Shalene,

I would kill to be 125 lbs. That's mostly the reason I have severe depression. I'm older than you and have lived alone for 5 years after 29 years of marriage. It seems like I just work all the time at a job I hate, which I will probably lose soon and I really don't care. Not sure I know what you can do to help, I guess I'm new here and looking for anyone to respond.

Hi Jerry !

My name is David. The one thing I've found that helps is going on line to this site and typing out whatever is on my mind. You are among people that know what you are going through. There are a lot of people that can give good advice. Now's the time for you to stop feeling so alone. It's been a year since I started the program (I finished it in December of 08). The changes I've made are remarkable. People around me have noticed a huge difference. You can do the same. Just don't give up !

Hey guys thanks for the encourgament, it does make a difference hearing it from someone who can relate. I'm going through the program but a little skeptical, its hard to beleive that something you have been hiding and fighting your whole life can be controlled with a program. I will see it through and keep a positive outlook, at this point I don't have anything to loose but a lot to gain. I have felt a difference in my outlook on things, My depression doesn't linger on like it use to, so I guess I am gaining some of the skills and they seem to be working. Thanks again

Hi FanCFace...I really think what helps the most is just being able to say whats on your mind, and knowing that everyone here can relate. I was married 17 years...then divorced. I'm here to tell you that is one of the hardest things to go through, and my heart goes out to you...it took me forever to get over it, and there is still days when I'm not sure I have. I don't know that I can help...there are days when I can't seem to help myself...but I would like to try...maybe we can help each other. Keep your head up ...& know you can talk to me anytime.
