Nov 2013

Going thru a tough spell myself, hoping to find hope some days, lol. So many issues I'm dealing with. Still grieving the loss of my mom and sis; I lost them within 2 months of eachother 3 years ago. I'm starting menopause, so I feel like a different person. I've been mostly on meds since I was 16 for depression, this time I'm on Cymbalta, also for fibromyalgia that I have. Well, I've gained a ton of weight over the last few years which makes me physically uncomfortable. Don't know if it's menopause? Cymbalta? The hormone replacement I've been on? Eating to deal with the grief? I am no longer getting help or support from my longtime psychotherapist (since 1987!). She fat shames me I feel. She's disappointed I've gained weight Sorry, I have to stop for now. Just know you are not alone!
