Is there anything we can do? Depression is so hard to fight--I have bipolar disorder, so I feel your pain--and it also makes overeating way too easy to do. And lonely is hard too, but you do have friends here if you want them. Hang on.  

Unfortunately I don't have any friends on here or where I am currently living, but I will keep hanging in there and hopefully will be a stronger person at the end of the journey. 

I'll be your friend. :) 

Thank you so much =) 

Yeah I'm wanting to have you as my friend too... hugs to you and there are so many loving people here on FS I'm sure most of them would support you... ;)  

Hey, put me on that list of friends too. :-) 

I’ll be your friend too! I have very few friends and all but 1 live in other states. My grandmother just died and my boyfriend sent me a dear Jane email all in a 3 day period. I definitely know how you are feeling. Honestly one thing that helps me is just putting my thoughts out here on this site. Another is that I am on keto woe so if it isn’t allowed I don’t buy it. I’d actually prefer to be alone right now but I’m stuck with my mother who I do by really get along with. Her food stuffs give me some difficulty (I caved and had sugar free muffins yesterday) but generally I am doing OK. I tend to have more willpower for limiting things than for doing them. However I have been walking most days with the one friend I have here. Not sure if any of this helps but the bottom line is - you are not alone 

you have friends here..stop by and talk with us...we will be your friends Mary...you can count on that 

I told you Mary... they are fantastic loving people... tons of love coming your way...you will see and feel the magic of what its like to be supported for all you do..not just for staying on plan;) 

Newnbetter your a rare find...so sweet of you to open up like that;) 

We're all in this together. Stay tough, and let's work through it together. 

Count me as a friend too! The nice thing here is no judgement just encouraging help. I don’t know anyone on this site personally, but feel so supported by them. You have been hit with lots of tough things so give yourself some slack! Then get up and move forward. You can do it! 

don't beat yourself up. as Scarlett said,Tomorrow is another day!! 

I am happy to be your friend!! You can always message me if you need anything.  

Sending you a hug...❤ Sounds like the deck is somewhat stacked against you right now. Be nice to yourself. Today is my first day on FS so sharing some support would be great.  

Yep... we all are only as strong as our weakest link and no one is going to be able to be weak with all the support and strength we have here.;) 

Keep your head up and eye on your goals... 

Been there. When I first moved away from everyone I knew....i found myself crying every day. it took a combination of asking for help , counseling and medication to get me yo a point where I could even think of things like diet and exercise. Be kind to yourself. As kind as you would be to someone else in your shoes.  

Mary sweetie looks like you have many new friends on here now...Wow!! I'm so impressed with all of you who have reached out. .makes me tear up and feel so happy to read your sweet post... great job FS for the best and I mean best support ever!  

I agree Maxie this site is awesome!
