hi, i just need to vent tbh haha. admittedly i am quite overweight but i do know this. uni has really made me stressed out and ive gained a lot of weight this year in all honesty which hasnt helped

i dont know how common this is but my flatmates keep commenting on my body, just in jokes but when theres food left out they say it must be mine when i never even have food in the kitchen so i feel like it comes from my weight. sometimes i leave my hoodie on the sofa and every time they say its huge and they dont know how i can wear clothes so big. its just stupid comments like that, theres a lot more and i feel like they probably say it every time im in the kitchen now. i know theyre just joking but im honestly really insecure of my weight right now and they’re not helping. im living with them next year and idk what to do if this continues. ive tried to tell them before to stop but they tell me they’re just joking and carry on

a few weeks ago i had a lecturer stop me after the lecture and say that i seem out of breath a lot and that i should take better care of myself when im so young. idek what to say? 😭 this isn’t someone i really speak to either and i know he probably said it from concern but idk. hes quite old so maybe theres a generational difference but it just made me feel so shit lol

hii, any help would be really appreciated! (or if somewhere else is more suited for my question pls lmk!)

ive recently been suffering with some mobility issues and i dont know if ill be able to manage at all points east. ive never been to a festival but atm i can do concerts but just barely, and only if i accept i’ll be totally wiped out for a few days afterwards. i was at a concert last week and i was stuck in bed for a few days afterwards. i really just can’t stand for long periods of time rn and its come on quite suddenly so im not sure how its really affecting me 100% yet :/

how hard will APE be on my body? obviously you guys dont know for sure as you don’t know me haha, but is it generally more intensive than concerts or not? i would imagine it is, but there are also more spaces to rest right? and what are the standing crowds like? i know it will be calmer at the back which is where im planning on staying, but are there any major differences between it and a concert? im coming a long way to london and its quite expensive for me so i dont want to come if i wont be able to manage it haha. and generally does anyone have any festival tips? :) thank you!!

hii, so i’m going to a one day festival in august (all points east). however, ive recently been having some mobility issues and i don’t know if ill be able to manage. i cant really stand for very long. i just really wanted some input or advice!! tysm

i’ve never been to a festival but atm i can do concerts but just barely, and only if i accept i’ll be totally wiped out for a few days afterwards. i was at a concert last week and i was stuck in bed for a few days afterwards. i would also be attending on my own so there wouldnt be anybody to help me travel back

how hard would this generally be on my body? obviously you guys dont know for sure as you don’t know me haha, but is it generally more intensive than concerts or not? i would imagine it is, but there are also more spaces to rest right? and i‘m assuming i could take breaks while acts are on. i know it will be calmer at the back of standing which is where im planning on staying, but are there any major differences between it and a concert? im coming a long way to london and its quite expensive for me so i dont want to come if i wont be able to manage it haha. and generally does anyone have any festival tips? :) thank you!!

Hi, I always lurk here but this is my first time making a post and I’m extremely ashamed it has to be this one haha

I’m 24f, 5’4 and now 622lbs. I actually don’t know what to do anymore I’m so desperate for help. I know the immediate answer is to speak to a doctor but unfortunately my appointment is not for nearly 2 months and I live in an area where resources like that are limited (sorry I’m trying to be vague as I don’t want to doxx myself). I last saw a doctor a few years ago but admittedly things were not nearly as bad

I’m not trying to turn this post into a “feel bad for me” thing, but in all honesty my life is so crappy right now and food is my only comfort (which I know is just making me worse). I live with my boyfriend and he has to take care of me. He says he’ll love me at any size and he doesn’t mind but honestly my physical health has taken a deep dive recently and I feel bad putting all of this on him. I’m essentially bedridden most days unless I have a really burst of energy, although thats rare. He works from home specifically just so he can help me bathe and get dressed and I feel awful.

My diet is so bad. I eat fast food for all of my meals, I probably eat 5000 calories daily. Like I said, food is my only comfort right now. This is something I will 100% take accountability for, unfortunately I do just love it that much. I don’t know how to practice self control. Diets have never worked for me, if I have the opportunity to buy more then I will. I have genuinely tried before too, I feel like when people hear me say this they assume I give up instantly but sometimes I do stick with it. But then when I eat healthier, food is all I think about and thats when it gets hard to resist

I just don’t know what to do. Honestly I’ve always been fat and always envisioned that I’d lose the weight one day but now I’m getting really worried about my health and I need advice, or literally just any kind of human connection lol the only person I talk to is my boyfriend 😭

Hi reddit. I’m 570lbs and 21 year old female. I still live with my parents and I’m unemployed. I dropped out of high schooI when I was 15 and I have not really been doing a lot except eating since that. AMA, nothing is off limits but be warned my life is quite boring

hii, so im british but i use lbs anyway because i feel like everybody does 😭 i really, really need some advice as what im doing is obviously not working!! im 19f, 5’2 and 434lbs.

admittedly ive really fallen off with weight loss lately so when i weighed myself i had expected to gain, but i did not expect to havs gained around 40lbs and now im feeling extremely overwhelmed. i know about different food groups, cico etc but i have awful food noise and i end up overeating even if ive eaten a fulfilling meal. food is all i think about even when im full 🫠 it doesnt help that i literally live a few doors down from McDonalds 😭 ive had weight problems all my life so my body just does not adjust. ive lost weight before but the food noise didn’t get any better. i do a little bit of exercise but i get tired extremely easily and it makes me feel crap about myself haha. i know it sounds so stupid because weight loss really is as simple as a calorie deficit but im struggling so much and i dont understand how people do this. i know i need to lose weight asap because im worried about my health but im just so overwhelmed. im worried that im just too far gone atp

ive been having some mobility issues recently and im extremely embarrassed but most days i can barely get out of bed. i walked for about 30 minutes yesterday and now my ankles are incredibly swollen and my back is in agony. i live on my own and im starting to really worry about this part of my life. if anyone has any specific advice please share!! please be kind though haha as im already incredibly ashamed this has happened

hii. so around November I started self harming quite frequently when at uni and now my scars are still healing and are really noticeable. im going on holiday in July with my family to a warm country where I dont think i will be able to cover up so I need to explain my scars to them. i havent told my family about my recent sh but when i was 13 i was harming myself and they found out then. they were really upset (not at me, but asking me why id do something like this) and its really making me so nervous to tell them. we dont speak about that time when I was 13 at all :/

my parents are probably my best friends in life lol and ive felt so so guilty hiding this from them, my mum is always saying if anything is wrong then speak to her etc etc which makes me feel so awful that I didnt. i feel like its inevitable that they will be upset but i just really need some tips on telling them. I dont want my relationship to change with them like im literally crying so hard writing this LOL. I don’t want them to judge my scars or think any less of me. I think im going to write some things down on paper so I dont forget what I want to say. but i keep backing out and i’m scared I will leave it too long. honestly I dont even think im looking for any kind of specific advice im just really struggling with this situation and need some encouragement haha

hello. i tried to get help a few months ago from my gp and found it really unhelpful. i have a tendency to downplay things which doesnt help but i mentioned that id been self harming but stopped doing it a few weeks ago and they kind of just brushed it off and said that was good. they told me i could self refer for talking therapy but i was stupid and admittedly didnt end up doing that.

im self harming semi frequently again but i don’t really know what to do. there’s a bit of a break in between when i self harm, so i dont know if it counts as actively self harming and i dont really know how to explain it. i am trying to stop, im just not always successful at it so idk if the fact that im trying to stop would make me sound like ive got it all sorted. im not really in crisis and im rarely actually upset when i do it so im having trouble actually explaining it, it feels like im very regular apart from the self harm (obviously not the case lol but its making it really hard to tell somebody). they asked me why i do it and i genuinely have no idea, i feel like im just a blank individual when they speak to me. it makes me feel really silly when they have to contact you asap because you’re a risk to yourself

sorry i have no idea if any of this made sense lol but i just really have trouble explaining myself. i just really want to know how i can explain myself better when i dont know any of the answers. it feels like they expect me to understand everything about myself its making it hard to speak about it. would it be worth speaking to the talking therapy service and would this situation sound like something they can help with? so sorry if this sounds like a silly question i just have no experience with them lol!

hi. i really struggle just sitting down and doing uni work and i was wondering if anyone had any tips that had worked for them. ive cut down on social media usage as i used to waste a lot of time on Instagram etc but honestly now i just daydream and zone out even when its unintentional 😭 i feel like my body does anything to avoid it. I procrastinate a lot and im def someone that focuses best under pressure but it always means my uni work gets affected so i really want to stop doing so. does anyone have any advice?
