This is great news! Did you just start or is this just the latest streak? Sound like it is helpful.

I'm meeting with a personal trainer later this week. Might join the gym, but I haven't had good luck in the past. The consensus is that it is helpful and I have experienced this first hand a few times over the years. But the thought of working out at a gym as an old man triggers every anxiety fiber in me.

The hardest thing is that right now I feel like I know how to get better, things that work for me and things that doesn't, I just don't feel like I have the energy to put the work into it right now which feels like a cruel joke. So, for now I just wait, I just hold on, I survive. It's all I can afford.

Welcome back. It sounds like you've made some progress and should remind you to celebrate those small wins. Maybe take a break and recognize the things that have gone well, acknowledge those things that could be better, and be grateful to those who have helped you along your path. Once you come to terms with all that, it's time to push forward with enlightenment and support from those you love. I wish you nothing but the best.
