    It can be trial & error with meds. This sounds like it could be the one. Stay bright & positive

    I'm battling it more than ever. A vicious cycle. I can't get motivated to work out because of my depression and i'm depressed even more that I'm not working out. Mind you my depression rubs deep so not working out just adds to it. I'm scared about what runs through my head. lqerrfuqzdr0.jpg

    Are you getting help with your depression? Don't beat yourself up for not working out :s Try a daily walk for 30 -45 mins, much better for you than the gym and helps lift the mood :)

    I am so happy for you that a medication seems to be working. (Fingers crossed). You've persisted, which is so very good.

    @jgnatca thankyou! I hope it continues to work.. It's always a fear of mine to fall into a deep hole like I previously was in

    I know you got this! If not then I'll jump in that hole and take your place no one deserves to be in that hole!

    Depression had pretty much taken over me the last couple years and I had gained so much.. I want to lose it all! I have never lost this much and I'm afraid I'm going to get so impatient and frustrated I'll just give up. I'm so ready to get my old self back!

    The only person who can beat depression is you, with the support of people around you. I have been there, popped the pills, got the counselling, then grew a pair with the help of some good friends and got off the meds. Was it hard? Bet it was, probably the hardest thing I have ever done!

    What you need is a support network around you. We cannot fight the fight for you, but we can support you when your willpower falters, pick you up when you feel down and lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. Unfortunately the hard work is still on you.
