@Saarah @Keyblade Viking Thank you fo replying! I filed a privacy complaint and youtube has just informed me that they will delete the videos. @Neill If you could really hack that, that would be cool but it won't be necessary anymore. Thanks for offering your help.

Anyone here that has overcome chronic overeating? I've been struggling with this for all my life (18 years) and it's absolutely draining me. I could use some advice from people who have faced this as well.

@Kelley White Thank you for answering. emotions I feel before eating: hopelessnes, lonliness, boredom, depression or just unawareness (that I eat out of habit). It is definitely an unhealthy craving as I usually do not overeat when I manage to eat something healthy. I do however still feel the 'lack of fullnes' I'll check dialectic therpay and her books out! @Philip Thank you, that's great advice. I believe I probably also have similar limiting beliefs around food that I got from childhood. As for the visualization: I have tried this every once in a while in the past but it didn't really seem to work. But if it does for you, that's great! @piotr I'm going to try that walking exercise!

@Clay Curl Could you share which pills you take?

Can anyone offer me advice for how to deal with my chronic pain. It is really depressing and energy draining. My doctors can't do anything for me now. Can anyone recommend alternative medicine methods that might work? Hypnosis has given me mixed results but I'm not very good at it...

I've been suffering from depression for years now and I'm only eigtheen. I also have social anxiety and depersonalization as well as eating disorders and suicidal thoughts (not very seriously but they appear in my mind from time to time). I've told my parents this (except the suicidal thoughts) and have been going to a psychologist however I still think that they don't take it very seriously. When I ask for their help in eating healthier they say they will but they basically don't do shit, I try to control my diet as much as I can but most of it is in their hands and they keep serving horrible foods (standard western diet) that are only making my depression worse. When I point this out to them they just get mad and start to argue with me untill I loose my shit and basically want to shout like a maniac. My dad especially also drinks every day from dinner until he goes to bed so the arguments are an incoherent mess and its even more frustrating. This is just one example of many.

@Kelley White I don't know if another psychologist would be the best thing to do. I've only been there a handful of times and it is my impression that it might get better since we are still just getting to know each other. As of no I can think of no real benefit from the sessions except, perhaps, a slight sence of relieve. As for the plan, it's vague, I don't really have concrete steps to take.

@Simon Zackrisson Ive been going once a week for the last 5 weeks to my psychologist but i don't get the feeling we are making much process. About the meds, i dont know, I'd rather not. And thanks for the videos! @Dhana Choko I'm in a very fragile state of mind right now, and them not taking me seriously and (subconsciously) sabotaging me are making my situation worse. @Kelley White My psychologist has'nt advised much, I don't really like her. She has made an appointment for me with a psychiatrist. Even if I wanted a family session - which I dont - it wouldn't happen because they don't even acknowledge that there is a problem. I don't have my friends (social anxiety) so going to live in my own place is not an option right now. I don't have any money either and no time to get a job (I'm already struggling with my tests in school). As of now I can only plan. I don't sleep very well, I hate school so I don't really have a lot of time-outs. As for the support programs - it's not like my dad is violent or anything; but when he's drunk it's just another problem. And thanks. I wish you all the best as well.

@shouldnt Thank you! that site is excellent!

@Abeo Maria Thank you, this is wonderful advice. I had never heard about emotional detachement before but I'm definitely going to expirement with it for my eating disorder. I was wondering if there are any books in particular that have helped?

There are so many people on this forum and other personal development forums that seem to have amazing discipline and are working hard on their dreams. I see people with incredible fitness, people who are reading a lot, people that are immersing themselves in a topic (music, painting, business,...). Meanwhile I can't even work as much as the average person even thought I'm ambitious. I want to do so much and I'm still young but how do i work hard, follow through and die without regrets of wasted time? What is your secret?

@TruthSeeker ^this. I'm incredibly excited by the things I see myself accomplishing if I could just do the work, put in the hours and get the job done. But I'm struggling to even keep up with my day to day tasks. I know it must somehow be possible since so many people do reach some of their goals such as fitness, instrument etc... I would be really grateful to anyone that can help me out.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to fall in love with the grind that is the deciding factor between succes and failure? All I read is people saying to "just fall in love with it" but forcing yourself to love something sounds very contradictory to me. For example i'm in the process of starting to learn guitar and music to make a career out of this but I'm already 18 and even though I love music with a passion I can't shake the feeling that I'm wasting all the hours I'm putting into it.

Hello everyone, so i've been wanting to change into a healthy diet for a while now because I'm eating a very unhealthy diet at the moment. I decided the best way to change is by changing one meal at a time into something extremely healthy. After i get used to the change (after a week maybe?) I will then change my second meal and third and so forth teaching my taste buds to enjoy healthy food in the proces. So my question is: what do you suggest for a healthy energizing breakfast?

Thanks, that sounds delicious!

Thank you, that's some great advice. Don't know yet if I'll be able to do everything but we'll see...

@Dhana Choko You're right but the problem is that I still live with my parents and brother and they all eat very unhealthily even if I point it out to them. I also have an eating disorder which makes it extremely difficult for me to eat healthy consistently. Something like supplements I can at least control and when I move out next year I'll have full control over my entire diet but honestly I just want the pain to go away as quickly as possible. I'm still going to try to follow your advice on exercise, meditation and sleep tho.

Hello everyone, i've been struggling very hard with developing a strong work ethic. Now i'm not a hard worker at all, but i'm very ambitious and it is quite frustrating. If there are people further along the journey of self improvement that could provide some tips?

@Leo Gura @Baby @Scarlett_A Thank you all so much for answerig. I'm going through some brutal, dark times right now and having so many positive people offering support is really wonderful. I'll try to follow all your suggestions, however I was wondering if you might know if there are supplements that I can take that help battle chronic pain?

I'll try this out, thank you.

@Ayla Thank you for answering. I will look into that, i've also been reading books on food and fixing my diet. Could you elaborate on this? I'm pretty new to spirituality etc, so i'm not sure how to interpret/apply this.
