Hi all! I have a question, since iv been vegan iv had more energy but the last couple of days iv had little to no energy and one day two days ago I spent the whole day barely able to keep my eyes open. Iv been taking a B12 supplement and using my cpap and trying to be as active as possible. It’s also been in the 90s here so I don’t know if it’s heat exhaustion, a vitamin deficiency or what. I have been anemic in the past but not for a long time. Has anyone else experienced this? I wanted to maybe ask you guys and try to save a doctor visit.

PART 3 As hard as it was for me I did it.. 😐 I put my pride aside, mustered up courage and begged my family to help me get a phone 🤦🏽‍♀️ What? 😳 That worked? 😟 YES! That worked! 😃 My family came through for me and I got me a phone and I'm perked up again OUT of that horrific darkness called depression 📛🚶🏽‍♀️‍➡️ and straight into sunshine ☀️ 🙌🏽 wow like that’s all it took. So I learned a hard lesson that it pays to be humble when you seriously need help. If I would’ve been humble from the start and swallowed my pride and asked my family to help me from the jump I would not have revisited that darkness that real enemy called depression So if you fall because of a mishap you may have to be humble, swallow your pride like I had to do just for that moment. Think of a solution that may work even if you have to beg your family or friends to help just work on getting out of whatever that is that is causing the depression and get yourself back up when you good and ready. Is truly refreshing like another new chapter like coming out of a horrific tormenting cave and into sunshine Yea so that's my story lol took me a while to wake up but I’m super proud of myself that I did so much sooner than later; and glad to be back and it feels like home yeeeaaay 🙌🏽 I’m soooo happy now🥲🥲 🥰

PART 2 I started questioning.. What are we doing? Like how is this happening that A THING like a phone can become such a great necessity that if it’s gone you’re gone.. it may spiral you into a deep depression like it did me 😢 I know l needed to get a new phone that would’ve been the answer but I was too poor I couldn’t afford a new phone my life is done even though I was still breathing like woe is me hit rock bottom hard 🤦🏽‍♀️ Ugh when I tell you my depression got worse 😓 all of a sudden I started beating myself up again focusing ONLY on negativity and started abusing myself… 🤦🏽‍♀️ emotionally I started to hate myself.. verbally I started calling myself a loser a good for nothing, a terrible person, a crumb on this earth even a tree is better than me providing oxygen for us, being a home for so many animals, giving us shade when we need it, some even offers us good food.. but me what the hell am I existing for im too poor to do anything, I'm a nothing because I’m so poor 😩 and NO WAY will I beg my family for money that will make me look even MORE pitiful 😡😤🤦🏽‍♀️ But then... I all ofa sudden seeing my cat how protection my cat looked woke me up 😳 "wait" I told myself "no no no no no 🤦🏽‍♀️ I can't do this moping around like this not good for my cat he looks depressed too 😞" I looked around.. not only did I let myself go but my home too it was in a disarray what am I doing 😱 depression means I gave up ON EVERYTHING means I’m not living im just existing. Is that really what I want? 🥺 UGH 😩 I Can’t believe I revisited this horrific dark place and it’s affecting my cat 😭" I bounced back and told myself "I have to do something! I can’t be like this forever NO" 😤 something has got to give 🤦🏽‍♀️ So I decided to muster up courage to do what I did not want to do and it was to humbly beg my family for money to help me get a new phone 😰 [This concludes Part 2; please stay tune for Part 3]

Hello all 👋🏽 🥰 I’ve been absent for a good while and do I hava story to tell 🫣 I feel it’s a lot so I’m breaking my story up into parts 😐 The title of my story is ‘I’m back and it feels like home’ PART 1 I fell off the taking care of my fitness wagon again 🤦🏽‍♀️ Yup I did 😑 all because my phone stopped working.. yup no other reason 🙄 for one it wouldn’t open certain apps this site being one of them, tried to play games to bring my happiness back but it would freeze up or black out, I couldn’t even communicate with anyone because my calls would drop 😤 With my phone not working properly it felt like important parts of my life was cut out 😣 yup that was no life at all for me 😞 so depression set in again. I let myself go 😥 I learned an experience.. that.. the game of life is true you never know what life (that chance card 🤦🏽‍♀️) has in store for you 😒 like that easy things can happen that can bring depression back 😢 THAT EASY 😩 nota good story to tell 😑 but yea I stopped exercising, stopped going out, was eating mostly junk food, fat grew back all around my waist again, fat rolls on my back, cramps on my toes and or legs practically every night, acid reflux came back yo I fell apart THAT QUICK YALL 🤦🏽‍♀️ Now this doesn’t seem normal and shouldn’t be normal but true for me at least that not having that part of your life (the cell 📱) can bring one down into a deep depression 😞 I realized the phone IS a very important part of my life. I mean like I placed so much of my life being, my soul into that phone like all my passions IS IN THAT PHONE 😰 when my phone went out I felt isolated, cut out from the world, alone, sad. With such a feeling yea it’s like my life stopped🧎🏽‍♀️ [this concludes Part1; stay tuned for part 2]
