RR I believe this site is new and so they don't have many people yet. I'm here you can message me and I will encourage you. I understand it's overwhelming. I lost hope before covid and was housebound with a aide struggling everyday just to put one foot in front of the other to do anything. It was really depressing and I hurt beyond words. I'm doing much better and am losing some weight now and getting off meds which is a miracle. Don't give up..! The answer is on it's way. I'm realizing the U.S. is a chronically ill nation treating symptoms and not the cause of why we are sick. My life is changing everyday now.So know someone is in your corner.❤️

To start this conversation i will introduce myself… hi i Used to be on latuda myself its soooooo good for treating bipolar; i had the same weight gain it just urged me to carb load 😬 but all pills can lead to weight gain for anyone just rotten luck ❤️ Girl put on that playlist the one with cardi b and lizzo singing rumors as the starting up song and get that. Go get that 70 min moderate to intense exercise the American heart association recommends. Why? Cause i know you can do it 🙌 Okay so you are going through depression. What will make it better? Do you need to move somewhere quieter? Closer to work to remove traffic in the morning? Need to buy a cleaning service to help? Oh and i would recommend your local library’s meetings / virtual events or some other community bonding youd fit right in! a great time for it mental health awareness month and all. Ex. Today I am doing dnd i signed up weeks ago on a library website 💕 💕 Thank you for chatting 🤗 ✌️
