Replied on That’s Exactly How I Feel

There’s just so much that could be said with your lovely essay. I’ve screenshoted the whole thing to keep in mind. So, some background— I was a very overweight unathetic child, and teased mercilessly by friends, family, and everyone else for years. I compensated by being academic and artistic, trying to prove my value over and over through those areas. I finally took some drastic and unhealthy measures as a teen and changed my body.. so unfortunately adulthood has been fraught with fear that I would return to that state. It’s not logical or fair.. and the last few years have been a practice of dealing with this toxic habitual behavior.

Not a rant at all, but a seriously informed experience. Thank you! I do some cycle tracking when it comes to moods, my skin, knowledge on when to expect my period, etc, but it seems like it would be a huge help to think about tracking with a physical energy perspective too.

I’m definitely going to journal with this in mind for a while. It’s similar to something my own therapist had me do, but what you shared is much more structured. Thank you so so much 💜🤗

Hold on Laura 💜 deciding to slowly get back to the mat in an intentional way is so beautiful, even if depression might tell you otherwise. Love to you 💜
