> Wow, I've been off all meds for almost 2 months and been the highest weight in years, and those years were on all different ADs. Wish I knew the answer but my compulsive overeating is way out of hand now, and I have no idea what to do. Seems the SRRIs helped me initially and think I must go back. Suicide seems the only option and I think about it constantly. Almost makes me angry that I can't do it due to family. I hate my life, I hate me, and there is nothing I enjoy.
I am glad Mary answered your letter so well. It seems we are all in the same boat. Perhaps there is someone reading these notes who has found some positive solutions. I am usually not inclined to go for counseling. I have a hard time leaning on anyone but myself. It seems exercise would be a good start but I can't hardly even begin doing my chores around the house. I'd like to start the day with walks, though. Maybe we can use this site as a way to encourage one another to take small steps towards getting out of our ruts together. My brother took his life, and it has been a great loss to me for many years. I wish he could have had the help we didn't know he needed. Sue Doe
