OzRoo 1,492 Posted June 23, 2016 Number 14, ask for help .... I finally started using this one. It was so hard for me to actually ask for help, yet I was always there whenever anyone else needed help. I finally realised that I too need and deserve help, at times.... Thank you @@Inner Surfer Girl, Great reading xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

becomingmandikaye 262 Posted June 23, 2016 I will definitely take a mental health day from work if I'm struggling. Sometimes that's the best thing I can do for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melyssafaye 181 Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for this. I really needed to find something like that today. I've been so depressed lately it's almost paralyzing. I think it has a lot to do with the loss of comfort. Small things you do to make yourself feel better. Like go out to dinner with friends, have a soda, go shopping or whatever. I can go out, but the reward isn't the same. I'm desperate for clothes, especially now that the seasons are changing. I'm in a size 8 or 10 now. Nothing from last year fits and I'm still losing, so no point in buying clothes unless I need them for something specific. I used to have lovely clothes that fit me well and made me feel pretty. I'm a vintage clothing collector, so my wardrobe was carefully cultivated over decades. I had been the same size for over 20 years. Now, nothing fits. No point in buying lovely dresses. I want the comfort I used to get from curling up with a pint of ice cream. But, I know that it would be no consolation now. I'm feeling sorry for myself. I know that. It's nice to think of other ways to find comfort until I feel more like myself. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted October 15, 2016 The link isn't coming up for me right now either. Maybe the site is down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melyssafaye 181 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) http://www.upworthy.com/101-self-care-suggestions-for-when-it-all-feels-like-too-much It seems the problem is with the mobile app. Just google 101 ways to care for yourself, it's the first result OR on iPhone, click link then touch the icon at bottom that is square with and arrow.
