Just wanted to say...

  • Hi to everyone. I"ve been lurking for sometime now. I like reading all the posts that are here and I can really relate to them.

    My name is Chrissy and I'm a compulsive eater. Mood swings, happy, sad, cry, laugh you name it and I want to eat. Not in front of anyone....just by myself and in big portions.

    I've really been trying to get intune with my emotions and trying to make sure I take my Prozac. I've taken that for about three years now. I do feel better when I take it it's just remembering to do so.

    I would love to come here and post with you gals. You seem to be very insightful and since I'm just now realizing that I have this problem....I should have known years ago....I can use all the help and guidance that I can get.

    Looking forward to getting to know all of you,

    Blessing, ChrissyB

  • Welcome Chrissy

    I'm new to this board too and these ladies do make you feel welcome and comfortable about sharing.

    I can relate to the eating anything in sight! I'm an emotional eater too and some days the slightest thing can send me off.

    When I read your post about remembering to take your pills I had to dash off and take mine! Some days I know my brain just isn't where it should be!

    I was diagnosed with post partum/natal depression about 4 months ago after 3rd baby and now know that I had it to some degree after #2 and at other times over last 18 - 20 years. I am feeling better since starting medication and hope to start counselling soon to deal with some ancient history. Talking, sharing and relating to others in similar positions is helpful and this bord is great for that.

    Would love to hear from you. E-mail me if you like

    All the best
