Does anyone know if there is a texting service that sends out like encouraging tips throughout the day? I’ve heard of one but I can’t seem to find it.

I’m having these weird pains all over my body, and it’s making it hard to focus on anything. But I don’t want to go to a doctor because I know they’ll just say “it’s cause you’re a fatty-fatty-boom-ba-latty.” And then I’ll feel like a failure because I should have been working harder. Sigh.
