About Me
I like myself, but I have a bad habit of being self-deprecating both inside my head and when I talk to others. I think this strange combination of pride in myself and my accomplishments with my continuous stream of self-deprecation is sabotaging my well-being. My personal goal is to change the way I think through cognitive therapy. I want to find others in this group who want to fight against the negativity in their lives.

clovis hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Healthy Eating
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I used to be really good about consistent exercise -I loved how I felt and I also liked my appearance because I was so much more trim and fit. The past two years I've slowed my exercise regime to maybe once a month. I'd like to get back to having a healthy life and eating well is important in achieving this goal.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Although, I slip up on this one (last night -pizza) for the most part avoiding fast food has really helped me feel good about myself. I feel better just physically but also mentally.
Open ADHD / ADD
Best friend is ADHD and so is her son. Love them very much and would like to keep abreast of ADHD news and medicines.
