and it is really depressing
I have had depression for the past few years now and I am sure it is partly weight related. I also have had binge eating since about 13 and saw a counsellor for that about 6 times..it did help me, but then i had to stop going...last year I had kind of a nervous breakdown and started getting anxiety/panic and agoraphobia almost overnight...it has gotten better since then, but it is still here on a lower level and I am still hesitant to do alot of things and would rather just stay home. since the intense 'breakdown' of last year i have gained 40 pounds and am at my highest weight ever. i almost feel like its too much to lose at this point and have given up all weight loss efforts...but this time i feel i have to for a different reason, more for my anxiety and mental health more than appearance...I think it will really help in that area....Anyone with anxiety/panic/depression issues feel better with losing weight? Would love to hear from you...i lost about 50 pounds 5 years ago, then 30 but gained it back both times...again my heaviest was 220 before, now its 255 and i feel like i am a ****en time bomb ready to have a heart attack at any moment....but at the same time I dont really even care anymore, ive lost any motivation or hope I used to always have ...so again if anyone has had panic, anxiety issues and weight loss/routines/exercise/vitamins/eating plan has helped would love to hear from you...thanks for listening
