Personal Experiences, Struggles and Setbacks Around Health
Health and wellbeing rarely improve in a straight line. In these stories, people share what they went through while trying to take care of their body or their mind: a fitness routine that didn't hold, a diet that backfired, a recovery that took longer than expected, a complicated relationship with their appearance, or simply the exhaustion of trying to do everything right.
Some stories are about setbacks and frustration, others about small victories. Many ask the same question: is it just me? Reading how others lived a similar situation can make it feel less isolating, and sharing your own can help you put words on it.
These stories are personal experiences and opinions, not medical advice. For a health problem, a doctor or another qualified professional remains the right person to talk to.

More ways to manipulate people on the road
hey there! So lately I've been kinda buggin' about this nagging thought that's been overtaking my brain way more than I'd like. I'm 21, and ever since I was a little girl, my head's been swirling with all sorts of weird rituals and obsessive thoughts. But these days, it feels like they just won't chill out, you know?…
I'm more than sure that I wasn't born for this
Whatever it means
I can do better
I don't know how
But I know deep down that I can do better
I'm tired
Tomorrow I'm telling my doctor the truth because I need help
I can't keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again
I'm tired
I feel like I can't help it
Am I stuck in this fucking pattern forever?
In My Place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed.
How long must you wait for it?

Hey y'all, I’m a 21-year-old just trying to figure out life and navigate my emotions. So, I've been thinking a lot about how sensitive I am. Anyone else feel like they're just way too easily affected by the stuff people say? It seems like whenever someone even hints at criticism or throws a side-eye, I'm over here…
Thank you for the platform that lets me rant my feelings out but I believe it had come to an end. Did it help me at all in my mental health ? No but it lets me rant to thanks. More often than not it wrecks my brain by overthinking but thanks for listening to the drama of my life and I have to move on from this.
This is not a joke. I'm trying to be as serious as I can.
I’ve had a weird relationship with feet for a long time, but it wasn’t until 2018 until I started feeling like it became an issue.
I always had a sense of control with it, but now it just feels like an annoying bad habit.
In more and more places I go to…
