Thank you for your very informative post but I have to strongly disagree with the eating side...a lot of depressed and anxious people do NOT want to eat.....same as some might possibly overeat (but percentage wise i would lean on the side of non eating/non activity therefore not needing to eat).....
And everyone;s case is not the same as another's...But falls into the categories you have highlighted.
I know of lots of people who are on anti depressants who did not want to eat, get out of bed etc.......face life etc....
Your post was spot on so please don't be offended at my slight disagreement.....
Now overeating/obesity and reading about those people in the press...yes they have issues...but they seem to be more complex and putting those people on antidepressants compounds their ability to function (I'm referring to the recent spate of 40 stoners- who seem to be wanting to get in the Guinness Book of Records) but they have all told their stories and said it began with depression....I would imagine doping them up would only speed up their demise......so they are just left to eat and eat!...

The problem with anti depression tablets is that they take away feelings that are there for a reason and the end result is that you change nothing in your life. If you finally do ever feel better enough to stop taking the tablets, you will just slide back into depression and the tablets once again as the cause of the depression is still there in your life.
Speak for yourself.

Oh yeah, but we can talk about prescription drugs, with no censorship....and those same prescription drugs, that we're allowed to promote and talk about; actually kill over 200,000 Americans, yearly. Really?
Oh, stupid me...i forgot...1 is "legal" and the other is not. Riiiiiiiiiight....now i get it! Ok, this ain't about DENYING IGNORANCE. It's about keeping people that way.
Yeah, keep poppin' those pills.....that's the ANSWER for EVERYTHING! Pfft!
We're all rooting for you here! Best of luck

thanks for sharing your first post on my thread btw. Im 26, i have had serious relationship problems as well, lost a person to suicide that was close to me, had a bad child hood, drug problems ect ect. I don't want to say this and make people think, ''aww poor you'', cause i know people have had it alot worse than I, but perhaps its part of the overall problem.
i did speak with a mental health profesional but i just couldnt fully open up about everything, and perhaps i do need to do that. I will see my GP in 3 weeks so i will ask about it. Maybe getting this out will help.
also i need to change my life style and other areas of my life too, one step at a time, but hopefully the meds give me a boost. Day one is over as i started the meds today, just got to wait and see how it goes
I know what you mean, but accept that you will have bad days and roll with them Don't beat yourself up about it, if you real feel you can't get out of bed and face the world, stay there

thanks, and i will watch that video when i have the time. I really do understand that diet and exercise will definately help, sometimes just getting out of bed is a struggle for me though, a good kick up the butt is in order for me to get that ball rolling at least

yep, i know there are many areas i need to look at, one of them is definately my diet. I do not eat regular, or eat the correct balance of healthy foods i should. Though sometimes i feel so low i just wont eat or snack instead of eating a good healthy meal. I know i need a kick up the arse to be honest with my eating and exercise, but hopefully one step at a time i can get into that way of living. Thanks for the advice
