So I’ve really been struggling with my thyroid disease and my depression recently to the point where I wish I had an eating disorder like I wish I was anorexic so that I didn’t feel so bad about myself. I know that’s terrible to say and I know I can’t control my weight gain to a certain degree because of my thyroid. I’m just really struggling to find the motivation to change my eating habits instead of just hating myself. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Wemberly, I wish I knew the answer. My weight problems are from my meds. And I could try to walk more... I’m sorry you’re hating on yourself! I’ve been there, but it’s not helping you. It’s tough to work through, learning to love & except yourself. I’m on the journey & having low self esteem most of my life makes this harder.
Are you taking synthroid or levothyroxine for your thyroid? I assume you have an underactive thyroid. These meds are highly effective regulating thyroid function.
I have been there and I understand what you are going through. Take it day by day and find someone that you can talk to or call when you feel that way. It is a long journey but it can be done and is well worth it. I am praying for you and if I can do anything please let me know. Big hugs!
