Been awhile

Hi. It's been awhile since I've posted here. I'm just wanting to post an update. I'm eating again here and there. I still have my days I can't eat without panicking at the thought of food 🫤. My depression has been bad again lately. I see everyone having cute precious babies, yet I lost 2 and it makes me wonder 😔💔. I'm not very good with words, but if anyone ever needs a friend or someone to listen to them vent, I'm always open to new friendships and to talk

Im ok...I try to be at least. For the few people who do seem like they care that is. I just feel so useless and hate life most the time honestly. I struggle with eating still, even over a year later. It's hard, and most days I can barely even bring myself to eat anything soft

I am in the same condition, even with medication. I thought I recovered in March, when I stopped the medication, but in August had another episode that threw me back into meds and struggle with eating. Last time I lost 13 kg. Now again I am starting to lose weight. But I believe that if I did it last time, maybe I will be able to do it again and be close to normal, as I think I will never get back to normal.

Do you get any meds for the depression?

I was on medication. It made me worse mentally so I had to stop. They tried upping my dose, which just made me worse and I couldn't leave my home more than an hour without having severe panic attacks.

I am sorry to hear this. Do you know what made you start having this panic attacks? I also have a hard time leaving the house, especially in the morning. Went to therapy, was ok for a while, now it all got back. I am sure both of us will be ok eventually!
