If anyone suffers from a Hyperthyroidism condition? Could you help me?

How are you dealing with this and also even though i was diagnosed with this condition about 4yrs ago, i did loss alot of weight then over the years I've gained so much weight and feel so fed up as I've been doing healthy diets, gym, jogging around the block, trying not to eat for the whole day sometimes either bcos busy at work or really dnt want to gain weight again. Nothing seems to work. Has anyone suffering with this condition and have noticed weight gain, tiredness, depression and similar situations to mine. I've had No success with losing weight. Really fed up of being around people who dnt understand anything about the condition and just like to mention my weight gain.

need some help!
