Hey ya'll--
Sorry I have been MIA lately...computer issues have basically driven me to nutville and then some other issues have been going on this summer.   I have been trying to adjust and find a new normal for myself.  That being said...I think 1. I need a good therapist in NE Philly and 2. I can't stop losing weight...I am starting to see and feel bones....

Seriously...I am down to an extra small in most clothes and I am not sure where one goes when they start getting too big...I am not anorexic or anything I just am a.) very much not ever hungry b.) can not usually finish a meal that I start....is this just stress???

I have had a really rough summer so far...There was a frightening incident I don't want to get into on the public board.... and then my apartment was vandalized...so I am hoping it is just stress...but seriously I feel as though I am falling apart here. I still take my supplements, my vitamins, drink protein...but I think I dropped ten more pounds...

If there is anyone in the NE philly area who knows a good therapist please send me their name/number...I KHPE so I do have insurance for it...I am starting to feel a lil overwhelmed and lonely and think it would be a good idea to talk to someone...

Thanks...as long as my laptop stays in a good mood I will be trying to post more regularly again...the support here always makes me feel a bit better.

Much luv!
Laura

Hi Lauraanne,
I wondered where you were.  Psychology Today has a page where you can search for a therapist in your area.  I see a therapist in Jersey, or I would recommend him. 

Good luck.  Here is the link.  http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/

Hi Laura,
First off ((((((hugs))))))

I know a good therapist although I might be a bit biased.  He does work with WLS patients.

Hi Laura. So sorry to hear you're going thru so much again and your weight loss us something to be concerned about. Does your employer offer EAP (employee assistance program)? They can give you recommendation for therapists depending on what you're going thru.

If possible I would also suggest seeing your weight loss surgeon or pcp for bloodwork and advice.

Pls take care of yourself. You don't need to get sick on top of everything else and stress can do terrible things to our bodies (and minds).

Big hugs and lots if prayers coming your way.

Kathy
