☹ Not posting this for any kind of debate, just my personal feelings.
FS is in turmoil right now and it is disheartening to read things that are being thrown out there. I'm disturbed most by the subject of mental illness. I feel this is not a subject to be used as a weapon nor should anyone be made to feel ashamed for using medications to control diagnoses. In trying to hit the bulleyes I fear that people will not reach out when needing help. Feel mortified if they do share things out well be used against them in the future.
Unless you've gone through that darkness, you truly don't have an understanding of just how that tunnel can seem endless. To the point of no return. I've shared before that my brother committed suicide because of deep depression and anxiety. I can't imagine how some people on here might be reasons some of this stuff and go that route because hey... in their mind they are outcasts who will always be different because of meds. So they take that way out of the pain and darkness.
Think before using a person's life against them.
On the wellness front, KUDOS to those of us hanging on. If you're not at a blue line, keep striving forward. Please don't let what is going on distract from YOUR ultimate goal. None of us are perfect, especially at this moment when the world is a sheot show.
I ask for the respect of not being a hateful Harry on here.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. I've had a boy that was like a son to me, a mother in law & too many good friends that have taken their lives. It's such a horrible thing, depression/anxiety. I myself was once in my own dark place. I got the help I desperately needed & I'm still here! I have my moments of anxiety but I have methods to calm myself.
One of my biggest anxieties is my weight. I have gained almost 40#'s since I stopped using drugs 3 years ago this July. I've gotten everything else back on track in my life & have busted my a$$ getting here. Now it's time to get the weight off!
Thank you for the support & your opinion :)

Thank you. It's been 4 years. I've come out the other side of this with scars and my family will never be the same. But I've come out. I'm just hoping others won't be deterred from getting help.

Sarah, your most welcome. People who are the ones left behind have such a multitude of things to deal with themselves. Sounds like you are doing what is great for you. You'll find your path on healthy living. This is a good place for support.

I am sorry about your brother! I feel for you and your family. And thank you for so eloquently writing about this topic. People who are depressed and anxious are not weak! And they should not be looked down upon, and certainly not be ridiculed by others.

Weight loss is so psychological and with the stress of the world it can be hard to focus on oneself. When, I go into a darker place the weight comes on and I just don’t care. Thankfully, I’m in a positive place now and focused on wellness. Stay well!

Silkian, no they are not weak. Each of us go through are own personal hell at times. We strive to keep moving forward.
Skippy, that is the thing about depression, anxiety and other disorders. The care for oneself just disappears. We choose our drug of choice whether it be eating, drinking, using drugs or even over exercising, focusing on one thing that becomes an obsession. Take quite a bit to find that balance again.
Bella, ❤💛💜

@Tatauu22 you are correct and it’s hard for family members to help us when we get obsessed. I’m really trying to focus on gratitude. No matter how bad or good I look or feel - inside or out, I keep reminding myself that I am blessed to have what I have in my life...even if it seems like I have a Mountain to climb.

Hey hunny I support your words 100%. There shouldn’t be any judging on this website. None of us got here on a winning streak. We’re all here to support one another. Keep strong keep thinking positive keep looking in the mirror and telling yourself I can do this it’s just for today.

It's also a very stressful time for many people. fyi. So many on this site helped me so much several years ago, i felt safe here. Gaining weight is often tied to emotional situations. It was baby steps for me cheered on by my friends here that helped me find myself again and reach my goal weight. i've gained a bit back now and trying to get exercise back in my routine.

My sister died from an accidental overdose at least that’s what the coroner ruled it. She left behind three sons and 8 grandchildren. That was in 2013. Then I lost my husband in 2016 my father in 2019 and my dog in 2019. I am a miracle right now that I’m not dead or drunk or in jail or in a sanitarium.
If I’ve learned anything in my life it’s that life keeps coming and I have to learn how to cope with things no matter how much I want to or not. Eating used to be my way of coping with things situations and people but not today.
I am so grateful for this website because it’s saved me last June when I first started again. That’s when I became involved in the conversations made friends found support and tried to support others.
We can do this I will fail. This is fact for me.

Tatauu. I have been on FS about 15 months. This kind of unhealthy relationship of members goes on and on between various members at different times. I have seen some members so convicted to one way of eating be it keto or not cardio or weight lifting it makes me crazy. There is no,acceptance to others in their life challenges or woe preferences. I also at times have been completely misunderstood by some of my comments where other members jump on the wagon to chastize or ridicule me. I flip flop back and forth between private and public. In the last few days I have gone back and forth a few times. I have alot to share but not wanting to complicate my life by trying to justify my choices or my way of life. This is a crazy place and only the strong will survive. FS and the members here are not why I have lost any weight or made healthy choices. Others give to much credit when their accompishments are not from this app. Those achievements are mine alone. Stay safe and best to you on your health journey!

tatauu, I really liked your post. Thank you for having the courage to speak up about something that so many people are aware of, yet somehow not enough people are willing to speak up and our about, and there remains such an apathy and/or cluelessness in this culture about the brain and what people go through. My aunt likes to say: the brain is an organ, just like the heart. If your heart had an issue/disorder, wouldn't you you go get it treated? I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother and that he suffered with such bad anxiety and depression--that is heartbreaking. I hope people cling to the fact that there is ALWAYS hope...even in stressful days and dark times where it doesn't always feel like it. God bless you and your family

"Silkian, no they are not weak. Each of us go through are own personal hell at times. We strive to keep moving forward." Indeed, I have been there personally. I suffered from postpartum depression, three times, the first time, the worst, the last one after a miscarriage! I am still thankful for my physician who recognized it, and helped me on the right track with medication and therapy! Depression and anxiety are not signs of weakness, seeking help for it is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a sign of strength to accept that you have it and then deal with it.
