Depression and Weight IssuesHave you been diagnosed with depression, are possibly on depression medication, and find it affects your weight loss efforts? Post here for support!
Hi everyone! I am new to this group but not new to the forums. I had to change my screen name a bit cause I couldnt remember my log in info it has been so long!!!
I am getting ready to start a new anti depressant med that the docs recommended to me.....and I am hoping it works well!!!
I am wondering....are they any others out there that are stay at home moms who find themselves on the verge of snapping at the slightest things???
I have started doing atkins as well about a month and a half ago.....and finally seeing weight go....but the moods and depression are so overpowering I can barely stand it......
I need people to talk to and keep me motivated.....and POSITIVE....cause for the most part I walk around or sit around here wishing everything would just disappear cause I feel so low and crappy!!!
If anyone is interested in buddying up for the depression and WOE haul.......please let me know!!!
We are glad you found us and would love to get to know you better, how about posting your bio on the bio thread. After that, please join us on the daily boards where we laugh, cry, #%&#@, and moan but mostly we love each other and we try to help each other get thru the day (warning::::: we can be silly too).
Have you spoken to your doctor about the mood changes that started to occur when you started doing the atkins diet ? thats the first place I would start is with your doctor. I have also done the atkins diet in the past but found it to be very restrictive (for me personally). I'm kinda doing my own verson of a low carb diet instead of a no carb diet. CAD was a good one too.
Hey Mom2Boys - I believe you and I use to chat a good bit.
I'm so glad you found us here. Please check in each day and talk with us. We will all help each other.
