Hey 💙
So, the last month has been pretty wild when it comes to health and wellbeing. I've been on a kind of medication that I have to take at least half an hour before eating or 2 hours after eating, so that has exponentially decreased my motivation to eat in the mornings. However, I have been trying to find motivation in the last couple of weeks and something to look forward to. For example, today I made an omelette during the half hour wait. A few days before I made granola. BUUUT most days I'm skipping breakfast.
Someone yell at me haha
Thanks 💙💙💙
Edit: thanks, MB_

Hihihi, monthly update time!
So... I haven't even needed a good yelling at for the past couple of weeks! In fact, I've probably been eating a little too much. I've just gotten over about a week of nausea and stomach cramps, so in that time I didn't eat much, but now I'm definitely making up for it. Every meal, every day, and I'm doing okay. Was doing okay before the sickness too.
As for drinking - I installed an app on my phone that tracks how much I drink. It's good because it sends little reminders to drink every now and again, and I've been keeping myself decently hydrated for the first time in about 5 years. Things are looking up! Thanks guys. ILY 💙💙💙💙

Uh oh. It's been a while since we last spoke, my dear journal. I've been on a little bit of a mental hiatus from AN, but hopefully I can come back from it now.
Hi. So, I'm still alive which is a start. What I'm not is disciplined about eating. Hit another long depressive episode and I've been struggling through that for a while. Just not motivated to eat. Lately I've been having an average of one and a half meals per day, with maybe a snack in there. It's bad, but it's better than I was. Drinking has been decent. Some days I can drink 4 bottles, others I manage able 100mLs for the entire day. Its kind of a "back to square one" situation where I allowed myself to fall back into habits that would ultimately lead to my detriment,even if eating seems inconvenient.
So, here I am, fallen back on the tried and true method of keeping myself accountable in from of a supportive community who will happily yell at me if I don't do what I should. I will try to post in here an update at least once a week, hopefully once a day or two.
Love y'all, and I'll see you around ❤️❤️❤️
