edited October 4 in Motivation and Support
I have always been very prone to depression. Usually I will get depressed in the winter,but I also suffered from childhood depression for many years. The thing was in the past I could deal with it because when I thought about there was no root cause for my depression,I was just sad.
Right now I am in another funk.But Im having more trouble coming out of it as there is many root causes for once. It seems I am turning to food to help me feel better,and not finding the motivation to exercise-which I know would help me feel better. I am looking for others who have delt with this dark passenger so that we might be able to help each other see some brighter days in dark times.

    Please check out Thomas's group...I don't like to talk about my depression in such a public forum. But you are not alone.

    Also a note for anyone viewing this,I wasn't implying a discussion to ensue afterwards. Just hoping for a few friends requests or perhaps an inbox.
