“I just feel bad a lot”
My name is Caroline, I’m an 11 year old middle schooler from Medicine Hat and times are tough. No beating around the bush, and I’m not handling it very well. I seem to be coping with it by eating very unhealthy and isolating myself from others to play video games.
But I think I’m getting better, just recently I made myself supper and I would say it was fine. Perogies and veggies. Not bad. But I feel really, really bad whenever I eat anything unhealthy so I just feel bad a lot. I have a terrible habits of motivation.

Oh Caroline, I’m sorry to hear this. I think you are likely not alone! It is a hard time for a lot of people. Try not to be hard on yourself. If you can accept that it is hard for many people, maybe that will make you feel better about having a difficult time? Maybe make a list of the things that that make you feel good – maybe it’s learning how to make a salad from fresh ingredients, or listening to a great podcast, or just going for a walk in your neighbourhood, and start doing them one at a time? Small things sometimes add up to big things. As you get more motivated you can add goals, and harder tasks for yourself. But start small. Cheering you on Caroline!
