Help! Still dealing with Depression!!!

Hi All Sorry I haven't been on in a while but I was dealing with my husband being in and out of the hospital the last 3 weeks. He is much better now but he has a hard time gaining weight. We are trying different things which are helping but I am making up for him by over eating. I have been drowning my sorrows in unhealthy food to the point that I get so upset and frustrated with myself for eating the unhealthy food. Today I actually smacked myself in the face as a wake up call and didn't realize until after that it sting pretty good. I didn't mean to hit myself that hard but was trying to do a reality check and say Hey what the heck are you doing. I tried doing word searches, reading a book, watching TV and coloring but nothing helps. I still get bored especially at night. Any suggestions as what I can do instead of stuffing food in my face?

Hi, I think you should write your thought down on piece of paper. I also sometimes feel like hitting myself so to control my anger, I write things that I am angry about on a paper and, I feel much better after doing it.

Thank You and I have been doing that off and on which does help. When I start writing sometimes I don's stop until I have written a book. LOL
