Hi all, I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but I suffer depression and feel it’s a vicious circle as when I get my horrible days all I want to do is eat! A big part of my depression is how I look at myself and eating makes me feel better (well you think it does) but makes me put weight on but then it makes me feel worse. I can’t get myself motivated to lose weight as I know it would make me feel better, it’s such a vicious circle.
Thank you and that was a good day and had been on a diet but back to square one again 😕 I was bullied at school and it has remained with me ever since and some of the comments referred to my body. It led me to being so self conscious and depressed xxx
Preparing food was seen as an act of love in my family, as was sharing meals. Having seconds was a compliment to the cook. Feel unwell, eat something, feel sad, have a little treat, tired, something to eat will give you energy. Not to blame anyone, but that's how I was comforted since childhood. Old habits are hard to break...
Thank you for writing
I don’t know the answer but I feel there are so many lonesome people.
To make your world smaller for me is the answer. We need to have a sharing of feelings. You really need to talk, talk without attitudes that shut you down.
After all the years I have been at, I realize the less energy I spend with siblings, the more energy I have for self care.
My mind does not constantly think of things to say to make them understand, it thinks of positive conversations with myself and others that helps to change the thoughts that run on a loop.
I feel so much like several people s storylines. I don’t feel like I matter. I can’t get anyone to understand I’m suffering here in Kingman. I’m not eating right. I’m lonely as hell. I appreciate you all. The ones I’ve read. I would help if I can.
