Ithink the Bitchy Librarian is right. Change is hard, and moving is a biggie. Please take care of yourself. I think you should check out the blog Totally Centered Cynthia. She talkes a lot dealing with depression/substance abuse/over eating. I really enjoy her writing. <br /><br />Have you thought about changing yoru medication?

I need to grow a pair and deal with it and stop blaming depression...but then the small stronger part of me says "fuck that" and I head for the chocolate and the bed.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Eating is a good thing.

You mentioned that you're facing unemployment AND moving? One of those is enough to cause me enough stress to fell a large elephant, and you're dealing with BOTH? Yeah, stress. <br /><br />Change in any capacity is enough to fuck with someone, and even though your life is going relatively well, the underlying stress could be enough to tip the scales into the negative side.<br /><br />At least you have a strong support network and have recognized that something isn't right. The last time I went on a depression bender, I stopped eating and took multivitams as a substitute for food. Oops?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
