Starting my lifestyle change

[RevDevil]

There is a difference between depression and oppression. If the state of mind is based on weight and lack of healthy choices, that leads to a domino affect of other variables, then it could be oppression. Thus weight loss and excercise would be benefical. If there is a chemical imbalance then it could very well be depression and no matter how much weight is lost the root issue will remain. Inductive vs deductive basically

No matter the root, the mind set displayed in the post thus far are red flags imo that there is an underlining issue and the weight issue is not the most prominent.

This is why I suggested a professional who can determine and discern the root cause. The forum is not a place to speculate on a matter of physical and psychological health. He needs to speak to someone trained and in person.

To the OP - I hope you do atleast attempt to speak to someone. What do you have to lose in trying.

I agree. This sounds like severe body dysmorphic disorder with a side of general depression a d some OCD. Talk to your do tor a d tell him hat you are feeling and going through. Keep a journal of your feelings, thouhts, behaviors, etx. When the time comes you have talking points when you decide counseling is in order.

Are you trying to convert him to Scientology?

More like the little engine that could. I think I can, I think I can. 😄

So I've been taking my burprobion hcl xl for a little over a week now and I'm not sure how I like it. On one hand I'm much more relaxed now. On the other I just feel rather numb. I'm able to get through work just fine. But I have no desire to anything else. This whole weekend I have done nothing but lounge around and slept it. Also been snacking, oh boy the snacking. I know that I'm a stress eater, and I'm working on that. But I need to start reining in again. Even though I feel full, I usually end up feeling bloated by the end of the night.
