Default Hello all....

Hi everyone,

My name is Victoria.

In addition to depression, I have also been diagnosed with OCD, Trichotillomania and GAD. I take luvox CR and abilify daily, both of which have weight gain as side effects.

I previously lost 86 lbs, and then gained it all back when I got into a really bad state.

That's how I tend to cope with depression. I sleep and eat. I want to learn to take it and turn it into the will to exercise and fight....I just don't know how.

I've been much better since I started abilify (I was really bad for a little while) so I know that I need to stay on it, and my Luvox is for my OCD....otherwise I would go off meds just because of weight. But I tried therapy for years without them and it just didn't cut it.

Hope all is well and it's nice to meet all of you. I'd love to hear tips!
