    I have struggled with social anxiety and major depression since I was 12, and was diagnosed when I was 13-14. It's still frustrating to be numb for no reason, or scared to spend time with friends who clearly care about me. I've learned a lot of coping skills, some unhealthy, including emotional eating. And that is why I'm here.

    Add me if you're looking for a buddy! I'm pretty new to mfp and could use some people who know what it's like.

    This is clearly an old topic, but I was searching for depression on the forums because, obviously, I am dealing with a pretty severe bout of it myself right now. I was diagnosed bi-polar, but I don't really think that I am because it seems to only be caused by certain things and I don't have mania, ever. I get really super depressed though. I can't eat, all I want to do is sleep, and working out seems like the last thing in the world that I want to do. I have been in the current depressed phase since Tuesday. I have been working out hardcore for 3 months straight, lost 30 lbs, and then some *kitten* has the audacity to tell me I have cottage cheese on my legs. Compound that with my boyfriend being a total **** and totally being unsupportive, and we land here. I was able to push through the depression and work out and eat well until today. Today, I just can't seem to get a hold of it. :-/

    Feel free to add me! I have been dealing with anxiety for about five years and recently went through two bouts of major depression One because I forgot that you're supposed to Gradually come off your meds (I just stopped taking them when I felt better) BIG mistake. I know how hard it can be to get off the couch on a "bad" day but I found that working out gets the endorphins flowing and actually can turn a bad day into a good one. Hang in there!

    Depression, and it's one of the reasons I'm overweight. I don't like antidepressants so I eat. It's not really working so well for me! It's hard to break the cycle

    I can't believe I stumbled upon this today. I'm having a rough time lately. Depressed and no motivation. I have 3 herniated cervical discs that have been bothering me lately. I also need my gallbladder out and my insurance won't pay for it. Not that it would matter if they did because I can't afford the deductible anyway. My husband is an *kitten* and I'm just kind of over it all. I'm just not sure what to do about it all.

    I have anxiety/panic disorder and costochondritis. When both are driving me crazy it feels like my world is caving in.

    Same here! It is misery!
