The idea I come back to a lot is: “Morning begins at night”. The idea is that getting started is often the hardest part, so finding ways to pre-load small bits will make it easier for future-you to do a thing. The usual example is laying out all your workout clothes the night before, so that in the morning when you’re sleepy you just need to throw on the things waiting for you. But it can be all kinds of stuff… I started leaving a glass of water on the kitchen counter before I go to work, because I would get home and just go the whole evening getting dehydrated and cranky without realizing it. Now I come in, see the glass, and since it’s right there waiting it’s less work to just drink half than to ignore it 😅

Honestly something that makes me feel energetic and at ease is doing yoga and drinking green tea

Does anyone feel like they are stuck in place? I haven’t done anything besides lay in bed on my phone (if I’m not at work) for almost a year now. I have the desire to go out and be a part of the world, but I feel like my body is glued to my bed. I can’t motivate myself to get out of pajamas to go anywhere, and the entire time I’m out (even just at the store) I just want to be home in bed. I mainly just DoorDash food now, when I can convince myself to eat. I’m tired.

So, I weight 67kg and I am trying to lose weight, but I can't do a diet cuz If I go too long without eating I almost pass out of anxiety, I have a traumatic response due to not eating and then staying in bed and having to do treatments to be able to eat again. I eat a lot of rice and nowdays I am eating much less, cuz before I used to eat ALL the time, and I mean it. I am having problems leaving my house due to my anxiety and I am only able to go out for small walks or a grocery store nearby, months ago I was still in this state, but I was able to really go out, now I can't, cuz at some point I start to automatically have anxious responses and I feel bad. That being said, I am dealing with physical limitations, I can't exercise for more than 10 minutes, and can't go to a gym. I am trying to eat less, and less but I am losing hope that I will never get better and will turn into a fat slob. How can I improve?

Hi there. I’ve been having such a tough time with being agoraphobic for almost two years and then having real physical manifestations from anxiety and stress which makes everything harder. I feel so bored all the time and I feel like all I can do is watch tv and do crosswords and read and scroll. I feel like I’ve just become so afraid to do much of anything else and I’m going so slow with my erp because a lot of it feels way to overwhelming for how I am right now. It’s crazy to think there was a time before this where I was functioning so normal and so on track with things. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for things that may help? I barely get out of bed and I’ve been dealing with dpdr that makes it so much tougher but I want to get back to how I once was. ❤️🩹
