Am I the only one???
Who's experiencing depression/anxiety a lot??? I don't know why even, because I have sooooooo much to be happy about.
Just lately I find myself getting down about a lot.. and feeling angry... and anxious... I'm on welbutrin, and occasional xanax... and if you can even believe it, it's not making me feel better.
Please tell me I'm not the only one.....

Success is a journey... not a destination! 
No I am having big time isues with anxiety depression but i am not gonna take drugs that do not make me feel better they just make me feel numb and that is not how i am gonna live life.. I go threw cycles but then I also have DID (dIsassociation idenity disorder) and no i am not like sybil THE MOVIE but I fight the disease every day of my life, I kinda wish I was bi polar seems people except them more easy then having MPD YES FOLKS I HAVE that disease and I been off antidepressant drugs for a few years and I AM NOT GONNA GO BACK ON THEM . I am done with councelors etc had them for 10 years so I realize that we all go threw cycles of depression and as long as i am not ready to commit suicide or head for the razors I will be ok.
I think dealing with rapid weight loss and the transformation of it has alot to do with r psychie and how we view the world
I do feel like a misfit and I SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENT AND SOME DAY I AM CLUELESS WHAT ALTER EGO IS SHOWING UP FOR THE MOMENT. I think u can rest assure u r not alone. Being morbid obese is a symptom of a much more deep down rooted problem normal people don't get 100 plus over weight because they love food so much We got here because we were hiding or running from the real issues I USED MY OBESITY AS A FAT ARMOR
I was told by many therpist my disorder is unsalavageable. My hubby does not get me sometimes and not that I am REALLY not moody he just doesn't know who I am tell he walks in the door is all. We all basically have Mpd when u think about it i just swing btwn hats more,
you are not alone

I have been experiencing depression and anxiety as well, and am on Lexapro. I talked to my pre-surgery psychologist, who told me essentially what Lisa is saying...that this is normal among those of us who have had the surgery and lost a lot of weight. She says we are having to learn who we are all over again - that we are facing the fact that we are NOT the person we've known - we are smaller, we can do more, we're likely getting more attention. A lot of us were fat in order to shield ourselves from whatever we were afraid of (relationships? success? Who knows?) and now that shield is no longer there. We might be faced with decisions we weren't faced with before our physical changes, and those might be scary. Big life changes are scary and are depressing.
Hang in there, folks. I hear that it will get better.

It is probably your meds!!
I was put on wellbutrin I got the generic bropion I believe and it made me so mean and depressed. I told my Dr and they said that is one of the side effect? Who knew depression meds that make you more depress.
They then switch me to prestic and I was so mean! I almost divorced my husband and I had road rage so bad I actually tried to get someone out of their car. It was bad! And that was another side effect of the meds too.
So then they put me on cymbalta this one worked well but if you miss one pill you have like withdrawal and for me I had to take it at night because it made me so sick to my stomach.
I am now trying zoloft which is what I org was on and felt it stopped working.
Since the surgery I have become very sensitive to all meds. So I am having trouble finding a med that doesn't make me mean , depressed, or sick.
good luck to you and you are so not alone!

Hey Mary,
You are not alone. I also have so much to be happy about - loving family, a roof over my head, a good job...BUT after being invisible due to my obesity I have felt intensely vulnerable this past year. I've also lost a close friend of 13 years and have no idea why - although I still have some other close friends. I am becoming aware of what others think of me and it's no always good. I struggle with being secure in myself, trying to change what needs to be changed, and loving myself through the process - which is very difficult.
It's weird - I've always been smart and talented but now that I'm not obese - it's suddenly not OK. UGH!!!!!!!!! I now find myself playing down my talents or keeping quiet so people won't judge me. :( And that's probably not right either.
You aren't the only one but we are in this together.
Peace
