Your body is trying to tell you something.
You've lived too long.

I'm taking your question seriously because, due to many of your posts, it
sounds to me like you're having a meltdown, freaking out, and crying out for
help. If you're just trolling then shame on me. ;-o

Why the depression is the real question. Is it because of break up with the
ex? Who's choice was that, yours or hers? It makes a difference.

There's no food fix. Many depressed people cling to eating and eat
themselves fat (or fatter). Best to continue to eat healthy but don't rely
on that for a depression fix. Your body is under a lot of stress and you can
help with good nutrition.

Alcohol never solves any problem, it just covers it up. I'd avoid that for
now except for the occasional "blow the froth off a couple." A temporary
reprieve but certainly not the answer.

If it's a "break up with the ex" thing, best thing to do, imo (and I've been
there, done that), is to quit contacting her. Let it go. Constant contact
will just prolong your agony.

- get out of the house each day! Even to go grocery shopping. Talk to real
people. Don't sit home posting on a newsgroup constantly.

- quit hanging out with (aka - clinging to) the ex

- Think way back to one day, before you even met her, that you were so
happy. Realize that you were happy without her at one time. Focus on that
whenever the depression sets in.

- Get out of the house, meet new people, and time will heal all if you give
it the chance. Their is another great woman for you out there somewhere but
you have to get out and find her. She's looking for someone too.

You also mentioned unemployed. Take any cheap job just to make some change
and meet new people. Right now, you are a "Nobody" but you can become a
"Somebody" again. :-D

Actually, when I was 17 I was a goofy nerdy Catholic... and awkward around
girls... Damn you Catholic upbringing! Well, my parents did attend all my
Little League and grade school basketball games. And provided a decent
place to live.

I'll save your post. Marked it as Unread... I'm not ready. Thank you for
the reply

She's coming over and we are going to the library (10:30 ish she said. That
means like noon...). They have the 12:01 short story at Highlands-Shelby
Park I ordered ILL... I better do the 3 S's Did one already today.

I'm curious about what you mean by that. In my case it was my choice, but
second-guessing myself made me depressed.

Drugs would probably be the most effective way. Finding something that
works can be tricky and could take a while. My understanding is that
serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRIs) has revolutionized the treatment of
depression. I doubt that you'll get much help by dicking around with
foods. That's the breaks.

Get a job... a wallet crammed with cabbage will definitely elevate
your mood.

I tried that... few weeks... doc said: needs more time. I think he was in
cahoots with the drug company.

You're going to need more time. Sorry about that, that's the way this
class of drugs work. Give it 6 weeks at least.

He may be in cahoots with the drug companies. I doubt that it matters
much if the drugs work. Good luck!

Your choice and second-guessing can be depressing but it was your choice.
If the spouse broke up with you, add in rejection and nothing you can do
about it. It does make a difference.

On the other hand, stalking will do you a world of good!
Find out who she's seeing now! And when! And for how long!
Keeping a diary will help you focus on the REAL problem.
Which is her, of course. And the new guy. Depression is
caused by lack of focus. If you don't do this, you have
no one but yourself to blame.

it was mutual... why did she never get a job? All she did was cook
fattening things, make cookies and sleep.

when we dated, she joked she would get a job at Wal-Mart... even now, she's
still not working. I was distracted by her boobs. She had a-- still has--
a nice set.
