Happy New Year @camuel! You are absolutely not a failure for doing what you think is best for yourself in your situation, good on you for being brave and honest to yourself <3
December for me, especially the last 2 weeks, had some really low moments too. It helped me tremendously by practising gratitude, as much as I could.
I came upon this challenge to support mental health through exercise just last night and love the idea, and the name of course, you should go Red with me this month ;)
Thanks for the kind response Erica. I really appreciate it. I'll take a look at that Red link now. Interestingly, I when I spoke a bit in the video about not using the tools I have, that includes exercise. I mentioned at the consultation with the doc that I know from experience what I could be doing to help myself, but I'm not doing any of that stuff. That's where the meds come in, to give me a push back towards helping myself again. Gratitude's a good one - my daughter helps me with that in ways I'd not have even thought about!
It's not easy to do what you know is good for you, when you're in that state. But it always helps to motivate if you know someone else is doing it with you!
So if you're up for the exercise challenge, I'm happy to be your Red buddy, and check in with your progress every day!!! Let me know :)
