I feel your pain. I struggle with depression and over eating. I am in the middle of a crisis with my daughter in foster care and I can't stop eating. Wish I was one of those people who can't eat when they are stressed. I can't stop putting food in my mouth. I don't have the issues with alcohol and pot but I can relate to the depression. It takes over you. The negativeness of it is devastating and at times, I too wonder how can I go on? How much more can I take??
Do you have a therapist? I see mine weekly and I am on Wellbutrin, Effexor and Trazedone. The psychiatrist just increased my Effexor. I tend to isolate, sleep a lot, and cry when really depressed. Right now, my thoughts are about my daughter and how to help her.
Do you keep a journal? That helps me too.
Just trying to give you ideas...Just know that you're not alone!
