Sad, struggling, but surviving

General
I've always suffered from depression but lately I've noticed a sad side effect :(
So recently I have noticed if I don't eat it makes my mood a lot worse, which I guess is normal. However the upshot of this is I've recently put on a lot of weight.
I put on my favorite outfit yesterday (my BITCHIN' Dungerees) and I looked in the mirror and i just felt so deflated.
My tummy is so big atm and in general there is fat everywhere.
I used to be so skinny, and I used to at least be able to keep it managable.
It feels like I fix (or shore up) one thing and another thing breaks.
But we abide. Just venting, I'll be ok.

FA+

And I'm trying, working on the old meat computer currently (on the waiting list for a therapist and on stronger meds) so hopefully once I can work on the physical some more. I'd like to go to the gym just for the strength and to build up some resilience but baby steps first haha
*Sheep hugs*
It's weird, I'm like really fat positive with other people but I look at myself and I'm just like "Ew"
