It seems like something that is all in my head. I like drinking water(I used to drink about 10 to 12 gl...

Depression really puts eating on the back burner. The only time im quite hungry is in the morning. As long as I have breakfast I dont get hungry again for most of the day. Also, if I have a plate of food in front of me and I am starving for it, if something gets me upset I immediately lose my appeti...

I get that problem too. I will have breakfast and than a busy afternoon and evening and then its 8pm and I havent eaten anything. Its like eating has taken a backseat in my life. My body allows me to eat just enough to get by the day and no more. It drives me nuts.

I just wanted to say how brave I think you are for sharing your story. For me, when I write something that happened to me down it makes me relive it like it just happened and it stirs up a lot of feelings you pushed down. For you to have made it to the point where you can talk about it is a great ac...

Hello all, I will try not to spill my guts but basically, my depression and OCD started when I was about 10. I had small symptoms for many years but I just thought that I was different or weird. At 27 I got pregnant and shortly after I my baby I went overboard with emotions and 17 years of depressio...
