    • About Me

      I am 34, married with kids, they are 18, 13, and 8.. I have a great Husband. So why am I depressed? I don't know why but I am.. I am really unhappy now that I put on 25+ lbs since being on Wellbutrin... I don't like myself, stay home don't go nowhere, I hate to look in the mirror.. I just am not me anymore.. I want my old self back.. All my problems started in 06. Long story but it had to do with my marriage. Things are great now in that department it is me with issues of guilt and guilt and more guilt..

      From sadwone April 19

      Just checking on you. Hope all is well. I just noticed you and I are fighting for the exact same weight goals. I am 25lbs over my ideal and that puts me at 160. For 5'7" I should be back to at least my old 135lb. I may follow in your footsteps and start a weight goal too. Talk with you soon-Sadwone

      Sleep seems to be the name of the game doesn't it. It is my very favorite thing to do and the only way we seem to get relief. I know you know what I mean. Anyway, Easter was there. Did the family thing but for the first time it was at someone elses house but mine. I just couldn't do it this year. Didn't have the energy. Glad your back
