Some supportive tips when you most need it
What this is
You have either found this place as I may have directed you to it or you were eagle eyed enough to spot the love and click it!
The latter part of my health journey was motivated partly from a difficult time. If you think you're alone, you're not. Here are some of the things I started doing when I didn't know what else to do - all I knew was I wanted to feel better and I was willing to try.
Sometimes it is those of us too proud to ask that lack the support we need when we need it. So if you're here reading, well, why not give my suggestions a try.
Be what you need for others

Think about these daily
Make a list of things you do & people you see. Assign a colour for how you feel before, during and after (traffic light system).
Try to do mostly green (where possible)
Take a mental break from your own struggles and try to help another person who deserves it. A small act. We all need help and so do others too.
Learn and understand a bit more about you
(The first time I did this I felt like for the first time someone fully got me...at 30)
I can't emphasise enough the benefit just moving a little bit more, sleeping better and eating better did for my health. Nothing intense. What you already know is more than enough to get started. Start small and see how it goes. You need to pull the cart to where you want it to go. Remember too, a problem shared is a problem halved - even if you get nothing useful back. Speak to someone if you need to.
