Poshi, stop talkin' 'bout food, I'm hungry, and still have an hour of working time left XD

It's been really horrible lately, I think staying up late, getting up late, depression...

Quota as in amount I set for myself for the peanuts. I don't want to have too many in a day

I'm trying to fix my sleep but lately my eyes have been really sensitive to sunlight so I avoid the day. I went out at 9am this morning to put up the washing and I could barely see and it hurt so much. I'm practically nocturnal now but I need to turn my sleeping schedule around because I have uni starting Monday.

Ah, yes, the depression does affect appetite :c Poor River. Are you clinically depressed or situational/other (if you don't mind me asking)? I know talking about it helped me a bit but I know some people just rather not.

I'm allergic to peanuts *breaks out in hives

Well it's I guess situational? The whole not having a job thing aids to it a lot. Along with in the past, it was the whole sarah thing.. that was hell.

But I also know for a bit there I was kind of skipping meals because I felt I was gaining too much of a bigger stomach, for me that's a huge thing because of my metabolism being well fast. I could eat what I like and now I feel I can't as much. But I think part of it is I stuffed up my eating patterns for a while. So I stuffed up the metabolism so I guess I'm trying to eat at least 3 meals a day and try to have a snack that's not lollies (for a while I was snacking on those quite a bit.. I have a weak spot for starburst) such as the peanuts.

That sucks :( I just can't have them too often otherwise it's uh fibre starts to affect me. haha

Hmm, I think luckily for you situational is easier to get out of than clinical, at least from my experience. Take baby steps and over time things will lighten up. I hope you find something that works for yourself.

Exercise was a step I took and just sitting out in the sun every day helped too because it forced my body awake in a human appropriate time. Since I couldn't bear to leave the house I took up pilates in the comfort of my own home. At first it's quite the choir and finding the motivation to lay out my matt but after a while it becomes easier and also a habit. Of course, my situation was very different from yours as my health situation was the reason why I was depressed and being hospitalised helped as well as having the comfort of a friend who was also depressed. We would lean on each other a lot of the time.

Hahaha :3 I should get more fibre.

It's just hard cause I think it could go into clinical too.

I'm trying yoga/fitstar apps atm. Doing 10-20 minutes a day so far. I was doing that before but stopped cause it got to chore like.

You should find something that you think is fun. I thought pilates was fun because I actually felt myself get stronger which was a good feeling but I looked more tone :3 You should try to change up your routine every 6 weeks as that's how long it takes for your body to adapt and you will no longer see results afterwards. Apps are rather boring. Try a video or following a fitness channel, that way they release new content every week or so.

Well I sort of enjoy yoga though not sure I do downward dog properly.

The app has different routines in it. Actually the yoga ones can be quite long. It's got videos in it :) on the free bits.

What's particularly troublesome about downward dog? You should feel it in your calves as you press your toes and palms into the matt as you come up. It's been a while.

what's fibre?
