Entry Depression
Jun 27 2009 15:19


I've quietly struggled with depression for a long time. Right now I'm depressed because I'm home with my dog, my ex-boyfriend is with his new skinnier girlfriend, and my friends are all down in Colorado. Cry I know that going to the gym and going for a run or swimming would help me a million percent. The problem is that I can't get the strength to get up and go. I want to sit here and sulk with my dog and my food. This is why I've gained weight. I know how to help myself but it is physically draining to take the first step to do that. Ugh I need to get off the site and to the gym!Yell

Sometimes life can be rough Cry  We all have highs and lows, my ex is also with a new skinnier girlfriend, but I don't care, they are ex's for a reason.  But being skinnier doesn't make them better in any way. Not only is he my ex but he is also my baby's daddy, so unfortunately I still have to see him regularly and he moved his girlfriend in the house that we had togetherYell  I now have a new boyfriend who is so much better for me though, he supports me and encourages me to be healthier, we work out together go grocery store shopping together, it is awesome.  Everything happens for a reason.  Funny you should say your friends are all down in Colorado, my best friend that I have had since I was 3 just moved to Colorado too.  I live in Ohio so it really sucks, I miss her like crazy!  I still talk to her but it isn't the same.  Hopefully you found the strength to make it to the gym and if not each day is a new beginning, don't give up on yourself!

hey templeton is right!  Size doesn't determine what type of girlfriend she is to your ex.  Don't let that get you down.  Lose the weight you want to lose for YOU and for your HEALTH, not for someone else.  Sorry you miss your friends are you still talking to them?  Try to do something for yourself that pumps you up like listening to upbeat music or taking your dog out for a nice long hike or walk.  I hope you feel better

My friends were just all down in Colorado for the weekend and I was stuck in lame Casper Wyoming. I am doing it for me, I was just having a fit about everything lol. I did end up going to the gym though!

Well at least your friends are coming back Smile  That's good, mine aren't coming back Cry It is also good to hear that you are doing this for yourself, that is very important!  I do also understand how it is to have a fit about everything, LOL, I had one right before my HS reunion (Sat.) because I didn't have anything to wear and I and I didn't want to go because I had gained weight and I didn't want people I hadn't seen in 10 years noticing that.  Luckily my boyfriend convinced me that I was being silly and that I should go and I'm glad that I did Laughing
