Oh i'm just upset becasue in my thread some of the response basically make me sound like a shallow whore who is so full of herself that she thinks she's perfect. And i'm crying becasue My leg hurts from physio and i'm fat and broke and really tired so evertyhing is seeming so much worse than it probably is.

Maybe a good cry can help you let the emotion out a bit in a healthy way, eh? And ignore the thread - if people are judging you like that then they obviously don't know you, so it shouldn't make much of an impression, as people who know you know you for the kind, compassionate soul you are.
I feel like such a sook though. ANd I can't judge properly if i'm over reacting to certain things and it's annoying/upsetting me even more! I should just stay off cause that would end that problem haha.
I'm a misery guts tonight! Sorry

Hi, kinda new here. I like the idea of that little bit extra support. Im quite a bit overweight based on my height etc. Im not that big but it still gets me down alot. I used to be super trim and fit but when I got really depresssed I lost all confidence in myself and gave up dancing, athletics, swimming etc. So now Im trying to get back inshape for me so feeling alot more self conscious than usual especially with summer on the way.
Maybe try taking back up one of your sports, it might help you feel better both physically and mentally!
You sound like you're pretty into sport and that'll be good for just toning up. Don't be hard on yourself, and keep posting here!

Jess, that's not true. Stay here and chat to us, what's going on?

That's not true, you're none of those things, I don't know what I can do to convince you, but you're really not.
*massive hugs*

I think you do [belong here]. But if it keeps getting you down maybe you need a break darlin'.
Claire, how're you?
& Champagne.Dreams, welcome! I saw your username before and just loved it, and and you're from Australia! :) Lovely to meet you, welcome to the thread.
I'm a bit rubbish today thanks, Aimee, how are you?

Kez; I'm in the same situation re: meds! I've never been assessed and it's been over a year, I don't even think they're effective any more. But they've decided to "keep me on them" even though I recently went dropping back down, then started therapy, and got better again. Crazy, huh? I like to think they help my concentration though. Good luck - hope they're repsonsive to you.
Well. Here's how it went at the doctors.
Firstly i went in and complained i hadn't been able to get an appointment with my own doctor for four months. I then complained that my CBT sessions had been every two months as opposed to every two weeks. This has been sorted out, as he didn't realise this was the case.
Secondly, i told him i didn't feel i needed to be on anti depressants any more, and that i haven't really been assessed in over a year, and i felt they have significantly contributed to my weight. So we did that wierd on screen test they like to do where they ask you questions (i think its called a core test or something) and assess how bad you feel. Thankfully, my answers indicated i was two points away from 'normal'. He has told me i can stop taking the Chlorpromazine, but he doesn't want me to stop taking the Mirtazapine (anti depressants) just yet untill i see how i do without the Chlorpromazine. He also wants me to finish my CBT. He then booked me an appointment there and then for two weeks time to asses how i'm doing without it. As for the weight thing, he said there was 'no proof' to directly link my weight to my medication, which personally, i think is utter bull.
I guess i'm slightly relieved that i have got rid of one lot of medication, but still slightly dissapointed i still have to be on anti depressants. Less medication's got to be good though, right?!

Thanks. The welcome here is very warm and I really appreciate it. I am trying really hard at the. Moment to get back to swimming but with working and studyibg full time is proving tricky.
It's really difficult with study & work isn't it! I'm studying full time too so it does make it hard, but I also find it can be a really good break from studying, too. Helps concentration & all.
Claire, sorry to hear that, what's up love?
Kez - high five for assertiveness, well done :D I think one less is good, and really, it's very responsible to be coming off them that way instead of both at once, which might have nasty side effects. Congrats girl :)
Hey :)
Have you seen the thread on Compulsive Over Eating / Binge Eating that Aimee posted? There are some really good tips there about avoiding overeating, so I'd suggest working through those and seeing if it helps. I eat a lot of 'bad' stuff, especially when I'm feeling awful, and the things that I find help are sorting out a meal plan [but NOT one that I have to stick to rigidly] with healthy things that taste good, and not cutting out everything unhealthy. So I'm sort of learning to enjoy eating well. And finding something to do to distract myself, something that I enjoy and I can't do at the same time as binging - exercise, and I'm learning to make jewellery, which is rather fun. I also find that not keeping 'binge food' in the house helps. But that may just be because it's a long walk to the shop and I'm lazy =P
But most importantly. If you're eating because you're feeling low, then that's what you need to focus on. Why are you feeling so low lately, and what do you think would help? I also find that when I'm having a really horrible time, trying to beat anything, whether it be self-harm, overeating, whatever, is damn near pointless. I just won't have the motivation to do it. So working on your mood is the best start. Talk to someone? Do things that usually cheer you up? Eh, sorry for going on, but I hope you're doing okay. We're here for you; maybe posting in the ED board would help, and give you a wider range of replies (even if it's only lately, it's always good to catch it before it becomes too much of a problem). Take care of yourself, yeah? Oh, and keep posting in here if you want to, it's fun =] x
That was very helpful THANKS a mill .I just kinda crave fast food when Im low and Im low cos I lost a number of jobs but Im trying to rectify that.I need to be active but when youre not working ,its so bloody boring like.
:)
Sounds like you're trying to do the right thing. It's nice to finally get to chatting to you, I see you around often and think you're just lovely. How are things going today?
I don't want to lie. So I won't.
My hair looks amazing.
It's platinum blonde.
