Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am sure this must be really difficult. Has anything happened in the recent past?

Hey why do you have to fake it. Be your own self as in the end it will be you who will suffer but not others. everyone is fighting their own battle, you should try to be yourself and don't worry about what others will think.

Lots has happened to be honest. I lost a job I loved to covid. But took the opportunity to go back to school and pursue interior design. It's summer now and I've been looking for design/decor related work. I found a job and lost it to covid. Found another and lost to covid again. I've had 10 interviews in the past 8 weeks. My boyfriend is wonderful and has been helping financially but I used to make so much money and be so independent, and I feel like such a burden I try to cry quietly while he sleeps. All this stress has also caused so much weight gain it's just another thing I feel like I'm losing control of. Im extremely active and I'm usually working out a lot but I feel so dead inside I can barely get out of bed.

I see, this must have been really difficult, Covid has impacted us all in a very negative way, but you will be back on track, keep trying. I am glad you have someone as your emotional support as well, Okay I understand you are not happy with your body right now, have you been doing anything about it? See this happens when you give up hope on yourself, you know that you will get back in shape, start with the smallest effort and appreciate yourself that you did something for yourself.
