depression

Horasio

There are two things that scare me

Getting really really fat and feeling terrible, in front of people.

That is why I avoid anything that alters moods without being very sure.

People seem to know when you are not feeling your best.

is true that ppl seem to cause you more hassle when you really don't feel up to it.... it's like they've got radar or something

Prozac can help you lose weight and I lost 7lb in the first month, as it stopped me eating so much. I have trouble knowing when to stop once I start. I can go ages then once I get the taste and it is gorgeous, I have to keep going till I feel too full.

Coffee or tea helps the need to keep eating

that is one thing that's weird about citalopram.. I find it hard to cry too.. mention the effects to the psychiatrist when you go see him.. I don't get any of those symptoms. what time you have to go see him?

I think most of us have that problem

The only real way to lose weight is to take less energy in (eat less and better) and use more energy by doing exercise / being more active. The latter is particularly difficult when you're depressed.

Thanks for the hugs - I need them today.

Some extra hugs for Blinky

((((hugs)))

They are free and very MS:)

My ex had prozac.. it made his sweat smell really awful and he was like a monster on it.. didn't agree with him I spose.

I can be like that too.. if it's something creamy or chocolatey.. I get an awful attack of pigginess, lol

I drink gallons of tea and coffee... even have a huge one of those metal thermal mugs to take out with me . B/F got given it for being such a wizard poker player, along with loads of other stuff.. I refuse to wear the t-shirts n stuff but this mug is ace.. keeps it hot for hours and it doesn't spill, heheehe
