My Story: Dealing with Depression and Weight Gain

My Story: Dealing with Depression and Weight Gain

Hello everyone. My name is Charm and this is my story. I’ve gone through a couple of periods of depression in my life. The first time I knew I was depressed was in college. I started seeing a therapist and was diagnosed with clinical depression. My doctor prescribed me with anti-depressants.

I had been going through a lot of things during the time and I needed some help. Suicide had come across my mind a few times during that period. I don’t think it was a serious thought for me but it did go through my mind.

I am an emotional eater. During that time I gained more weight. I used food as my comfort. The more weight I gained the more ashamed and upset I felt. It was a dark time in my life but eventually I came through it. Sometimes things seem bleak and it’s not as bad as you think. I am grateful for the support I received to help get me through that time.
