So today for some of the day I was sad due to lonliness. I watched tv and got sad when the couple kissed. Last night I felt like crying cause I have no girlfriend. I may have a bit. Today I am also pretty irritable. Everything is setting me off, traffic, work, phone ringing, incoming texts, and autocorrect.
My buddy said that me being off of contrave is the cultprit. Contrave is a weight loss drug that contains Wellbutrin 150mg. Unfortunately I was prescribed this in iop and my primary didn’t prescribe it since I was seeing s weight loss doctor. I don’t see that doctor till next week.
Lonliness

It’s almost the same as it was before I went to iop. I’m frustrated and ashamed that I’m single at this part of the game. I feel like a failure, although I know I am not one. I just want a girlfriend so bad. Unlike yesterday, I did not spend the day in bed. I had a doctors appointment for my foot, then got home picked up a pain med some food shopping, worked out did laundry made some food for work and now I’m at work.

Being alone does suck. I am too. I don't think I deserve anyone most of the time.
I understand loneliness.
I'm sorry about everything agitating you. Coming down from antidepressants sucks. I know another person that's had to stop taking Wellbutrin recently and she's having a hard time too.

Could def be Wellbutrin withdrawal. It’s possible the extra AD was helping your mood without you knowing. Maybe contact pdoc and see if he/she can add Wellbutrin. Sorry you’re feeling low again.

I can sympathise with some of what you must be going through. I also struggle with depression, weight and would also like to find that one special person for a meaningful and loving relationship but, I just don't feel like I'm in a position where I can right now and even if I were I really wouldn't know where to begin. It's times like this that I'm greatful for my imaginative capacities and to a degree even my schizophrenia as it allows me to loose myself and submerge myself in deep thought where I can be both the author and even the protagonist if I so choose it. Is it unhealthy? If it is I do not care. It helps me when I'm down and that's all that matters to me. I'm not suggesting that you start trying to do this but, if you aren't in therapy and have a self esteem issue, you may want to focus on doing something about that with either self help books or with a therapist. Also fantasy itself is not a bad thing as long as you don't convince yourself that any of it is real. Fantasy can actually be very theraputic. You may want to go to your local library and check out some books on it. I hope that your situation improves.

I spent many years lonely and wanting a boyfriend. Now I'm just lonely. Thanks for posting. Maybe we can commiserate.

I was only on wellbutrin for a month and when I stopped I felt awful for three days and
very irritable, you may be feeling some affects. It does help you lose weight but I never
felt good on it.

Yea I was doing well with contrave then final two weeks had stomach issues, then I ran out. Hunger has increased, stomach issues decreased, gained few lbs already. Today determined to be healthy.
I realized my amount of Wellbutrin daily in contrave was 270mg.

I know that you're looking for something more substantial - a true meeting of the minds and hearts, but if you can emotionally handle the casual scene it might boost your mood and self esteem, and that would make you look more appealing to potential long-term partners.

I've heard both positive and negative things about apps like Tinder. If I wasn't with someone, and if I was absolutely heartsick due to being alone, I'd have no problem giving one of them a try. There are also more conservative dating sites like Match. Unfortunately, we're guys and we wouldn't be likely to get a dozen emails so we'd have to approach and probably strike out with a lot of women just like if we were at a bar, but I suppose that's the way that the world works. And hell, as far as I know you're 6' 4", rich, with the personal magnetism of Chris Hemsworth or whoever ladies go nuts for these days - you might bury me and any other potential competition on Match.

Just keeping pushing Boogie! You have the tools to get better and stay better, just have to think positive and keep working to get to your weight goals to make you feel better. I went from 212 when I got depressed last year to 259 and now back to 240 and feel so much better and will get to 212 by summer and feel confident again, u can do it too!
