    • About Me

      I am a 26 year old unemployed teacher:( I am looking at going back to school in the fall. Right now life is a bit hard. My boyfriend and I moved to this boring town a year ago for a new job he got. Then... he also got laid off. So here we are trying to make the best of things!!

    • Hug

      From bluntandsubtle August 7

      Hi Kate. I saw the post you wrote on the discussion boards and I wrote a reply there. But I also wanted to give you a hug and tell you that you're not alone and that I can listen if you ever need a friend to talk to. Also, I saw on your profile that you're a Christian. I am too

    • I’m With You

      From BeatinBP July 24

      kate, did you know that one of the body's natural defence mechanisms is to inflate to avoid further sexual abuse. Don't be surprised to find that this may apply to you, it happens at a subconscious level, hence the reason you may not have been aware of it. I suggest you talk to your pdoc about it, and see if in fact it could be the reason for your extra body weight. You may need to properly assess your ordeal before you can lose the weight, having said this though, that is my opinion only, I may be that far off the mark it isn't funny, but I would urge you to look into it some. LOVE YOU sweetheart.

      I envy you, two books a week, I am lucky to damn read one per year, lol. I was just wondering though, your avatar name is kate.... does that mean then that you are regularly called on for a date? Feel free to ignore this hug, I will understand that it is in fact none of my business, and that it was rude of me to announce myself in this way, unfortunately though I could not resist the temptation, do you know what I mean, lol? Be HAPPY, make the most of your current situation, it may be the part of your character that needed building upon, see it then as a positive experience, one you will never revisit again having experienced it. Love to you deary.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I always knew that I was depressed since a very young age but I never really did anything about it. I was then put on Effexor for anxiety and it helped some with my depression. I generally feel like I don't like life. It is not fun and I find it very hard. Most times I do not feel like life is worth it.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      I was originally on it for anxiety but I noticed I was just generally feeling better. The only side effect I have is decreased sex drive.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      My family is very supportive and always tell me they are there for me but I generally am very secretive. I know my family is there but choose not to share things even though I know it will make me feel better. Not sure on this one.
    • Close Obesity

      I am a 26 year old female and I am 5'10 and weigh 307 pounds. I have been heavy all of my life and it makes me sooooo depressed. I would say I let it effect every aspect of my life.

    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Improve overall fitness

      Trying to lose a lot of weight and would like to get some excercise tools.
