My health, home situation and mental health are at all time lows. I try to be a health conscious person, but I find myself distracted given my obligations at home and given some bad habits. I babysit which means I'm often times indoors and occupied. Going outside is crucial for me. Going outside gets me to be active by walking and running. Going outside makes me eat less often. Going outside improves my overall mood which in turn makes me more likely to stick to my goals. Going outside gives me the opportunity to go outside and buy food consciously to aid in my health improvement journey. Going outside gets me losing weight which in turn makes me less insecure about my appearance which has gotten in the way of my going outside.
Some bad habits I have consist of sleeping late, overeating, eating too quickly, not drinking enough water, spending too much time on the internet and playing video games, and eating high sugar content foods.
Things that I can improve on are eliminating those bad habits from the second paragraph and getting up early before I have to babysit to go out to buy food and exercise.
Things that I can't fix immediately are the fact that most of my time is spent inside babysitting and that my sleep has been horrible as a result of something out of my control that requires medical attention. The whole process of getting appointments is another issue itself - appointments being scheduled months down the road, not being able to see specialists because primary care physicians don't refer me, specialists not treating the issue, etc.
I would appreciate any kind of support whether it be friends to talk to, advice for improving my health or insights about life.
I can't stand my situation right now, so while part of me just wants to give up, another part tells me that I should at least try even though I feel like my life is over because I might as well try to make things better to see what may come.
