You guys seem so happy

What am I missing?????? Why am I so depressed. I cant even pull myself out of bed. I dont even want to get dressed. What is wrong. I have a appt friday to get my meds changed. I hope that helps. My depression the past 2 weeks is over the tops. I feel like no body likes me because I am thin. People treat me so different. My family really treats me bad. My 2 older twin sisters. I know this is stupid. I feel I am so alone. I have been sabotaging myself. I am really in a bad way. My husband wanted to amit me into the mental health. I told him it would mess up my camping trip next week. That I feel I need to go on. Had it planned all year. I think I am going threw menapaus or I just dont know. I want to cry so bad but I cant..... Take care all Barb

Barb, please don't feel you are all alone. Most days I feel like living proof that losing weight doesn't solve all of your problems, like they say. Did I know that before hand? Sure. Did I hope "they" were wrong and losing the weight would make me stop feeling like a depressed old failure? Absolutely. So now, I'm dealing with the fact that instead of fat and depressed, I'm thin and depressed. In some ways that's even worse, because before I could blame the fat, now I'm afraid it might be ME that's the problem. So believe me, everyone out here is NOT all happy, it's not just you. I'm also working on med adjustments (moving from zoloft to lexapro) and resumed the counselling that I was attending while I was losing the weight. I encourage you to keep talking about it, keep coming here for support, and know that it will get better, OK? I'll be thinking of you.

Barb sweety, Once you go on the trip and return, please go and get things straightened out, I was away for 5 days and it gave me time and perspective witout all the outside influances. I thought before i went what good would it do if i'm just comming back into all the BS, It gave me time to breath and refocus and think about ME for a change. There is nothing your going to be able to do to change those around you, and you have worked so hard and came so far in changeing who you were don't waste all that on what someone else wants or thinks or says, it is YOU that matters. Repeat after me, Hi my name is Barb and I matter ! Okay now go tell that to the woman in the miror untill she believes it BIG HUGS, Shel

Thanks everyone. I sleep all day but did get up and took a bath and excercise. That is a good sign. I hope I feel so great tomorrow. I dont know what is wrong with me. I am getting blood work done friday. Maybe its my iron or b12. Or menapas. But I am really depressed. and need help for it Hugs all Barb

I was thinking as I read that it very well could be your Iron levels. mine were low and now that I have been on the pills awhile I seem to be feeling better. Lets hope thats what it is Shel

Barb i feel this way when i am by myself. I too want to cry but cant..I hear a sad song and i feel like my world is ending...But I am usually so busy with work, and running the kids everywhere its not to much I am alone...I wasn't depressed before the surgery...(well to a certain degree I was) But Know I feel sad for no reason...I dont sleep near as much as I would like too...I think these feelings have to do with the surgery and a lack of something...... I dont know.. Anyhow hang in there. HEIDI
