Default The-Get-Back-In-The-Game-Thread

Remember me? Sigh...I've been away...and despite reporting back a few weeks ago, I never fully returned.

I had a severe ankle injury. Accidental, but self-induced.

I dug my jagged wooden fence into the back of my ankle and it ripped out a huge chunk of flesh.
I have this tendency to hurt myself physically to get at those around me.

I was over the edge with the way things were falling apart family-wise:
My dad became unwell and thus abusive again,
My mom's legs are in constant pain and she's a waitress,
My grandpa's had several encounters in acute care in the hospital. I don't know if he's going to be ok.

Then there's the ex-factor, where I thought I'd love to be friends with him again but his very re-entrance into my life reminds me of my inadequacies.

So now I feel more unwanted than ever.

And of course...as the major result of this, I started drinking and binge eating.

Gained back 7 lbs.

I just felt like I had no place to turn...my meds don't seem to work anymore. And I don't want any other kind but Wellbutrin because the others make me gain weight.

Then I realized the only place I really ever got support was here.

SO now I'm going to be accountable and check in with how I'm doing, exercise and diet related.

I hope all of you are doing well, and those who are having a tough time...
we can always get back on track.

S'all for now...going to go work out.

Welcome back! Maybe your doctor can just up the dose on the Wellbutrin if it's not working as well. (And maybe you can talk to a therapist about all those family issues as well.)

Yeah, I upped my dose from 250mg to 400mg three days ago...and while I still feel down in the dumps, I don't have a big tendency to binge. I feel more in control now. I'm also more productive.

Cheers!
