What I've done to better my self... well to be frankly honest, nothing, my life has been a shit hole since I was 7, ever since then I've been going to see many doctors and other people. Most days I come home from a shit day at school, lock my self in my room, play osu and some other games (Usually RPGs and MMOs) Because of my past, I'm not to trusted with freedom inside my school or the choices I make there as of an attempt I did to well extract my self a few years ago. It's not like I want to stay in school, get GCSE's ETC and move on to work a boring life waltzing around on train platforms, getting on the train causally just to go to work, do work, come back home, sleep; or any bull shit like that (and no, I can't live the life that I want). When it comes to online gaming, that's usually the only place that I feel safe/fit in... for about 8 years now of my life I've been depressed and honestly empty. My problem isn't to do with a falling out with a girl or, losing money or having a really bad family, unlike most problems surrounding depression, my one has no sollution, no end, no relief (No it's not fucking autism or ADHD), and that's why... I haven't and will never be able to do anything to better my self; my only plans are to grow up until I'm 30 maybe then die, that's about all I have planned for life.
Hope you get better dude. Really, just talking about the issues you have I feel is doing something to better yourself, so don't be so hard on yourself.

I started going to the gym, despite it being pretty expensive- with this I've started to drink more water and think more about what I eat.

I've gotten better at spreading my money on more reasonable things.

I think I'm becoming pretty adult...

Im wanting to improve my voice to start getting into voice acting. So I started by quitting on consuming Carbonated Drinks and caffeine altogether. I soon realized I couldn't handle it (-_-). So instead I'm only limiting myself to an occasional carbonated drink and one caffeinated drink a month. I can confirm my voice is a lot more clear now than it ever was.

Hmm...

Having struggled with always being stressed out and busy with something, I forced myself to "meditate" for 30 mins. I wanted to read instead, but I'm so used to reading books for learning, I found it hard to do as a relaxation method. So yeah, I'm doing that for 2 weeks now.

Also decided to go back to osu! after a long break, so now I've got a game that keeps me from thinking too much, so that's also a good thing.
Unfortunately though, outside of osu! or other focus-heavy activities, I still tend to think over my past more often than I'd like, so if anyone has any advice that'd be nice.

I've started to be a little more responsible when it comes to doing things for people or helping people out. I've been a bit more active in trying to go out of my way to do something for someone, though it's a bit hard if it's someone I don't know anything about, unless they ask me first, or unless it seems they're in some trouble.

It hasn't really done anything for what I want to accomplish, but I think it might help me learn to be more generous and open with them, instead of reclusive and cold to them. I tend to come off as "cold", but usually I just am not great at being social, and I typically will be very blunt and candid, and uh... well, I still end up doing so, but I have made some progress.

Maybe it'll make me more approachable.

I started teaching myself Korean language and culture so that I can learn more about my ethnicity. I've also enlisted myself into the Army so that I can serve my country and earn a full scholarship after my service.

Recently I started to pay more attention to studying (unfortunately too late because nearly all the time when I was supposed to studying I was playing videogames and now I can't correct most of my grades). I also restrained playing video games.

I've been dealing with bad headaches and an irritating cough for weeks and decided enough was enough.
I changed lots of things in my life in an attempt to combat these, such as sleeping more, drinking more water and less sugary drinks, eating healthier and going outside more. it also helps me feel more positive overall so I'd say it's working out great so far! :)

Since my health isn't really all that great, I've also started to do exercise occasionally. My lung capacity is still shit, my heart can't handle very much, and my upper body and core strength are all weak as shit, soft as noodles.

Might as well fuck myself up short-term to strengthen myself in the long run.

Seriously, I've been getting aches and pains in certain joints because i don't eat well and is also partially due to sleep deprivation, and since i don't drink milk or consume much dairy, my bones are fucking twigs.

Oof.

Maybe I can get myself in shape and perhaps gain some weight finally. I'm still barely in the triple digits, like 103 lbs or something. Ugh. I really need to start caring for myself more or I might actually have a high probabilitly of having osteoporosis in the future.

I've been eating a bit more so i can try to gain some weight.

I'm currently far too underweight at 94 pounds, 5'6". My body mass index is 15.2, which is pretty much on the severe end.

I also plan to get up and move around a bit more, maybe exercise a little more.

I never intended to be this underweight, and I never really cared about weight in general, I just thought I had a rather slender body frame.

Basically, I'll be making some gradual changes in hopes of being at least a few pounds closer to a healthy weight by the next 6 weeks.

I finally gained some weight.

I weigh about 98 pounds, 5'6".

4 pounds in 2 months. A bit slow, but we're getting there.

I'm working to hopefully reach 100 lbs by the end of the year.

I still need to build up both fat and muscle, and trying to keep myself running without too many issues for a decent amount of time with my jogging unit in PE, in hopes of improving cardiovascular endurance to counter and lower my chances of heart complications later on in life. I'm not doing too well, but I'll keep going at it for however long I can.

I stopped smoking, and picked up a new habit in the form of vaping, which while not perfectly healthy, is supposedly 95% healthier, especially for people quitting smoking. Quite a controversy, that, but I believe what i've read and what i've seen, not to mention I feel just overall better than I have a few weeks prior when I was still smoking cigs.

I started losing weight and started actually getting on top of my problem with spending money and staying motivated. Losing weight has been going well but for some reason, Saving money for me is quite hard. If I see something nice or a sale, my impulse is to buy it haha. Good luck to everyone else with what they're doing!

Exercise and osu! are my coping mechanisms for stress which I started at exactly February 1 of this year. So far the stress I've been experiencing (mostly from education) has been lessened so I guess its a good thing.

i'm only 16 right now so i'm still in school, anyway for me,

i have been getting low grades like 89 below in major subjects especially math. the reason was because i haven't been able to listen to lessons because of my friends, i've became a lot talkative and lost focus in school. i prioritized osu! and social life.

- i distant my self with them, i started with not eating lunch with them and soon requested my sensei to change my seats so i'll be in front. it was successful and got myself higher grades since i became a highschooler.

before i distant myself with my friends, i started to think what will happen to my future.
i plan to become a chem engineer, but with my current grades i knew it won't cut it. i guess this also helped my mind to decide whether i should still have fun at the mean time or just focus on my future.

there have been highs and lows in my life, 2 of my closest friends ended their lives early. they were the ones who praised my arts ever since the beginning, and my girlfriend cheated on me.

it has been 4 months after all of these and i think i'm enjoying this life a bit more than what i expected it to be. i thought it will be really boring without my friends in school. well they sometimes look and laugh at me, when i'm alone and going straight to the library. discord has really been my friend, i've been chatting with other people i met in osu in my server. hope this can help you in some way, i just want to get this out of my chest. :)

l started to study way more for school and I'm doing Physical Education after the half term. l also have a friend.

I suffer with anxiety which is depressingly bad and l isolate myself a lot from people irl. However, I'm now reading aloud sometimes in English class. This, to me, is my biggest ever achievement. Even if me reading is the only time anyone hears my voice.

Started to care a lot more about art too, this year, as in my school coursework and hobby. I've improving with both quite dramatically.

I am an aspiring programmer and am studying in this domain in Cegep (a school unique to Quebec that is between high school and univeristy). But the work we get there are way too simple for me (and many others in my course) so I often do my own code, which are a lot more complex than the teacher asks. Lately I have been coding a game of go in Java and I am also thinking of trying out python and code a maze with it.

I kinda understand the mmo thing. I played alot of them as well and I always came out at the end more depressed and angry then happy and fulfilled. Since I came back to osu after a long hiatus I've found it just more entertaining and less stressful then other type of community drivin games. I'm sure over time it will get more annoying, at least I'm not part of the beat map review team lol. I hear that stuff is crazy stressful.
