Hi Maria.
Thanks for responding.
How are you feeling right now?
I am unclear as to what positive effects rTMS had on you. Did they not last? Were you on any medication at the time? Had you considered maintenance treatments?
You do have quite a conundrum to deal with. However, it seems to me that you have good insight into yourself and your needs. You are good people.
I think you are right about having a life purpose.
"Life is its own purpose" works for me. All that is left is to have the energy, interest, and motivation to *discover* what it is that I wish to accomplish. Depression all but prevents one from doing this - at least that has been my experience.
What is the use in NOT binge eating if there are no other pleasures in life and no goals to strive for? I understand this.
I would like to write more here, but I need to get going. I'll be back.

Psychotherapy has helped me understand the basis from which my problems arise, but it did not help me get a life goal.... So I just trudge along... and along... and along, hoping to stumble upon it... Maybe I would binge eat less often if I had a life purpose, but it so difficult to find one because nothing interests me... If I could lose 20 pounds maybe I would try harder at finding a partner. Or buy a pretty dress, but I don't cause I feel too fat. The vicious circle!!
