There's also just something about him treating this all serious like that makes me feel uncomfortable and is making me want to not go to session tomorrow. He said something today about this being a "mental health crisis" and that I'm at risk, I guess of hurting myself. I don't understand why when someone starts to take me seriously and suggest serious solutions it makes me want to back away quickly. I have no idea what to do about work or any of this. |

I would like to virtual reality devices given out with treadmills then you can choose "where" you walk like along an never ending beach, or forest trail or country side you could heve whatever you want in it.

I suggest downloading the peloton app and trying the free trial. There is a facebook page for app users (although the android app is not as good as the apple one I hear - it is also available on amazon through the firestick and maybe on the kindle if you have one). They have walks as short as 10 min and a wide range of instructors and music choices. And it is free (I did not even have to give a credit card # or anything when I tried it) for 30 days I think (during the height of pandemic hooha I think it was 90 days - I don't know if they have gone back to 30 or not). I use it on my elliptical - you can modify their chattered instructions any way you like and while I ignore it - I think you might like some of the content of their chatter. I also find their roller stretches quite useful

There's also an iFit app that's tied to Nordictrak treadmill that my H got--not sure if they also offer a free trial. If so you could have two months of free trials (one then the other).

Oof. I'm not gonna see J until Wednesday. I got my four hours of studying in today but it was a heck of a struggle. For some reason I've been missing my parents and worrying about them dying (I think it's because I didn't take my MAOI for a few weeks and the lack of meds is making me anxious--I restarted it a few days ago). I'm feeling crappy and alone.

Hugs for everyone who is hurting.
The girls and I made empanadas today, and similarly to when I make spaghetti, there's enough for a small army. Come for dinner! I did something I'm very ashamed of today, and I'm having trouble coming to terms with the guilt. I probably need therapy! (Never going back, but it would be the only productive thing to do in this situation.) |

I didn't quite figure out the app yet that they suggest. But I did try the 'weight loss' preprogrammed workout that is part of the treadmill, and set it for 15 minutes. it was kinda fun actually cuz it changes incline and speed at intervals starting out at .5 mph to warmup and then gradually getting up to 4 mph (I was almost running lol) and then back down. a little over a half a mile in 15 minutes. I am going to try getting up 15 minutes earlier tomorrow and doing that same thing, before i shower see how it affects my mood the rest of the day. I gots to do something.

I am ridiculously annoyed that “elven” is not on the word list in today’s NYT Spelling Bee.
(Neither is villein, but I didn’t expect it to be.) |

"Elven" seems like a pretty basic word, even though the spell checker here doesn't like it. |

If you have somewhere to rest your tablet, Artie, then there are virtual walks on YouTube...maybe they'd work as treadmill rides?

Meds are also a great option for many people. If you have serious depression and haven't tried medication, you are likely doing yourself a disservice. Getting the medical and psychological treatment you need could be a good start on the path to being kinder to yourself. We're all rooting for you here! Maybe taking a little break from life to get on a different treatment track could make things easier for you overall. |
