I am new

Hello. I am new here. I feel so isolated from my friends because they don't have time for me and I need support and new friends! I struggle with obesity (I stress eat and eat from boredom), anxiety, and depression. I am not sure how this all works? I am trying a new dosage for anxiety. I have a lot of other health issues that constantly add to my anxiety. Years ago, I have been to Therapy, Psychologist's, Psychiatrist's before, and was misdiagnosed for seven years, using several different medications which only caused obesity and hospitalizations! Now I have to deal with the obesity from all the medications I took! I have struggled with this for over 20+ years, and was hoping by now there would be a better solution for me, but have not found any relief.

I find that if I'm depressed I don't eat but when I'm 'well' I do, so for me its not the medications but the depression itself that makes the difference. Having been properly medicated for about 10 years now...I have a BMI of 60.
