Depressed, unmotivated, & I need to lose weight..

3 Replies

Went through a panic attack the night after lets say a "party" night... I'm now depressed and I've been unmotivated for so long, I need to lose weight. I just can't seem to get started or stick with a diet. I feel so down and feel like I see the world differently now.

Not to lessen your feelings but alcohol is a depressant. I should know. After a party night it's natural to feel depressed no matter what happened. It also makes us crave sugar so we crash and then feel anxious and hungry. All natural physical responses. I'm no doctor but I've been around enough to know that we think its us but its really biology. We need to stop drinking for a few days and it will even out. Natural response but it still feels ick and I don't like it!

Yes, kinikia95 is abs right! Alcohol IS a major depressant, and I should know ALSO!! Big time! Try and slow your intake down, or even give up for a while if you can, you will feel better and things will even out! Drink anything but alcohol! If you can, or water to flush out your system. I drink loads of tea, but feel OK for it. xx

Im there with you, my weight has been something I've battled with since my teens. Slimming World helped while I was on it, but I've put it all back on now. Focus on being mentally well and take little steps.

Don't try to fix everything in one go, that's just too overwhelming. Give yourself a break.
