I am very depressed. I gained ten pounds. I haven;t been weighing myself. no more ice cream

I wish our weight was not an issue bobby, I would be happier if I did not have to constantly think about my weight.
I think that for me it will always be a batttle/ struggle.

i wish I had weighed myself sooner....this is the most I have been in so very long

yes bobby, when I weighed myself on Nov 1st that was the highest I had been in years, it scared me so that is why I am dieting and not drinking alcohol....I don't ever want to be that weight again.
It gets scary thinking I could get diabetes or a fatty liver.

Are you going to try a diet?

I'm so sorry you gained the 10 pounds, Bobby :hug:
I can understand how bad that feels. I gained 50lbs when I started taking Seroquel. But I think dieting will just add extra stress you don't need right now. I would wait until you are on meds for a little while :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry Stella is being Stella again :hug:

as I said I am going to cut out ice cream and also chinese food. I got on the scale this afternoon and already dropped two pounds. i think it was three days of water weight from the chinese foodI threw out the meals on wheels/ I am also going to drink more coffee. I am out of control and could never diet. I can cut out certain food and that is what I will do. It is so stressful. Kay is right. I don't know if my pdoc can find an antidepressant for me. I will try again to go on klonopin. I will also try to read more.
i haven't gotten comments from my nephew nor have i gotten pictures from thanksgiving. i think he heard me

i lost three more pounds. a lot of it most of been water weight from the chinese food

I swear Chinese food can make you retain water like nothing else! I'm glad you shed those 5lbs! :):):)

I like your plan of just trying to cut out those 2 foods. It seems like an attainable goal to me :hug:
I find coffee filling. Drinking more may help you in that department.

I think it seemed like you were not getting any benefit at all from your antidepressants until you stopped them (not that they were doing nearly enough). There are lots of different meds/med combos that pdocs can try. It's important to keep trying to find something that will work for you and not give up. You need to be on medication, as do I :hug::hug::hug:

I wish your nephew would respond to you :hug:

He doesn't believe what i wrote him about my parents. he remembered going in the road and wishing he were run over but he doesn't remember mmy mother or father in their car trying to comfort him. I wonder if he will think about that.
already I want more chinese food but I will decline. I guess you are right about medication. I am on risperdal.

Bobby

Do you have any idea how old he was? When the being in the street issue was.
That might be part of the reason he doesn't remember.

Please try to get through this. No real clue how to. Sending some hugs.
