I’ve heard avoiding sugar (and also avoiding sugar babies!) really helps some people with their anxiety and depression. Ok, I think I successfully engaged with the forum theme for today. ![image](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/4/b/4b1a9b24a44e9ff5de98d468174c385bc76e7f14.jpeg) ---

consider a thorough blood test with your physician. Check up on thyroid function TSH/T4 levels. Hormones: free testosterone level. CBC SMA and cancer tumor markers CEA, CA199, AFP, PSA to get an idea of any underlying conditions. Intermittent fasting can also be done to get a dopamine detox and reset your metabolism. ---

This is more mainly and OCD thing but triggers anxiety. Was suppose to get a package today. They didn’t deliver it and ruined my chair. They also upset my rabbits to the point they messed up my room. I can’t even catch a breath because I have to go back to work. Can everything be cleaned? Sure. But I never wanted it delivered at my house and they shouldn’t have placed it on my chair to begin with. I probably looked insane insisting they clean it but 🤷🏼‍♀️ ![Screenshot_20230325_125715_Gallery](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/f/3/f3cb5e04947c9f4f60f12c10b4b7e656f42fc2c6.jpeg) Also still no package because at work ---

Has anyone been able to get an appetite suppressant along with their antidepressants? I actually feel hungry now and gained wayyy too much. Yes, I know CICO, water, and exercise. I’ve lost weight before and I’ve had multiple nutrition classes. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night hungry no matter the time I eat nor amount. ---

I got that problem too, some appetite suppressant would be helpful for me too. I find that metaformin can suppress appetite a little bit. ---

I have heard keeping a diary can help find your triggers and the things that make you … (fill in your problem here). Sometimes carefully thinking back about the things you might have been doing or eating or worrying about can also help to find triggers. ---

I was on Wellbutrin (Bupropion) for a while. It’s not an SSRI as far as I’m aware, but still an antidepressant. It fucked up my appetite the first few weeks in. I couldn’t stomach anything more than a meal a day. But you get over it and your appetite comes back after a while. I wouldn’t say it makes you more hungry than normal tho. ---

Fwiw eating a lot of fruit and veg will physically fill your stomach up quite quick in relation to their caloric content. Boom appetite suppressant ---

Careful… I am finding the guava to be less effective of a comfort food than previously thought. Honestly I think eggs fulfill this role better. I have no idea when we will see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding the shortage, as nothing the government do is making a dent in it. ---

Here’s an update on my situation. I am very slowly but surely healing from my anxiety. I would say I’m about 80% there. Right now, I feel completely normal but I know that’s partly because I’m on vacation and away from the stress of work. It seems I’m getting ever so slightly better every week (maybe like 1% better every week if I had to put a number to it). I am still dependent on sleeping pills. While that bothers me, I am also very pleased with feeling much reduced levels of anxiety. Feelings of depression lasted only for a short while (see my first post above). I feel I can wean myself off the sleeping meds slowly starting soon. For anyone going through anxiety and/or depression, I can’t stress enough how important it is to use a multi-prong approach. And get ready for a fight. See the list in my first post above for some ideas of what you can do. And do more than one thing: do 5 or 6 or 7 things all at once and stick to it. I will beat this in 2023. You can too. Feel free to pm me if you need some encouragement, need someone to talk to, need to vent, or anything else.
