Someone help me out, what’s the sub where people post inspirational fitness progress? OP needs to scroll through that and get inspired that she is not destined to be 300 lbs, and that with dedication and focus, she can change her life

EDIT: found it, it’s r/progresspics

I'm sorry this happened to you!

When my friends and I were in the dating scene we would: -share screenshot of the person's profile/pic(s)

  • share location
  • send a text when we changed locations or were how safe

We would even offer to call after a certain time which would give the other person an excuse to bounce.

Maybe we took too many precautions but dating can be scary. You don't know who is kind vs a predator.

I'm glad you met up in a public place tho! I see too many stories of people meeting at their homes.

One of the many perks of being rich is you don’t have to attach strings when being generous to someone you want to help. Let her feel good about herself, unless accepting her help is truly causing you anguish.

If you need to, think of it as you doing her a favor by letting her share something she wants to share with you. I can guarantee you it makes her feel good to share with you.

Have you ever heard the idea that ruminating on the past is depression and ruminating on the future is anxiety?

It sounds like you may suffer from depression and anxiety. Skin picking is called dermatillomania or excoriation disorder - it comes under the umbrella of anxiety and compulsion. But great news - there’s help for this! Today is a new day and a great day to start making positive changes. Schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and start your journey to health & well-being.

I also recommend finding some self-help podcasts that resonate with you. One that I find personally helpful is Christine Hassler’s Over It and On With It
