How to you feel good about yourself>? I hate the way I look and feel. I am thinking about stopping my meds because they are not working anyway. I hate looking in the Mirror. I put on 10lbs from the Depo shot and now its so hard to loose it. Well I started today on the Atkins diet. I lost weight on it before. But anyway I didnt gain all the weight from the shot I eat when I am depressed. It usually feels good and makes me feel better at the time. I hate being so stupied, I had to go on a leave on absense from school. I dont no I will stop complaining!!!Thanks for listening!!

Hi Heather,

Thanks for sharing. How are you feeling lately?

God bless, Tapero

I also have gained a lot of weight in the past 6 months or so, mainly due to comfort eating. I don't like my self image, infact recently I have gained more confidence but I still dislike the way I look, and feel that people judge me too harshly before even trying to get to know me. Plus, I don't think that you have been stupid at all.

Hi, Heather You look beautiful in your profile picture. How long have you been taking the medicine? Do you exercise?

When I went through depression, I had trouble with school as well and had to go on homebound schooling during high school. I've heard a lot of people with depression say they've had trouble with various aspects regarding school; so, you're not stupid, you're normal and going through what many others have gone through with depression and school.

You asked how people feel good about themselves. For me, it helps to exercise regularly and do volunteer work. I am currently overweight (and in the process of changing that) but ironically, my self esteem and confidence now is much better than it ever was when I was younger and thinner.
