I've decided it's finally time to stop just existing and start living. The past year has included just about every stressful event you can think of, and I deserve to get through it all to the other side.
Severe health anxiety is my main issue right now, with many necessary lifestyle changes needed to give me a longer life. Looking for support when the going gets rough.

Good for you I wish you the best & wish I had the courage to make the changes. My mind tells me to & it's ready but just can't find the energy motivation or determination to do it.
Nobody who doesn't live it with doesn't understand & says just get on with it, or your CHOOSING this because you can change it if you wanted.
It is the getting started that is the hardest. For me it was the fear of the unknown and I was scared that I would fail, but when I started I felt so much better.
Doesn't have to be a huge change, just small changes to start with are good.
You can do this and if you have someone to help encourage you and be there for you it will be easier.
Take care, I would be interested in hearing how you get on.
Good on you to decide to make the changes. It is tough going, but well worth the effort.
Take it one day at a time. Find someone who you trust to support you along this path of change. Don't change too much at a time and if you have a bad day or a set back, remember that there is always tomorrow.
I would and still do get very annoyed with myself when I have set backs, but I am learning that there is always tomorrow. I find my journaling is good for letting me see where I was months ago and where I am now.
If you want to know what I have done them you can always send me a PM. I've spoken alot on here in replies to other posts about some of the things I've tried.
Take care and good luck with the changes. I know you can do it.
U have my support. U got a good plan! I want 2 do the same but the fear! Anxiety is a big problem 4 me too. Always since I can remember. Maybe ur influence of wanting to live and not just exist will rub off.
