hi everyone, sorry if what i say is kinda stupid, but i really want some advice.
(F19, 5’0.5”, 203lbs)

i deal with generalized anxiety disorder and depression. i used to try and make myself feel better by eating when i was younger and i’ve never really had a healthy relationship with food honestly. i started with enjoying it too much, to absolutely dreading waking up for breakfast up until dinner time.

i dont want to turn this into a sympathy post so i’ll just get into it.

i have tried including exercise into my routine with stuff such as walks with my friends to local parks, dancing, and just some general work out routines on youtube (i dont have money for memberships and the thought of working out in front of people makes me want to implode) ive started including healthier foods into my everyday diet, like instead of just a bagel, ill add some fruit with it. or i’ll have more salad with my dinner than i would. i haven’t really noticed any difference, if anything i’ve gained weight.

could someone help me point in the right direction? i dont get very good paychecks from my part time job (im looking for a 2nd) and im starting college so please keep advice poor person friendly lol

hi everyone! this is kind of embarrassing for me to ask because im an adult (20 in july) and i only started birth control 4 weeks ago for the first time ever after talking to my doctor about how bad my cramps were hurting me and basically rendering me basically immobile on some days.

my periods pre birth control were 3 days max, never really going past that. after starting birth control, i finally got my period again and i will say the cramps are less extreme but ive been bleeding for 10 days straight. when do i know when to call my doctor? none of the women in my life are being very helpful so i dont know if this is normal or if i need to be concerned
