[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1892479, member: 365308"] Its a bit of a vicious one isn't it? If you ate better and took your pills you'd feel better mentally too but that is easier said than done. You've admitted you need help loud and clear and that is only brave and not a thing to feel guilt or shame about. You have choices though which you could list out and hopefully talk through with someone you trust who isn't going to nag you: 1) carry on - it is what you are used to and probably feels safe but has obvious downsides not least of which is that you are feeling bad and not in control of your own life. 2) Ask for some help with the mental health issues -perhaps you already have but you owe it to yourself to keep fighting to feel better if things aren't working well for you. 3) Consider making 1 change in your lifestyle that you try for 1 day or 3 or a week e/g/ don't heap too much pressure on by making any long term commitment to being perfect! But stick to the promise you make yourself even if it seems a really small achievement. Giving up one of those comfort foods maybe? Perhaps you are telling yourself they are comforting but it seems to me that they are not making you feel much better anyway. Perhaps you could walk in fresh air or dance or swim once a week. That could make you feel better. [/QUOTE]
