Pain and depression

I suffer with pain daily. I manage to do daily activities, at a diminished capacity. It is very frustrating to not be able to do what I want. That is where the depression comes in. I have let go of my former self, but still wish I could be the way I was. I struggle with my weight and being social.

Hi @Wow5824, I appreciate your openness in sharing your experiences. It's evident that you're navigating through challenging circumstances, and I commend you for managing your daily activities despite the pain.

It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when faced with limitations, especially when they impact your ability to do what you once enjoyed. Remember, every step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to your strength and resilience.

The fact that you're engaging in some form of activity is commendable and speaks volumes about your commitment to your well-being. The tailored guidance provided by the EXI app will offer support at a level that's comfortable for you, if it gets too hard you can restart the programme which will start at week 1 and help build up physical activity at a low intensity.

As you continue your journey, please know that you're not alone. We're here to support you in your physical activity journey. I sincerely hope that the resources provided through the EXI app contribute positively to your progress. Keep moving forward, and remember to celebrate each achievement along the way.
