The weight of depression and anxiety

1 Reply

I have really been fighting to lower my weight. Due to my disorders I have bingeing episodes. I have tried many diets without success. Trying to get a handle on my weight that is influenced by anxiety and depression creates anxiety and depression. Thanks for letting me vent.

Do you feel better after venting here? Or do you need more time? You really didn't vent for very long. I understand how you can get depressed over being overweight and then eat to comfort yourself. That's circular thinking that just makes the problem grow. But so many people do it. It makes perfect sense at the time.

What have you done for your depression and anxiety? Are you on any medications? It would help to know if you are.

Not what you're looking for?
