NYNY update - Joyce **Elaine**
Thanks, Lesanne. Since I have never had a bout like this one, I just thought I
could handle it on my own like I did with the other smaller ones. I now realize that if it happens again, I must get the docs help. I do now I will binge again from stress, but I can handle the small ones, but if this kind of depression eating happens again, I will go to the doc for help. Thanks for listening, Lesanne.

Just remember that most medications for depression take about 3 weeks to
take effect. You might talk to the doctor before it happens again. "Elaine Kirkham" wrote in message ... Thanks, Lesanne.

NYNY update - Joyce
I started taking Celexa (an anti-depressant) and it has helped a lot. I
really hate the idea of taking a drug like that b/c it makes me feel like I have a weakness b/c I can't take care of myself. But I wish you luck, I hope that you find a solution. I did hear that some of them can make it hard to lose weight or even cause you to gain weight. However, I find it makes me want to be more active.

One brand that will actually help you lose weight is Wellbutrin. It is also
used to help people quit smoking and help control the munchies. Don't think of this as a weakness. Many forms of depression are actually caused by chemical imbalances and are out of your control.

NYNY update - Joyce
Thanks Lee. I know that the meetings are very important to me and the one I go
to is just great. Even when I didn't go to the meeting, I used this group as my lifeline & eventually the depression lifted. It seems to be gone now & hopefully will stay away. I usually think of things as 1/2 full rather than 1/2 empty, but not this time. ... Doesn't matter now as I seem to be back to normal ;-D and it feels great.

You are very important to this group and to me in particular so please stay well, and as far as meds. go, I know several people who have used them on a temporary basis with decent results, Lee, grateful Joyce asked because, lee is a chickensh*t Elaine Kirkham wrote in message ... No, I'm sorry to say that it's not a typo. I went for my weigh in on Fri for the first time in over 3 week. I knew it would be bad as for the first time in my life I was eating so completely out of control that I was at the point of going to the doctor to see what if there was anything physical wrong. What stopped me was that I got a lovely card from my WW centre saying that they hoped all was well and that they looked forward to seeing me again. Before I got that I had no intention of going back but that one note changed things for me. I went & got the horrible truth about my gain --- but I am now back on program fully & raring to go. It was simply one of the worst cases of depression that I have ever experienced in my life but all it took was that little note to pull me out of it. I was surprised at how caring everyone was at the meeting - they didn't make me feel bad because of the weight I put on but just welcomed me back & made me feel so comfortable. Aside from the health problems with my hubby & the worry there, my feet started to hurt so much & I found it very difficult to walk much. I have had to resort to the bike but can't do much there as I also have bad knees. I was just feeling so sorry for myself that I started to eat myself to death ;-( This has happened before but never as bad as this was. I think that next time I start to let go (and I know it will happen again), I just might try the drug route with the doc & get pill for the depresseion to see if that will keep me away from the non stop eating of sweets.

NYNY update - Joyce **Elaine**
Thanks Laura, but I know I will not take drugs unless I need them and this
depression (the worst of it) lasted about 3 weeks. Usually I can pull myself out of it in a couple of days by walking, but I find I can't walk these days, so I must find another way to break it - I'm thinking about Curves as an alternative but don't know if my aching bones will be able to handle it ;-D Elaine K 331.4/222.2/179 Laura wrote: Just remember that most medications for depression take about 3 weeks to take effect. You might talk to the doctor before it happens again. "Elaine Kirkham" wrote in message ... Thanks, Lesanne. Since I have never had a bout like this one, I just thought I could handle it on my own like I did with the other smaller ones. I now realize that if it happens again, I must get the docs help. I do now I will binge again from stress, but I can handle the small ones, but if this kind of depression eating happens again, I will go to the doc for help. Thanks for listening, Lesanne. Elaine K 331.4/222.2/179 Lesanne wrote: This has happened to me so many times! Just write down somewhere how accepted you were when you went back. And I highly recommend getting medication for a bit when you realize it. I have used it several times in the past, never for more than a month or two. Somehow just Going to get it lifts my spirits.
