Help! How do I stop?

JessicaChase

After suffering some emotional pain caused by my daughter this summer, I basically gave up on life, including taking care of myself. I just did not care about anything. My heath went down hill. I've been on a continuous binge. I gained 28 pounds since June. I need help. I am stuck in this cycle and still do not care. I know my depression causes a lot of my behavior, but it's a cyclical problem. How do I stop?

I'm sure you know this but if you are convinced that it is depression causing your issues than you have to get to the root of what is underlying the depression. Therapy, medication, lifestyle changes (adequate rest, healthy diet, exercise can all help alleviate some of the pain caused by depression).........Have you tried any of those?

I'm sorry things are not well between you and your daughter. I hope the two of you can find a way to bridge that gap.
