Out of high school, I was a normally sized teenager who was generally underweight, if anything. I was about >!50 kg!< as a 5'7" male. But over the past 10 years, I've been steadily gaining weight to the point im about >!110kg!< (I think that's somewhere around >!250lbs!<).

I just have no off switch when I eat, I could demolish an entire pizza in a minute and then ask for seconds. Only to suffer the symptoms of over eating. I frequently eat to the point im physically ill or uncomfortable.

Sometimes, I get these debilitating cravings for food when im not even hungry, and im spending way too much money on food that it impacts my personal life and mental health.

I then get the most extreme guilt about how I've been eating, so I started going to the gym, but the instructor had to tell me too slow down because I was going way to hard for someone of my skill level and weight. I ended up getting so physically unwell from the exertion that I was unable to do basic tasks for months.

My social life is almost non-existent thanks to my body image. I only talk to my girlfriend , who is my only source of support.

I hope my dr can get me the help I need, im tired of living like this. My dad bullies me for my weight, and that just made it worse.

How can I encourage my dog to enjoy wearing clothes? She's a rescue and has extreme anxiety due to the way she was treated.

I have to force her to wear clothes during the autumn and winter because my town is way too cold for her breed.

I have brought her a fresh winter jacket and dog shoes because there was a suprise snow storm last year (im 27 and have never seen snow prior), and I was caught off guard not knowing dog shoes existed.

How can I make the process of putting shoes on more comfortable for her. And how can I encourage her not to destroy them as she will need them if snow happens again this year.

Im somewhat Bi but not into the traditional male archetypes (i dont have a better word to use to describe what im thinking) like twink, or bear or himbo. And like the only place I see non-traditional male archetypes that are hot is regrettably porn.

I feel like a lot more men would be comfortable being Bi if there was media that depicted sfw sexy men that aren't a giga muscled hunk. Like, I think athletic dudes who are bit chubby are way hotter than dudes whose pecs are bigger than my head. I feel like every shirtless dude in media is a hey dude. You should aspire to look like this rather than a hey, dudes can look like this and be hot.

If I was asked to describe my perfect woman, it would be easy because all you see in media is incredibly hot women. But if you said describe your perfect man, I'd be like, ahhhh i saw this really hot dude once, but I can't describe him because it's been a few months.

Anyways that's my rant. Feel free to disagree. The can men be sexualised video started this feeling. Haven't finished the video, so don't spoil plz.

First of all, I wanna acknowledge my privilege: I was fortunate enough to be offered a government led program to help people with severe mental health conditions to get back into education or work. And my parents, while they haven't been understanding they have financially supported me through treatment.

I got diagnosed at 18 years old with schizophrenia and while I didn't have the worst schizophrenia I struggled with hallucinations, both auditory and visual, sometimes tactile. I also completely socially shut down and suffered from secondary depression and anxiety disorder.

Im 27 now and have about a year's left of university. While im not the first schizophrenic to get a bachelors, it will be a huge achievement. Im even planning on an honours.

Im approaching the 3rd year anniversary with my girlfriend, and im regaining my ability to be social. I can even make eye contact with people now.

I just got my foot in the door, which might lead to my first ever job, thanks to doing hours of volunteer work every week.

I have friends again. While we dont do much outside of uni, it's great to have people you talk to on a daily basis.

I got my own dog, and she's basically my best friend. Her name is Artemis, but she also goes by tiny tim and Little One. We basically saved each other's lives.

Thanks to meds, I only struggle with hallucinations when im stressed. Side effects aren't great, but they've led to me doing better. And I dont think a cult is trying to crucify me anymore.

Lastly, for the last month, I've basically gone from feeling like nothing works to reporting a different win to my therapist every week.

So my advice to all the young schizophrenics out there is to not let anyone tell you life is on a timer. Take your time and do the little things that lead to your success. Because you will succeed if you want to.

I can't stop crying. Everything makes me super emotional. I told my girlfriend that id be okay if she ever left me because Id never be able to support her with schizophrenia because im so emotional and its messing with my head. My girlfriend described whats happening as menopause or a period where your hormones are out of whack. Im a guy why is this happening to me.

I feel like I want to die but I wont act on it, because I wanna go to the Celtic festival tomorrow.

Ive been crying for hrs straight. This is so messed up

So my gf and her friends, which include trans femmes, think im an egg. Idk what an egg is i just know it's trans related.

They say its because of things like I wear my gfs dresses and skirts, and that im really soft and gentle. And all the good men are secretly eggs, and they dont know it yet. Also, they keep saying that because you play a girl in video games.

My gf told me that the way I talk, im super uncomfortable about myself, which is true, but idk if that constitutes being an egg, whatever that is.
