In a dark place right now and finding it hard to come out.

I don't know what is wrong with me.  I have been in a funk for a long time.  I know I am overdoing it with work, school, and family stuff... but right now they are things I have to do.   I know everyone has times like this... but how do you come out of it?  My PCP gave me a script for this crap that doesn't work for me and said she couldn't do anything else for me.  I have an appointment to see someone in Rocky Hill tomorrow.   Tomorrow can't come fast enough.    All I want to do is get into my bed with my pillow and woobie and never get up!  For those of you that know me, this isn't me.  I want to be me again!   How do I ?     I feel like I am going

hi chrissy, i hope you doing better, just take some time for yourself and rest, you'll feel better :)  p.s. this weather doesnt help either!

Thank you.  Finding it hard to find time for me... not enough hours in the day.

Oh can I relate - So much to do so little time to do it and NO time for me. It really sucks. I did get a fill and am trying very hard to stay in line but it is hard. No exercise cuz of a ankle/foot injury - 4 more weeks of PT. Daughters's tonsils are coming out on the 28th - dance team tryouts were last week-end, dress rehersal all day next Saturday, 2 performances on Sunday - dirty house, laundry a chore to fit in - CALGON TAKE ME AWAY. I know I was of no help but didn't want you to think you were alone! I am at work and it is pouring out and all I wanted to do was stay in bed. Haven't accomplished a thing today! Just don't feel like it. Hope things look up for you! Big Hugs, nancy K

Nancy,  Thank you for letting me know I have company.  I really am stressing.  I can't wait for my appoitment.   you hang in there! Maybe we both at some point can find peace.   

Hi Chris, Im not on here much, but would like to share something with you.  I have been on these boards a long time and have realized that the weight loss has caused several post-ops changes in their chemical makeup.  Many of us relied on food to help  production and release of endorphins, dopamine and seratonin in our bodies to feel better.  Once we removed that stimulant, most bodies can recover and start producing more naturally.  Some bodies never do.  You may be having this issue and need to use a prescription to help you body produce them.  Meanwhile until you can find the right script, (there are several not everyone is right for everybody) you cannot help feeling depressed and tired.  dont think you did anything wrong, this is physical, not mental. I wish you the best and hopefully the doctor can help you. Hugs Tee

Tee,  What you are saying totally makes sense.   I do hope that the dr I see tomorrow will be able to help me out. Thank you for your post.  I really appreciate it!

Hugs-- When I get in those funky moods I have found that a four pronged approach works the best for me: ****xercise, (2) speaking with someone professionally, (3) sticking with my food plan since for me--there is not food that is going to make me feel better, and (4) to keep asking my Higher Power for guidance and that I learn the lessons I am supposed to be learning. I congratulate you on your courage to reach out to your friends and ask for support--that takes strength. As busy as you are, it is even more imperative that you find time for yourself to relax and decompress.  I believe that most of us food addicts do not believe that we deserve time for Us.  But it is crucial: we can not be there for others if we are not first there for ourselves. Take good care, Carol D.

Hi Carol, Thank you for your post.   I do (1)  (3) and (4)  Going to do (2) tomorrow... wish me luck

I wish I could make it into see Kim Daniels... she is just a bit too far for me to go.   I am going to go to Rocky Hill as I can make it there durrning my lunch hour and be back at a acceptable time.  Middletown is just a bit too far. I see Dr. A next month too.  Maybe something is up with my labs.
