I hate this disorder so much. I second guess everything I do or say or think until I’m paralyzed with fear or sadness.

I’ve always been a bit of a risk taker when it comes to my hair; short of shaving it off I’ve done basically everything a person can do with their hair, chopped it off, grew it out, and dyed it just about every colour under the sun.

My anxiety has been overwhelming lately so I figured why not try something new to shake off the shadows for a while.

Of course it didn’t turn out the exact way I wanted but I kind of liked it once it was done, flash forward to now where I’m laying in bed, unable to sleep because my brain keeps screaming at me about how stupid my hair looks.

It’s hair!! I can buy another colour and fix it tomorrow but somehow my anxiety riddled brain has just about convinced me that anything short of perfection is a disgusting moral failing.

I’m so tired of my brain being such an asshole and ruining everything that could possibly give me joy.

Help! I need recommendations for exercise classes/work outs/something other than hanging around my apartment all day.

I’m out of shape and I hate it. But every time I’ve tried going to the gym or following some YouTube exercise routine I always end up giving up.

I have asthma and loose ligaments (my doctors are exploring the possibility of Ehlers Danlos) and I also have supremely shitty ankles so running/hiking isn’t great and I always manage to push myself too hard doing yoga and end up hurting myself (What do you mean the human body isn’t supposed to move like that? Wait, why am I in so much pain?)

I take my dog for a walk around the block twice a day (10 ish minutes each) but not much else.

I’ve been interested in things like archery, pole dancing, even axe throwing in the past but there aren’t many specialty gyms near me and unfortunately I don’t think my landlord would approve of me installing a stripper pole in my living room.

Any suggestions on specific exercises or even ways to stick with a fitness routine would be much appreciated.

I’m just starting to learn ASL and I’ve been wondering about nouns as names and which signs apply.

For instance: my dog’s name is Wednesday, would I finger spell her name or use the sign for the day of the week?

Other examples would be Summer, Faith, Lily, etc.
