I have been using depression meds containing Citalopram for year and my weight has just gond up and up. Diets are very hard to follow as trying to lose any weight is slow and demotivating.

Do you find that certain things/situations/people/etc. trigger your depression?
How do you prepare for these situations?
What are your coping mechanisms for these triggers?

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read my message, I am at a point of being desperate and don’t know what the solution is.
I have suffered with depression all my adult life (I am 31) and have had periods where I have been perfectly in control with medication.
