How do you get out of a bad cycle. I feel I am constantly doing this. I'll feel sad, sorry for myself then hate my looks, cry that I don't have a girlfriend. Then talk to t gives my some advice I feel empowered and happy. Do the gym go out a couple times, then I look at myself and say damm I'm never gonna get a girl being this fat and then I either a) get motivated and go to the gym or b) start the cycle again. And as regards to motivation that too drops in time and I'm sad again.
Any advice? Only best advice I got was iop. My friend on here said I should. Two sessions ago when I was down my t said do it. Then when I was happy and saw my pdoc said it's not necessary and t agreed said I sound better. My mantra of everything is a choice only lasts so long then I give up and sad cycle begins.

You should try IOP if it's still an option. What things are you into that you can meet people doing?

Mma use to enjoy it but now it's a chore to go although at home I always do those moves. Weight lifting, alternative sports. Was really hoping to be in a relationship and go skiing/snowboarding. Love jazz music.

The iop I believe is always open, but definitely now with two jobs and all this holiday running it's not realistic. Probably next month.

I don't know if this is your kinda thing but I enjoy a lot to go to couchsurfing events to meet new people. They come from all over the world and my experience is that they are really open and tolerant. Met a lot of friends there and had the impression that it is not always as superficial as gym or university or whatever other place might be.

Your sanity is most important. Take care of you first and foremost.

You know what helps me? I have a workbook I bought on Amazon called "The Bipolar Workbook" (I have the type 2 workbook) that I read through. I always go back to it and practice the excersises when I'm feeling way too high or low. Take a look at it online... maybe it will help you learn how to stop the circle you're talking about before it starts?

The only thing I do is let myself have my down day, I'm depressed and down on myself and tell myself it's ok to have this day then I get myself up the next day and get showered and go to work, it's not easy and it's taken me some time to get to this. I have to get myself up when the alarm goes off, if I give myself time to think I'll go to that bad place and stay in bed. Mornings are the worst for me...for some it's later in the day that's the struggle. I'm sorry your going through this but I totally understand. Hugs to you
