I am a binge eater by nature but since my breakdown and the depression my appetite isn't all there. I have to force myself to eat so I can run. When I run I get the endorphins going and I feel great while running. Right now I'm being treated for depression and anxiety. I currently go to an outpatient program that's for people with depression and or anxiety and find it most helpful. My T suggested I go to an outpatient program based on my situation as inpatient didn't seem like a good fit for me at the time (in some way I think it would not be a bad idea as I would get a 'vacation' from my responsibilities - but I would miss my kids a lot). Also just going to see T 1x a week wasn't going to be enough for my treatment and I'm glad I decided to do the outpatient program. It's very intensive but I find it helpful to connect with others fighting the same illness.

Perhaps an outpatient program or even inpatient might be good for you? Hope you feel better soon.
