Hey Allie,
I am also on anti depressant drugs. Zoloft 300mg per day. I have 5 herniated disk in my back, and carpal tunnel in both of my hands. I also have been out of work for over a year now. I have had 4 surgeries so far to try to correct the back problems, but not much luck yet. I dont know why eating is so comforting, but its just like a saftey blankett. Seems like sometimes that food is the only friend we have. I know that isnt very positive. Sad but true! I know that I cant just let myself go because I am out of work, but sometimes pity is just easier. Some days I dont even feel like looking at other people. I guess its because I feel like they are looking at me and laughing. Crazy huh! I had a pretty good job before I got hurt. Where I come from good jobs are hard to come by. The future seems a little grim, but I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just have to keep my head up, and press on. Normally I just eat oatmeal for breakfast, turkey sandwich with fruit for lunch, and lean chicken with vegies for dinner. I try not to take in more than 1500 cals, and no less than 1200. I also use the treadmill everyday, whether I want to or not.Mostly not. Hope this helps. Keep your head up, it does get better. Hope to hear from you soon.
