Hi,
I am new also. There sure do seem to be a lot of people signing up today. :)
The bright sunshine here has made me want to get out of the house and the depressed mood that has taken root. (again!) I have been depressed off and on for as long as I can remember.
I know I am depressed, and I had been on medication before. I don't want to take anything because of the side effects I experienced last time. Also, the associated weight gain made me feel even worse.
So, here I am, it's Spring and it seems like a good time to make a new start. I am quite overweight, which is both a cause and symptom of my problems. Honestly, the body image/weight thing is my biggest issue. It makes me sad and scared to leave the house. I desparately want to feel better and enjoy my life.
Thanks for listening. Hopefully I will be a bit more positive as I move through this program.
