Hi Rachel!

First off, you should never feel like you should lose weight to feel pretty. Unless you are unhealthy than you should not have to feel like you need to lose weight.

Now, about your MCI. I recommend you read and write more to keep your mind active. You could be low on vitamin d which can cause a lot of cognitive issues. So you may want to get your blood tested just to make sure.

I also recommend getting out more in general, if you don't. Staying indoors could be the whole problem.

Hope you feel better

Thank you for the encouragement. I just always feel so lazy because im overweight and i never take good care of myself my parents do. And i also have anxiety about dying in my sleep at night, been having that problem since March 2015. But my mom has comforted me in the process.
