I run, or least used to. I've competed in marathons and ultramarathons and was training fairly well for the past 6 months for some fall events.
Everything fell apart a few weeks ago. I started overeating, depressed, crying, isolating, etc. I know what you mean about sitting around and scared to get out there cause it's not going to be pretty, but not doing anything is worse, etc.
I wish I had the willpower to stay on a vegetarian diet!!! I often have good intentions both for my health and for ethical reasons, and then give in to overwhelming cravings. I will keep trying. I KNOW if I can eat more nutriously, I will feel better.
I stopped taking my meds, just recently. Most would not think this is a good idea, but am concerned with a consensus that in the long term, SSRIs can increase the tendency for weight gain, even though short term there is often an appetite depressant. My history backs this up.
Luvox work great, initially, as did Effexor and Prozac, but after a while they stop working for me. When dosages are increased, I find it a decrease in strength and endurance.
I'm glad you found a good Dr.
