Again, thank you all so much for your helpful words...it is such a struggle but I will get there, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired...more so than you will ever know....i want my life back, i want me back, i want the happy, smiling, fun loving, free spirit, the world won't get me down ME BACK!!! cuz i sure have let the world and other things bring me down, as far down as you can go, there is no where else to go but up and i guess what they say is true, "you have to hit rock bottom before you can go up" and I hit it and hit it hard and have laid there for about 5years....its time...

Dear blkshadow,

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I am glad to see that you are getting help and starting antidepressants. Remember that just because one antidepressant works on one person doesn't mean it will work on others. If you feel that you are still depressed, talk to your doctor and try another. It may take trying a few different meds to find the right one. It also takes a few weeks for them to "kick in". Don't give up on them!!!

I am glad that you have found this site, because you will definitely get support and encouragement from us! We are all in the same boat as you are! Once you get your depression under control, life won't seem as bleak!

We are here for you!!

My Heart really goes out to you. I don't have all the family problems that you have, and that can take so much out of you. I'm at my heaviest weight also. I just did my psych appointment, and the questionaire I had to answer did show mild depression mainly due to my health problems and my weight (duh!) This is a great place to read and get support. It is a nice feeling to know that you are not alone. I've gotten alot of strength and support here.

Good luck to you, and remember that this is about you and getting healthy.

yes, i am finally learning that I need to focus on me...i can't be in a relationship or be the great mom I am unless I take care of me....and i havn't taken care of me in a very long time....i have a soul but i lost my being!! went to a contemporary worship this evening and they said without your soul and being in tact and without loving yourself completely you can invite misery quickly...and i thought..yes i have my soul...but somewhere along the way i lost my "being" and i don't love all of myself...i love the good qualities but not the shell that houses them....a little crazy i know...again thank you to all of you...your the best

Because she might not think I'm over weight enough or I haven't tired hard enought to lose weight. But I'm going to tell her that I feel it's the right thing for me to do . That I also want to get a refferal to a surgeon.
