No need for weight loss, need to stop self-destructive mind set

I’ve always considered myself to be a healthy person. At least physically. Always lean and thin, a good metabolism and I eat healthy. Never struggled with weight or eating habits. No. My struggles are far different.
Last year, after an abusive and traumatizing relationship, my fiancée dumped me. Yea, big sob story. I’ve never sunk into a depression so hard. I was drinking a lot and taking antidepressants. Not an alcoholic, I could still function through the day but my nights usually ended with me clutching a bottle of some sort.
My self esteem fell to rock bottom, my confidence was shot and I started having recurring nightmares. At several points, I considered taking the easy way out. But I never did.
I’ve gotten sick of feeling sorry for myself. Thinking so negatively of myself, questioning my worth, whether I was a good person...but I’m done with that.
I need to refocus my energy on a newer, more positive light. I will be strong. I will be disciplined. I will rise.
