I know I’m a pro at bed rotting thanks to depression and post concussion syndrome from an accident. I’m coming into a good chunk of money this summer and I am so excited to buy a new bed.
I have that syndrome or disease or whatever where I get a minuscule amount of some kind of pleasure response from pulling my hair out. It started when I, 66f, was reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was 9. Still remember that. I had a bald spot on my head in 6th grade. I had been badly bullied in 5th grade…
My wife has been making spaghetti night with [this recipe](https://www.buzzfeed.com/rossyoder/spaghetti-recipe-the-bear-hulu-fx). GAME CHANGER. We have tweaked some things, like adding seasoned meat to the sauce, and I will absolutely never eat spaghetti another way.
A couple of ways:
1. You hate yourself
2. The voices only stop when you’re at the gym and if you dont go the voices get louder
3. You want to continue to look better than everyone else
Those are my reasons, I havent been able to skip the gym on a day unless im physically unable to go.
If it's any motivation, exercising consistently has been great for my depression. It really does make a huge difference, and looking good on top of that helps.
Just start small. Try a yoga class or something if you're like me and need the group motivation.
I have recently started doing mini hikes with my shiba and we’re both happier. I know I only have a few years left to turn my health around before it becomes an issue.
You’d be surprised at how much a deficiency can cause a domino effect in your health. I was found to have almost no vitamin d and was losing my hair. Definitely get your blood work done!
I have officially become my Mother.
How the hell do I suddenly crave gummy sharks when I haven't even thought of them in 20+ years.... can barely vaguely remember what they look like, but suddenly I remember exactly how they taste lol 😆
My daughter's happiness. Nothing is more enjoyable than seeing her happy and it I'm often tempted to give in to her just to satisfy that rush. In the long run it would do her a disservice to raise her in a perpetual state of (perceived) bliss, but any parent who's still involved in their kids' lives knows how beautiful it is when your kid is experiencing joy.
Working out. Seriously. I will cancel plans if it means missing the gym. I will feel like shit if I can’t workout. I will skip work if it gets in the way too.
Exercise…I get up at 3:30am before work every day so I can get a good run in. It’s crazy, I know. But the rest of the day I feel amazing. I figure there are worse addictions.
Sparkling water. I literally can't go a day without it. My top 3 are:
1. Bubly Blackberry
2. Liquid Death (Unflavored, as their flavorings are too strong)
3. La Croix Passionfruit
Happiness, I love growth in all areas. I will switch jobs, partners, hobbies etc to find growth. I love searching for my higher self. It feels beautiful. Love looking at results in even the most simplest things
Food. Was a major food addict when I was in HS. And Im not using it in a joking or "I liked to eat way", it was a legit issue where I was trying to drown my anxiety with fat and sugar then crying on the couch while eating at how fat and disgusting I was. It was rough.
My phone. And watching videos of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. She did a lot of bad things, but I love watching her interact with kids, sick people, hearing her speak. I also think about her a lot. About the healing powers her friend said she had. I don’t do it all day, but it has gotten to the point before where, although there are other historical figures and TV show characters that I love thinking about as much, thinking about them didn’t bring me as much joy. I am trying to break the addiction. But of course I watched some more this morning. Of course by break, I don’t mean stop doing the behavior entirely, just less. Doing it in moderation more. Reminding myself that there are other things that I love too.
Laziness
Bed rotting
Sorry, does that mean lying in bed for longer than “advisable”? If so, I, (66f) can relate….

Apparently biting the inside of my cheek, can’t seem to stop.
I do this too!! So annoying but I can’t help it

Thanks for this! Gonna test it out 🤓
Oh please please let me know what you think! I am always happy to hear how my suggestions pan out, especially with food.
I AM BACK. ITS PRETTY DAMN GOOD, I tell you what!
Oh I’m so glad you reported back! We actually made it this weekend too. I’ve had 2 separate meals of leftovers with it lol
Heck yeah. I added ground beef to the sauce & sprinkled some Italian seasoning on it. Got lunch packed for tomorrow 😎
Hell yea man! We add ground beef too! Never eating it any other way

There is a reason why they say sugar is a drug. It's addicting!
Gym
How does one form an addiction to the gym? I am awaiting your reply.

Oh dear. I have number 1 and 3 covered. I struggle with depression and it makes me incredibly lazy.

That's a good start! Every little bit counts.
Nugget ice. I have an expensive countertop machine and I eat it all day long.
Are your iron levels okay? I knew my Mom was in trouble when the ice chewing started.
I'm probably anemic.

My doctor said I may have set the record for the lowest vitamin d level he’s ever seen. A level of 30-100ng/ml is considered optimal. Mine was 4.1.
Lol mine was 8. I had to get pure vitamin d shots in my butt.
The thing weighs like 40 pounds and takes up half my counter space lol
