss and clear skin?

I am on medications for my mental health and it makes me feel hungry plus I have really bad acne scars on my face because my dad took me to a dietitian a few years ago and the pill they gave me caused me to have marks all over my face. The pill was called Adipex. I did lose the weight but a few years later I ended up gaining back all the weight and even more weight than I was before

I really hate the way I look

Throughout my life I have had men especially men I have had crushes on reject me or say stuff about the way I look that I am not attractive and I am ugly. I have even been told I am not appealing. I don’t think I am pretty and therapy doesn’t help that. I never liked the way I looked even when I was skinny. Now I am overweight because of my mental health medications. It’s just what can I do if I was born this way? I always had people be so rude and mean to me. I don’t see why people can’t be nice, I have been through so much and I am close to 30 and a virgin.

Envy steals your peace

Envy often shows up when the mind forgets its own direction. Comparing yourself to others can quietly create tension, self doubt, and dissatisfaction, even when you are doing well. Peace of mind comes from returning your attention to your own path and trusting that growth does not need to look the same for everyone. The less you measure your life against others, the more grounded and content you begin to feel. Where do you notice comparison stealing your peace the most?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

People are so rude. I keep thinking about all the times people have offended me and I have felt disrespected me.

I keep remembering this one guy who knew my uncle and he told me my life could be a lot worse and then one time I used to talk to this girl who was a really bad nasty person who took advantage of me and he told me I am too young to be hanging out with her that she is a fine lady. I also keep remembering there was this one guy who worked as a mental health technician at the mental hospital I was in and he told me to leave him alone and then he saw me got hospitalized again and he asked how I am doing. Another mental health technician named Alex told me what I am going through must be tough and it doesn’t effect his life whatsoever. I can’t count how many times I have had men be rude and disrespectful to me even cops. I don’t see why they can’t be nice. I have been called ugly my whole life. I don’t know why people have to be so rude to me. That’s why I am not gonna tolerate bullsh*t anymore and I am gonna be mean too. There have been plenty of more times people have been rude to me; countless. That is why I choose to stay away from people. I rather be by myself..

How to stop destructive thoughts from running your life

Destructive thoughts often go unquestioned, even though they quietly shape how you live your life. Beliefs like “I’m not capable,” “I’m not confident enough,” or “I’ll get rejected” feel true because they come from past experiences, not because they actually reflect who you are now. Learning to identify these thoughts, understand where they came from, and consciously replace them with more supportive self talk can slowly change how you see yourself and what you are willing to attempt. Reframing your thoughts is not about pretending everything is perfect, it is about choosing beliefs that help you move forward instead of keeping you stuck. Which belief do you notice holding you back the most right now?

Be selective

It can feel tempting to defend yourself, explain your side, or win an argument, but not every situation deserves your emotional energy. Constantly fighting to be right keeps your mind activated and your body tense. Choosing peace does not mean you agree or give up, it means you are prioritizing your mental health over unnecessary stress. The more selective you become with your battles, the calmer and more grounded your life feels. Where in your life could choosing peace bring you relief right now?

If you feel like you’re just surviving instead of thriving, do this instead

A lot of people are not failing at life, they are just stuck in survival mode. When stress is constant, focus disappears, reactions become automatic, and intention gets replaced by exhaustion. Simple tools like pausing before reacting, focusing only on what you can actually control, and identifying what drains or fuels your energy can shift you out of that pattern. You do not need to fix everything at once. You need clarity. When you slow down your reactions, let go of what is outside your control, and deliberately invest energy in what supports you, thriving becomes possible again. Which of these feels like the hardest part for you right now?

The voice in your head

Healing does not mean the inner voice disappears, it means it loses its power over you. When you stop believing every thought automatically, space opens up for calm, self compassion, and even humor. That moment when you notice the voice and no longer feel controlled by it is a quiet sign of real progress. Have you noticed any changes in how you relate to your thoughts lately?

If stress is draining your energy, try this today

Most people think stress is only mental, but prolonged stress affects your memory, your immune system, your focus, and your energy levels. Over time, it can leave you feeling foggy, tense, and exhausted without knowing why. Simple tools like slow breathing, relaxing physical tension in your body, and writing out what is weighing on your mind can interrupt this cycle and give your nervous system a chance to reset. These practices are not about fixing everything at once, they are about releasing pressure instead of carrying it all internally. Which of these tools do you feel like you could try the next time stress starts to build?

So much of our suffering comes from leaving the present moment.

Anxiety pulls you into the future and sadness pulls you into the past, but peace lives only in the present moment. When you stop obsessing over what might happen and stop replaying what already did, your mind finally gets a chance to rest. Staying present does not mean everything feels good, it means you are no longer fighting reality. The more often you return to now, the more your nervous system learns that it is safe to settle. What helps you come back to the present when your mind starts to spiral?
