[STORY] Update: I have 32 more days to fix my life.

Submitted by itslexibicth t3_11rbxvs in GetMotivated

It hasn’t been very long but enough has happened to warrant an update. My mental health is still not great but I start a program tomorrow that I’ve been waiting on for a while. My parents and I are on good terms, more or less. Last time we talked about it, my stepmom told me I was on the right track. I’ve yet to be able to incorporate regular exercise into my day. It really is a battle every day to get out of the house and to school, but I guess I’m doing it. I hope things get a little easier soon.

A journey of 1000 steps begins with one. Every step forward is progress. No matter where you are on your journey, talking about it is a big step. Congrats! Keep going forward!

Keep at it buddy ✊ you are worth it. 🫡 some of us will be cheering you on from the side line because we mean you to do good. When some of us see others do something, it’s like laying the ground. NO pressure to you of course, I just mean to say, please don’t feel alone, we are with you.

Glad you’re finally getting into that program. Do what you can every day, and call it a victory. Some days are easier than others, but never stop trying.

I hope that you truly understand and grasp that no one in this life has a “fixed life”. We all have stuff we battle, problems we face, and no matter how polished and pretty it looks on the outside, the truth on the inside is disgusting.

I say this to only say “you’re not alone”. You’re not the only one with a messed up life..most of us are all, in some degree, right there with you. Keep up the good fight, friend.

So I do dance classes. If I book a class I'm much more likely to go. I don't go every day, 3 time a week. It's alot of fun. I'm not great at motivation if I have to do it myself.

Maybe try booking something that interests you. Karate, roller skating, or any kind of random thing.

You have your whole life to fix your life. Bad things happen. And that’s okay. It may not seem like it at the time but some failures set us up for success even if it doesn’t look like it. Struggle comes and goes no matter how severe or minor they may seem. It’s how you deal with the struggles that will dictate the course of your life. You got this.

Is there any help or support we could provide?

If it was only 1 day, what would you change tomorrow? Don’t tell anyone, they don’t matter, and just do it… know you can. You always have a choice. Always.

Ngl your stepmom seems like she’s putting unnecessary pressure on you. An ultimatum for someone in your position is not right

If you get 1 percent better everyday, you’ll be surprised on how much you came. Little steps exponentiate

I have a page from an old journal that I titled how to crawl out and stay out of a depression hole… anytime I notice something motivate me, put me in a good mood, or whatever, I’ll list it as a reminder for myself.

I pick what resonates with me at the time and do it. Maybe it’s crying and petting my dog, angrily throwing water balloons at a tree, remembering how far I’ve come and what I’m grateful for now, or my fav… going for a drive with super loud music.

At the end of the day, do what you can do to be as content as you can. Good luck with your program and stay strong! 💪 YOU GOT THIS!!

So you realize if this ever actually makes it to anyone's front page, that they will never know what the actual fucking story is? Why am I even

It would probably have taken you less time to click OP's username and read their previous post via their profile than it did to type this comment.

Nah, to be honest I didn't even bother. Every single time I've tried to do that, I gave up because it was ridiculously buried in their intolerable post history. Idk how you expect me to actually take that time out of my day for a random fucker.
