Hi all,
I have come to the conclusion that I am, or on the way to becoming depressed. I can't say for sure if the VLCD has triggered it but I'm pretty sure it has, I am susceptible to depression after having it 12 years ago and 8 years ago I had pnd with my beautiful daughter.
I have been unhappy for about 6 weeks and I thought it was my marriage, but tonight i recognised my symptoms and put 2 and 2 together. I have thought long and hard about the VLCD and I have decided to stick with it as if I come off it I will for certain not get to goal or worse, put weight on and my depression will spiral :-(
Ive obviously googled VLCD a d depression and there is a link, I suppose if you're prone to it it can worsen?
So i need to make an appointment with my GP for some antidepressants, these have worked in the past and I have no problem using them, they're little miracle workers in my opinion. I'm not sure if I'm going to mention the VLCD, I don't know how disapproving or judgemental they'd be, I see a number of GP's so I will request a one I actually like (one of thems a horrible old cow who barks at me to lose weight!). I suppose I'm concerned that they would withhold the medication if I refused to stop the VLCD.
Hope you are all ok x
