How do I start again?
Chrissy, the offer to chat on SKYPE goes for you too.
I have had depression for many years, I was off work for almost 2 years because of that demon. If you have lost interest in things that used to give you pleasure, can't stay asleep or wake up very early and can't go back to sleep. have difficulty concentrating (can show up as being forgetful), feel worse as the day goes on, feel like nothing matters, have negative thought, or have suicidal thoughts and it has persisted for more than 2 weeks- GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR. What starts as a situational depression can become clinical depression. Clinical depression is a chemical imbalance. To fight back you need medication and talk therapy. Tackle the depression and the eating will improve too. Life may be really tough right now, but you are a wonderful, worthwhile women. I know your self-talk is saying something negative in response- don';t listen....argue back. Yes you read me right. Talk back to the negative like your very best friend would if she could heard that nasty inner voice.

No matter what the demons are that bother you- failed relationships, going off your eating plan, gaining weight etc etc.--- remember tomorrow is another day - and don't beat yourself up over what happened yesterday or last week. It's just not worth it. We all need to be good and kind to ourselves.
You CAN start again - and take it day by day - or even hour by hour if you have to - good luck!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and strength you have been sending me. I find that when I read your messages I just sit and cry for awhile, it's good to let the pain out.
I have tried three days of shakes and hope that I can get on track. I don't want to fail this time, I want to be "normal" and look normal....but it's so hard to shake this depression.
My husband has returned to Moncton this week after being gone for a year, and I now have to face what to do in the long term. I am afraid to leave because this has been the worst time in my life, and I am afraid I will try suicide again if I am all alone.
Just taking it day to day.....I am less anxious but now very confused. I hope time will help with this.
Thanks for all of your support!
