In my lifetime,I was struggling with depression and I didn’t have very many people to talk to about it,it all started in junior high up until now.I felt like nobody liked me or just simply didn’t like me in general but that’s not the only reason I also think negative all the time.Over time I just have to learn that life is hard and I may fall down but I just have to pick myself back up.My life hasn’t always been easy I don’t really talk to many people like I use to I don’t even go out of the house anymore other than school I constantly isolate myself in my room and never come out I just trap myself in there I don’t even talk to my parents really because of this.I eventually started overcoming it I mean I still don’t talk to many people but…
Depression is a very serious thing ,I should know especially because I’ve gone through and still deal with depression in my life. The first time depression hit he the hardest that left me at a point of a life changing decision not just for myself but for the people around me was during near the end of my seventh grade year. Events took place before that event I was told I was probably going to have to move schools the next year leaving my friends behind and having to be alone with no one. That year ended and I was left thinking I was going to be alone and I lost a few people who meant alot to me. During the summer things got worse. I was alone only able to think about what had happened and not having anyone to talk to ,I truly felt alone.…
I have now failed myself again. “Why is it so hard to lose weight?" I said aloud in frustration. I've tried everything. This summer I really wanted the "beach" body. I begin to question myself. Am I eating healthier, proportioning my size, drinking plenty water, and exercising enough?…
Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…
My food aversion is Macaroni and Cheese. When I was little my mom use to buy it a lot, so we had for lunch a lot. But one time when I was eating my Mac & Cheese I threw up all over the table. Ever since then I refused to eat Mac & Cheese, but I can look at it, cook it, and smell it and would be fine. So that is the food I am refusing to eat till this…
I was walking in the door getting home from my first week of highschool. My backpack made a thud as it hit the hardwood floor. Sitting in the chair across the room, my mom was waiting with beckoning eyes. She asked me to come sit down. I pulled up a chair with some hesitation. This could not be good. She told me that I got my blood test results back and tested positive for celiac disease. I heard the word disease and immediately thought the worst. Once she told me that it meant that I could no longer have any bread, my heart sank. From this point forward my life changed.…
I paced around the room nervously to fight my urge to eat. To eat, eat and eat. To eat until my stomach is full and it feels like throwing up. That was me at the time I suffered from eating disorder, more specifically binge eating.…
I have some experience with diabetes. A couple members of my family suffer with diabetes and I have also had friends with diabetes also. Changing their lifestyle to me, seems to be the hardest for people to do. Finding out something like diabetes makes you reconsider a lot of things. You are having to give up some things you may not want.…
Been in the hospital 11 times this year so far. One of my drs partners admitted me this time around and since I was just released on Thursday he decided to call in gi on call. The gi decided it was about time for a feeding tube. So I go in tomorrow to have that placed. Ik knew it was coming from the day I was diagnosed with gp but it feels like failure on my part. I have lost almost 100 lbs which I can afford to lose. I did weigh 250 and down to 170 now. I always feel run down and no energy anymore. I want to be able to keep up with my 6 year old. I know the tube will help that but still feels like I failed my body when I know in reality my body failed me. I am type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and cgms also considering a spinal…
I want to start my weight loss journey but it does not feel like enough time in the day. Most of the time, I am stuck doing homework all day when I am not in class. I told myself that I was going to start a healthy diet and try going to the gym for at least thirty minutes every day. I know if I did, I would feel better and have more energy, but I feel like I always have something else to do that hinders me from going too the gym. There a lot of temptations when it comes to trying to eat healthily. Starbucks is one of my favorite places to go on campus and it is not good for me at all. I think the only way that my diet will work is if I go grocery shopping for healthy items and only eat from my dorm, versus eating fast food every day.…
One problem I had my first semesters was the fact that I had no time between trying to find a job, and caring for my family. I have learned to optimize my time, with planning and getting to know what time is best for what. My health class that I took spring semester helped me spread out my schedule for the week to see what I can do and what time I can do it. While I have come to find out tending for a family is a full-time job, the best time for me to get any of my school work done is when they’re at work or school themselves or while I am at school. It is easier to focus in a work environment than it is at home where I am constantly being pulled away to clean, cook or to help someone. When it comes to looking for a job, the best way to look…
When I was younger I never truly understood mental illness. I never expected that I would be affected by it. When I was sixteen, I experienced feeling anxious especially around people, chest pains, and occasional panic attacks. I had no idea what was wrong with me so, naturally, I Googled it. I concluded that I probably had social anxiety.…

Fill up the plate.” The stomach is expanding and the pants feel as though they are exploding at the seams, but one goes back for a second helping of delicious holiday food. Then one thinks after devouring all that food: am I a binge eater?…
