depression

[wolfmom71 6]

Anyone having trouble with depression. And having trouble with the weight they are losing?

I am in counseling .but even with it. I am struggling with nightmares since I had my surgery in june. And I am still learning what my body can, and cant not handle. I feel like I am out of control. And what give up.

I don't know what to say about the depression that could help, except that I am sorry you're struggling. As far as the weight loss, I had my surgery in June also, and you have lost a lot more than I have, so it's not that slow.

wolfmom71,

Hello from a fellow Michigander who grew up in Michigan and is now a transplant to Texas.

PLEASE do not wait to get help from your primary care doctor or counselor for depression.

I went through a bout of severe depression when I was several months out from surgery. I had to have prescription help and counseling to get me through it along with exercise.

Slow weight loss is most importantly a loss. This isn't a sprint it's a marathon.

Good luck to you,

Blessings,

Kathleen

The meds they give out for depression . I cant take. I try to stay active and excerise. My counsleor said that should try to see if others are going what I am. But people just look at me lik e I am crazy. I know depression is common .and I know that dealing with changes that comes after doing the sleeve. I just didn't think I struggle so hard. Or force my shelf to keep going.

My dreams are making worried.

Thank you for what said. Anything helps

Well, that's not good! I'm sorry.

I know they're out of style, but we all could use a few fairy godmothers to POOF bad dreams and evil spells away. I'm also in counseling regarding my own health maintenance issues, and he's not buying the fairy godmother concept.

I promise I'm not teasing you -- I'm just trying to lighten your load. (( @@wolfmom71 ))

I'm very glad you're in counseling, and I hope this does resolve for you.

Remember that a dream is just a dream that sometimes reflects our inner fears. They don't come true. Also depression can cause dreams that are moribund. I am sorry you cannot use the SSRIs, but exercise is a potent antidepressant. It gets the good hormones going.

I experience depression and it is no fun and everything feels like a big deal to do. Hang in and it will remit.

I just wanted to share that I see a psychiatrist and counselor for major depressive disorder. I am on three daily medications to just feel okay each day.

My son was murdered 3 years ago in a senseless robbery and I spiraled out of control. But I have been stable for about the past year. As a result my dreams manifest my anxiety and really distress me. I have the same dreams over and over with a few variations but the anxiety is horrid.

I do talk about it in counseling. And it's sad I have to have sessions about my life awake and my life asleep.

I've had some bad days since my sleeve where I just felt I couldn't drink another shake, eat another food or survive another bout of throwing up.

I get the blues and I feel overwhelmed so if you need some support, I can at least empathize on every level.
