Greetings. I normally don't post here, but last night was a very bad night for me. I was pretty badly depressed. So I went shopping for a woman's suit for one of my classes, and I already don't like trying on clothing, but then I felt worse about myself since I'm fat. I had to in the first time in my life get a plus size. I've never done this before. All my other clothes are fine, but the blazer wasn't. I used to wear a medium and now I've gone up two-three sizes. Part of my weight gain is due to my medication for anxiety (I gained 10 pounds I believed). But anyways, I know part of being depressed about it is due to being a few days before my menstrual cycle, when I normally get depressed, but I felt really bad. Wish weight gain wasn't a side effect.

I'm sorry you were feeling depressed. I think most of us have to battle weight problems due to medication. I know I have put one 3 sizes in the last year or so. It's very discouraging. I'm sure you look nice in your new suit despite it being a plus size. There are a lot of plus size women that look beautiful. I hope your depression lightens soon.

I totally understand about the plus size section. I hate having to shop in that department. This time last year I was a normal size but I have now gained 100 lbs and cannot stand myself. I am disgusting. My depression is keeping me from any motivation so I continue to eat and not care about myself. I have two conferences coming up at the end of the month that I am dreading. I know people will be judging me and staring. I will probably end up hiding in my room during our free time.

I have gained so much weight where even the plus size shops aren't helping. I hate it, but I still manage.
