I am dealing with a very difficult depressive episode and when I'm this depressed all I think about is eating. I use food as a way to self medicate, so I don't lose any weight (haven't gained any either-whew) but it makes me more depressed. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Well, I have been lurking on the 3FC boards for quite sometime. When I first started getting serious about weight loss, I was somewhat active, but I'm recommiting to being a part of this group and staying the course. I am going to need support though, I'm hoping to make new friends. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I have had a very miserable 2009. I was engaged to be married, had the wedding planned and everything (dress bought, location booked, etc.) then out of nowhere my fiance ended things. This happened in March of this year. I seemed to be doing really well at first and then I got hit with this massive wave of saddness which I have not been able to get out of for months. I'm in therapy, on medication, the whole nine yards, but nothing seems to be helping. I hear so often that this will just take time to run it's course. I just want to feel like myself again. I'm so sad. |
