So I have a different problem (reconstructed joints due to trauma), but joint related never-the-less.

My thought process is that I’m still in what should be my athletic prime and I’ll likely be a healthier individual later on in life by pushing myself as hard as possible now. I do try to keep that framing in my mind so that, if I ever feel uncomfortable to the point of potential injury, I’ll have the long term mindset to pull up if it’s in my benefit.

At the end of the day, we aren’t professional athletes and while it’s great to hit a PR in the short term, you’ll be more likely to hit higher lifetime PRs by staying healthy while consistently working at a reasonably difficult intensity.

Mods mods mods + prehab exercises + listening to my problem joints.

Know the difference b/w good pain and bad pain. Stop when you feel bad pain.

Genuinely curious: how often do you feel truly happy/enthusiastic in your daily life? What exactly makes you happy? I hesitate to self diagnose w “high functioning depression” but I have all the hallmarks. I have no interest in previous hobbies; picked up new ones & got bored very quickly; and though I’m still productive in my job, have friends/a SO—I don’t remember truly feeling happy/excited in a long time. I met therapists who asked me if I think others feel happy/excited all the time(cont

Has anyone on here suffered with scalp psoriasis and had success treating it? I've struggled with it for a few years, and I found that the last few months it has just gotten horrible.

It's getting embarassing and not sure what to do other than medication which I've heard can cause hair loss. I've tried ACV rinses and tea tree oil, but no real results.

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.
