Hiya Everyone!
I've snooped a bit the other threads in this forum and I didn't see anything about mental health exactly, so I apologise beforehand if there was indeed one and I missed it.
Anyone else taking anti-depression meds and struggling with weight loss? I've have something between post partum depression and regular depression. My kiddo is 15 months old, so I'm not sure where post partum ends and regular begins. I'm on Slimming World 'life style change' ( I don't want to call it a diet because that would mean at some time I would go back to eating all the delicious foods I shouldn't eat much of lol!). I started off okay, losing between a pound and three a week. I was on Sertraline but it totally killed my libido. Now that I've been losing weight, I'd like that libido back, thanks! So I had my meds switched to something else, sorry I can't remember the name. Since the switch I am REALLY struggling. It's like I'm starting over with my depression, so it makes me feel even worse for having cheated, and I feel like throwing the towel in. Anyone else have this sort of struggle? If so, how do you cope? I kind of feel like letting this week slip and starting again next week once my meds regulate themselves and I'm back to my normal self.
