So I am working on anxiety and fatigue first. Anxiety I am learning about polyvagal theory and for fatigue, I’m working with an integrative doctor to see if there are things lacking that can be fixed with supplements etc.

Honestly, I am still trying to figure this out, but one thing I think has supported me is focusing inward first and trying to get a handle on myself mentally, because I feel if I don’t have a handle there, then so much I try can get easily derailed.

Yes mental stability helps but it's hard when you have a list of mental and physical trama

I started exercising and I gained 5lbs. (Of fat, not muscle.) I have a feeling diet is the key, but food is how I cope.

I spent money at the gym, eating only veggies and fruits, did tons of walking, drink water only and was gaining up to 15lbs a week til I reached the max my body could.

I've found sticking to a very strict diet helped me lose a lot of weight. Although it took me a while to learn what I can and can't eat. After awhile I always hit a plateau in my weight loss but by then I'm used to my new diet and I start exercising to help lose more weight. Unfortunately with my bipolar I go into very manic depressive moods where I start over eating and lose all my progress. I'm working on that though so hopefully I can keep my weight down. I hope this helps! Good luck with your journey!

I'd love to know the answer to this! I've never had such horrible weight problems like I do now. And hormonal stomach fat will not budge for me

I would recommend 21 day fix which helps you ease into macros and their importance. I have … well everything. PCOS, endo, bipolar I, BPD, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, IIH, and insomnia. It is tough, but it can be done.
