Hello Everyone,

I am Svetla, 27 from Bulgaria. I just registered on this website and I feel very enthusiastic about it, I am just about to read it all. Up to my 25th year I used to be in perfect health, I trained a lot yoga, ballet stuff, dancing but then I suffered depression and things changed for me since then. I feel like i am on the way of losing my health because I am not well informed, I lost shape, I gained kilos and now I feel the power and the ambition to change all this, change my lifestyle entirely and I need information on how to do it, and of course support from the right people. I am very communicative and very open so I would gladly meet and talk with any of you on any issues concerning health and common interests.

Greetings from Bulgaria: Svetla

Hello Svetla and welcome to Healthy Pals!

What sorts of things do you like to do for fun over there in Bulgaria? Do you know why you suffered a bit of depression? Everyone goes through it at some point in their lives so it is definitely conquerable! How are you doing with it now?

Hello Tammy:)

In Bulgaria we have very beautiful nature. I like going to the mountains and walking in the park, tomorrow I am travelling with my best friend to Hisar, the cleanest town on the Balkan peninsula to have a week of recreation and sport (swimming and hiking). I also like to have a coffee and hookah in my favourite cafe in Plovdiv, in pleasant company of course.

I suffered depression because I used to deal with experimental physical theatre for five years in Sofia. Acting in it was related to an overdose of emotions and during that time I have been on the verge of a nervous crisis. From there other problems followed.

Sounds like we have some things in common! I love going to the mountains around here and hiking in new places!

Nice to meet you and hope to get to know you more on Healthy Pals!

Hi Svetla... nice to have you on healthy pals... when I have any issues I always remind myself about mind over matter... a powerful mind will conquer any matter!! ... so I am rooting for you. Keep your mind strong!!! Life is hard, but with determination, we can do anything we put our minds to, well, just about anything if you know what I mean. There are some good and friendly people here on healthy pals, and we are all here for you.

Howdy Svelta,

Welcome to HP. Sounds like you have a lot going on. Have you tried to seek professional help yet or are you trying to work it out on your own? We are not weak when we seek help from others... in fact, we are stronger for we know what we need to work on and actively seek out the help. Good Luck to you in your journey towards health. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future!

Hi Everyone:)

Thank you for being so supportive. Actually I am rather well now, concerning depression, my only problem being some overweight. These days I found on youtube a great fat burning Arabic belly dancing workout As I said I am going for a vacation for recreation and sport for a week but I will be returning on Monday. See you then.

Have a great trip! See you next week .
