Nice one at speaking about it in here.

PTSD and anxiety aren't easy to live with... You seem to be coping well right now. Keep a good spirit...

Thank you for this event, if it hadn't been for it I might have just ignored my physical health needs a bit longer. I'm going to take another bath after completing my daily RuneScape tasks now, too.

Thank you CPSL Mind. Thank you Prince's Trust. - And thank you You Are RAD

Very nicely said. I have a similar story.

When their representatives joined Discord for a Mental Health Q&A I hesitiated with involving myself in it, but after seeing others talk about what they struggle with, I felt a lot more welcome.
Being 22 it's only gone south the past 3 years. My family has begged me too much to seek help. I'm trying my best to write this post without too much embarassment but I keep deleting parts.
In the end of the Q&A I had told them if the good spirit kept going in the channel I would resubscribe to my gym after 3 years of inactivity. The Q&A really captured my attention and I'm glad it did.
It's very hard to put words on it, I'm just happy that I had the Mental Health role in the Discord, as otherwise I'd have missed out on the Q&A.The chat really encouraged me to appreciate life and while I still haven't exited my home, I don't want to hold empty promises to the representatives I talked to in there. I'll be buying the necessities for gym this week and aim to start later the week. I'm very uncomfortable talking about myself but there's that.
The game can get addictive that's true,
but it offers help when we need it the most

Nice, yeah exercise bikes are great. If you get comfortable with that one, I'd also recommend taking a bike out for a ride every day. If you're awake during midnight then that's a good time to be out with less people around. It helps for my friend who also has anxiety. He takes an hour ride usually around 2am. A walk is also great. It too clears out your mind.

I appreciate you for the thread and your reply. Fingers crossed we'll start with our exercises...! Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

I've ordered me some comfy clothes and new pair of shoes. Next week it shoud be there.

...now I'm a step closer to recovering myself

I'll be sure to post the day I get back from the gym. It's been nearly 3 years since I quit it all. I look forward to starting over and getting myself more positive energy Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

Great to hear!
I got a mewgaroo which is a sweater with a pouch you put your cats in, I've been playing the ole runescape with a cat in my lap for a few days now Lol.

Feel free to add me in-game!

I'm gonna do some walking today, hopefully I won't get too burnt out!
Good luck on your quest! I have collected over 50 cats in OSRS

Aww that's adorable, I'd love to have a pet sit around and play RS with me too !

I don't know about you, but temps are getting freezing cold here, so it feels great to keep yourself warm during a long walk. I look forwards to hear more and if you decide to pull out the bike, go rock it!!

I managed to walk for an hour! I went with a friend that walks SUPER fast; at first it was hard to keep up but than I just kept going for it. I also got some really cool scented candles that made me super happy. Really boosts my mood! I got vanilla bean, hot cocoa, maple syrup pancake, and caramel cinnamon butter scented candles. I'm quite happy about it and burnt all of them at once and my house smells amazing Lol!

Tomorrow i'm going to clear a bit of my study out so I can get on the exercise bike - it might take a few days to clear all the stuff out since I have to sort through it.

Lookin' forward to hear from you! Just added you, too. I have collected over 50 cats in OSRS

Very nice. I'm glad that you went out. It takes a lot of energy for me to pull myself out! I'd like me one of those candles too, and those are some funny scents lol - especially the pancake one, never heard of that.

Yeah get that bike out! After a week or so you should start seeing higher energy levels, and more motivation in exercising more often as you go.
Enjoy your weekend Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !
