Lost

  • Hi I'm reaching out as I feel I have lost all hope. I've been battling depression and anxiety since I was 16 (I'm now 29). I'm the heaviest I have ever been. I've recently come off lexapro for the second time. I seem to loose a decent amount of weight then gain it all back and then some. I attend the gym quite a bit but I have a very difficult family situation so I'm trying to lose the weight alone and without a close knit support network. I feel very isolated at the moment and am not sure I can do it on my own
  • I am sorry I didn't see this sooner, because you do sound in need of support! Does your physician realize how low you are? I would hope that maybe a change of meds? in the meantime, you can come here to this forum to vent or pour out your thoughts. You are not alone!
  • Seconding VermontMom, it's not the same as in person support, but we're here to support you! You are definitely not alone. And I'll second the doctor/nutritionist recommendation too... meds do funny things and I'm not remotely qualified to give advice there.
