Hello All,
I'm really really going through a bad time at the moment, i feel defeated mentally & physically. I will not allow myself though to fall off the wagon, i know why i need to lose weight and i can't lose sight of that. But i'm struggling and i just feel exhausted mentally and physically. I have been doing my diet for 3 weeks but i had a week break for easter, so i have lost 5 pounds in total. It was 7 but i put 2 back on over easter. I have a lot to deal with mentally on a daily basis. I suffer with severe clinical depression or Uni-Polar, OCD, Anxiety, IBS and i'm housebound due to my mental illness aswell. I do see a psychiatrist and a doctor and i'm also on medication. I take Carbamazepine, Amitriptyline, both for the depression. I take Loperamide, Mebeverine and Cyclizine for the IBS and Omeprazole for reflux, and Co-Codamol for back and knee pain. I'm basically a physical and mental wreck! So trying to lose weight is a real problem for me, some days i find it difficult to even get up. I also look after my mother who is 73 and housebound herself due to Arthritis, so at the end of the day you can imagine i'm exhausted. I'm lucky that my brother helps me with mom though. I live with my brother who is a bachelor and of course my mom lives here aswell. So that is my life and i suppose i just needed to rant a little, sorry this is so long but my life is complicated and i haven't even talked about half of it lol. Maybe tomorrow i will feel better.
