Being off my meds have definitely affected how I'm functioning. I've always been heavy, so I don't blame the medication, on or off. Luckily I got my really extreme depression fits out of my system (I hope) in middle school, and I've made some amazing friends when I started high school a few years ago. Nice to meet you all, and I wish you all the best in your depression and weight loss |

My confidence and self-esteem are pretty low right now and that kind of scares me. I don't have health insurance so I'm not able to afford the meds I need. I'm currently trying to find a job so I can get health insurance but in this economy, it has been difficult. I know all this makes me sound like a pretty depressing person to be around but I am funny, love to laugh and joke around. |
