thank you so much for responding. i am doing all the work i possibly can in terms of meditation, food supplements, exercising. when i have days like this one, when i am totally all alone all day becuase of depression it is hard to have any hope... i just keep thining its coming back, its coming back. oh my god its coming back and as much as i try to believe all of your i just think it won't work for me. thank you.

As for drinking and eating - i am grossly overweight - but small changes help - swap the coke for diet coke - better still caffeine free diet coke - treat yourself to a smoothie maker and some exotic fruit and make some amazing smoothies - makes u feel so much better than chocolate - and that is advice from the world's no.1 chocaholic!! If your psychiatrist is going on about fearing a re-lapse - change dr.s - she should be being positive with you - negativity is and causes depression - have you read the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy book by Dr.Burns - super book - saved mine and many, many other lives - especially as we all become drug free!!
