I hope the medication works. No one wants to see you get worse.

And congrats on the surprise weight loss.

I hope it does too. It would be nice to not be so upset all the damn time.

Thanks. I thought I was like 230 but I was 207. I'm still fat though. :|

Well, Spring is coming up...

that sucks :(

I've tried depression pills before, they don't seem to work. I think they're a quick buck for them.

I think their effectiveness varies. My mom is on them and said they work well for her.

Shit, nigga. :[ I hope you're ok. To be honest, I've been wanting for a very long time to get diagnosed for depression, but I haven't got the balls to say to my parents that I'm depressed because they'll just laugh at me. :/ If you got any of those pills left, note me for my address so you can send them to me. :VV Anyway, it's great to hear you're also getting healthy. :3c Hope everything works out for ya!

Just tell them about it. It's better to get it treated early then let it get worse. Trust me.

That would be so damned hard, though. ;-; I even talk to them about how I feel so down every now and then and they go on a "BLARGH, WHATS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU HAVE A FAMILY AND A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD, BLARGH etc" sort of rant. My parents are both landlords and they've grown a complete HATRED of people who claim depression due to the way it mixes up with the council which forces us to give them homes for free, cutting our income by a shitload, you can imagine what other thoughts crop up with them, I guess.

I could ask my college if they could give me some sort of advice and set stuff up for me (they do do that kinda thing, hell, they give out free condoms and STD treatment in secrecy) or I could just hold on till shit gets better. :3c I know what I've got ahead of me, it may not be brilliant, but it's a start.

I also like cake.

Bring it up with your college then. Don't just sit on it. It only gets worse.

Damn, son. That seemed so...easy. "Hey doc, I'm emo!" "Oh, well take these and see me in two weeks!"

SURPRISE WEIGHT LOSS. Damn, I wish I could do that. :(

That's pretty much how it went down too. She just said call her if I start noticing any side effects.

We all do. =[ I think I was just being emo and thought I weighed more than I did.

My doctor simply says "I'll refer you to a therapist". Dammit. >:[

Apparently I have lost weight, so says my mom, but I don't see it. Then again, I don't look at myself.

My doctor said that too. She said the pills help but therapy is also important.

People told me that too and that was my exact reaction. STOP BEING MY EVIL FEMALE CLONE >=[

Bah. My doctor said no pills unless the therapist said so.

I CAN'T HELP IT!

Then your doctor is lame.

THIS IS WEIRD D:

I deal with depression too, and medication helped me. I take Lexapro. xD

Hopefully the meds will help me too. Good to hear they helped you.

I hope so too. I hate the feeling of depression, and I would only wish it in someone who has wronged me greatly.

You on the other hand, don't deserve it at all.

Good luck. Hopefully this can help fix your self esteem issues a little too.

Also, why don't you just have a scale to weigh yourself on?

Thanks man. I assume it will help, at least.

Because I was afraid of weighing myself and turning out to be a disgusting fat 250lb blob.

...oh.

I don't know the feeling because I obsessively weigh myself every time I'm near a scale.

I'm the exact opposite and obsessively avoid scales.

LET'S SEE WHICH ONE OF US WINS IN THE END

I never win. =[

Good luck with the depression pills. And congrats on the weight loss. I hope the pills help with your self-image issues a little bit.

Thanks. I guess we'll find out.

Hope those pills will help you put, good luck with it. Happy surprises are the best surprises, too. Congrats!
