My anxiety being more of a priority than depression, I think? I'm having health issues, physical health issues, that are just worsening because of my weight and I really need help with my weight but more than just eating bad and the medicine I'm on. I think it's a psychological thing. Like I use food for comfort. My body is in bad shape due to that, but idk how to address it. I don't address it either because I'm so concerned about my anxieties in life. My anxiety controls me.

HUGS newtus. What kind of coping skills do you have set up to deal with the anxiety? Do you take medication for anxiety? If not, can your pdoc give you some? How about yoga and meditation? Puzzles are supposed to be good for anxiety. Old fashioned jigsaw kind of puzzles. Something about sorting the pieces. Very soothing. Of course I find them downright irritating because I can't figure them out but they are supposed to be soothing. Also like scents like lavender and stuff might help. Praying helps me. Don't know if you are religious. But if not, you might be able to find a saying that you can say over and over that would help. The serenity prayer is a good one. HUGS Kit
