My eating is out of control and it makes me feel awful. I kept wanting to eat. I'm eating a lot. It has only been 1.5 hours since I've woken up and I've eaten a chocolate chip banana muffin, a large greasy cheese bun and half a family sized bag of kettle chips.
I am gaining weight. My pants don't fit anymore. I look pregnant and have love handles.
I don't know what is causing this. I'm always wanting to eat. What can I do to stop this?
Right now I am chewing gum in an effort to stop eating.

Could be meds? Has anything changed recently in your med regime? SSRI's make me eat like there's no tomorrow. Try to drink lots of water..that helps me a bit. Take care!

Nothing has really changed much in terms of meds. I think it may be because I am unemployed and sitting around with nothing to do but sleep and eat. The gum helped a lot. I chewed the gum for hours and I have not eaten any more food since the chips.
I need to get some exercise, but I keep sleeping in until 5pm.
I'm going to drink some water and chew more gum.
Did you go off the SSRI's? I am on two right now.

believe me, whew! man i've been through peak's a deep depression doctor's don't know what do.....first step in mastering the mind, if they don't care, they don't care, i'm always ready. because are they going to benefit from not caring....from something else, that's why survival, is, you have to know every aspect of who is going to push buttons, get ready for anything. Just quick advice.
But knowing you, change, it's a season/s, it will pass, don't obsess about it. I do the same on other things.

Hi Deneb,
Sorry to hear this. This must be very distressing for you. I think you used to go to Weight Watchers or something like that. Maybe that would be helpful again.
Good luck Kath
