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!
I'm heading off to our local university (McNeese State University) graduation this morning. My nephew in law is graduating from the engineering department. Then off to lunch at his parents home.
Got lots to do this afternoon to get ready for our Senior Recognition day tomorrow for the 12th graders!
The weather is kinda blah today.i have been sitting and reading alot.My Therapist wanted me to get this book called "Its not what your eating its what's eating you" I started it last night because I had just got it in the mail.Its about food addiction and being an emotional eater.It has 28 day program where I will do ceratin assignments and alot of journaling about my feelings instead of going to the frig and get the last slice of meatloaf from dinner.I think this is something that needs to be looked at and taken care of before any of my weight is going to start coming off again.
I missed my therapy thursday because i didn't have a ride out there so I will have one on this coming thursday.Thank God.I had a really bad episode with a flashback the other night.You wouldn't believe how bad they get and how bad my panic attacks also get.I hate going through this but i guess my mind decided that this was the time and it isn't giving it up.
That's strange... I posted in teh Friday the 6th thread rather than the Friday the 13th thread... hehhehe... shows that my brain hasn't been working.
Today is the first day I haven't felt like my head was gonna blow up. Did some bowling last night. I'm glad I went. I almost decided not to go and just have a substitute bowl for me, but definately glad I went. Then we went out afterwards. Did I ever mention that I bowl with a bunch of weird people? Let's put it this way. You know those cars with the moon roofs? Well, lets just say I have a whole new outlook for them now. The guys were trying to cheer me up... so what does the freak do??? He pull shis PT cruiser in front of our truck, and the next thing I know, I see this white guy come out through his moon roof, and THEN, I see this really WHITE rear end come out. HE MOONED US! From out his moon roof. The man is CRAZY! Needless to say, my mind was 100 million miles away from my problems and it felt good. I'm going blind, but it was fun. Going to try to hit the gym today.
I am new here. I don't mean to hide behind the door. I really like to meet you gals. I have problem with people passing me up. I hope you have a good evening and tomorrow. The sun finally came out today.
It is ANOTHER rainy Saturday in Ky...........last Sat it was sunny for the first time in weeks and this weekend...more rain..Oh well...makes us appreciate the sun!
Hubby & I walked in the rain this a.m. ( a first for him) it wasnt bad.we walked 3 miles! We had some items to get at Sam's ( Saturday is not a good day to go there )
Going to a friends house for dinner tonight.looking forward to good food and fellowship!
It is a rather "laid back" weekend and I like it. We have many graduations etc to go to more toward the end of the month!
I went to a Chiropractor yesterday for the first time..............have 2 more apointments that will hopefully help a hip problem I am having! Thought I would try that BEFOREE a medical Dr. ( hubby likes the chiropractor) It only hurts when I am sitting for a long time.
I started this hours ago and got interupted...................now I am back home and heading to bed soon.
Good Night!
Ever seem like there is not enough time in the day? I need more days in my weekends.
I cancelled the gym today... I will go tommorrow in the morning. I also need to have my credit cards locked up. I went shopping again, just for shoes, but ended up with a lot more. Must stop!
This morning my step daughter had her youth bowling league. They won 1 out of 3 games. It's okie, she andthe team had fun. That's what counts.
I had a panic attack today tho. When I was looking at all the kids and looking at their scores and clapping for them when they got spares or strikes, I had a panic attack. I started to think all the parents were looking at me and wondering what I was doing to their child and why I was looking at them. I had to leave. I mad eup an excuse to James, told him, I'm falling asleep lets go out for some fresh air.
I didn't tell him til just now as to how I was feeling. He said it's understandable. I have an appt with the dr. at cal state next week to give me some more meds for my asthma... (a prescription for an inhaler) I'm going to ask her out the psychology department works. I don't think it's free and if it;s not, dunno if I will be able to afford it. But I wanna talk to someone, get this documented. My migrains, my panic attacks and so forth. I can't believe how much this is affecting me... other than being severly pissed off. *sigh*

Flowerblossom its nice to meet you. How did you stumble upon this site ?
I found 3FC's YEARSSSSSSSSSS ago, 1998 by doing a search on weight loss sites, then I saw 3FC's name and thought OMG thats so funny......been here ever since. I met alot of people thru the chat room here. Then when chat died down everyone kept posting on the boards, so thats when I joined in on the boards. Its a wonderful site
SueMarie, when you go to your doc tell him about the panic attacks, sheesh girl i wish I could give you a hug and take you away from it all. Take care of yourself.
It looks like rain today, gee I hope not. I'm just enjoying my coffee and relaxing for a bit before I get up and start cleaning.
Welcome Flowerblossom. You found a great thread here. This group of ladies are wonderfully supportive.
It's raining again here and I wonder if I should pull my lightbox out again. I put it away like directed in March, but it's been raining ever since. I'd ask my dr. but she's on a 6 month sabbatical so I'm left to my own devices until September. So what do you all think? I don't want it to turn my depression into mania, but the weather has been so depressing. I'm just not sure what to do. I hate being bi-polar.
Someone gave me a link to this site. So I decided to check it out.
Thanks for the welcomes. I am still checking out all the boards here. I will be here. I have Major Depression, and it really helps when there are others understand how it is. Of course the losing weight battle.
I have been walking for exercise, but it has been rainy. I do wake if it is raining lightly, but not during the downpours. It is raining now. Unless, the weather gets better, my walk will be around in Walmart. The rain gets me down too. The sun really does me good.
Besides me here. I have 3 cats, 26 big pond goldfish, and 7 young goldfish. I have the small ones in the aquarium. The big fish are in a stock tank until I get my pond cleaned out.
I have enjoyed it but am unhappy about all the bickering going on in the family
We did our spring cleaning finally........outside......hosed out the garage.....did the grass and the gardens......I will get my soil and plants tomorrow..........
Need to lift some saggy cement and re:cement our front steps and driveway,,,,,,buying a trampoline with an enclosure today.......and will get my bedding plants in the next couple days........including some soil to build up my front garden.
Want to spend lots of time out on my deck this summer with friends.......sipping cocktails and bbqing alberta beef!
