What the F?? That girl gem seems to really have it bad! She makes it hard for me to feel sorry for myself! I have been depressed for a long time. I have a lot going for me but yet I have so little. I just keep getting fatter and people who know me just keep putting me down. I don't know what to do. I am always on a diet but never seem to lose any weight. I just keep on gaining. I weigh 225 pounds and I am 5'5. I have never been this big! I am with someone who says that they love me but yet they seem to be incapable of talking to me or showing me just how much I mean to them! I have a 2 year old son and a 23 year old daughter. If it weren't for them I might seriously consider taking my own life. Someone please help me! I don't know what to do! I want to lose weight but I can't control my cravings and appetite! Please help!

What has your medical diagnosis been up to this point?

Didn't you mention to us, when my friend and I visited you a couple of weeks ago, that you had lost a lot of weight, KBC?

Oh yeah,, going back to work, and being in a minor manic mood, it takes the weight off quick-like.:)

So, it seems to me, that you would have some really good insight and experience as far as how weight, mood and being depressed or not are related.

Correct?

I am not sure which thread I read but the woman's screen name was Gem. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, OCD (because I can't stop thinking about food), and GERD. I am also going to school for nursing. I graduate this August. I know that I am under a lot of stress and I am sure that it does play into what is happening to me right now. I just don't know how to make my mind stop thinking and craving food.
