It happens, it's long term that matters, not the odd falling off the wagon don't worry about it 😉 

mental illness defo sucks pickled eggs, I struggle daily too, i have to be really strict with my waking/sleeping routines, eat healthy, walk outdoors& meditate every day to keep my head straight,,hope ur feeling better today 🤗❤️ 

I feel you but keep going, you can do it!! If u wanna talk I’m here!! 😘 

Just felt for weeks my head was going to explode I comfort ate drunk more wine but that was not helping in long term  

It's very easy to do, I've always had an unhealthy relationship with food. Ironically when I was younger my doctors said I was obese as I was short then I had a growth spurt to 6"7 then I was too skinny. But I digress. Anyhow I met my ex wife 14 years ago and after a 9 year relationship it ended with me going from 13 stone 5 to 19 stone 12 with severe depression since then my weights yoyo'd up and down last year I joined here and managed to get to 111.10 kilos which is the lowest I've ever been since leaving my ex and then I started getting bouts of migraines that lasted all day everyday. That was in October were now in July and I've since put back on 4 kilos and my headaches haven't gone away and I haven't been motivated to do anything. On a positive this morning my brother is dragging me out of the house to play squash for 45 minutes. I hope you get better soon as I firmly believe your mental health is directly linked to your physical wellbeing 😊😊 

Leanne....there's not enough food and not enough wine in the world to fill the gap in your soul,,I've tried!! You're obviously stronger than u think or u wouldn't have made it this far,,hope uv managed to work out what triggered you and worked through it...which I know is easier said than done...don't sit in the house alone with your thoughts, go out a good stomp, visit a friend/family and get a good catch up❤️ Simon....I say the same to you, ur stronger than u think, look at where u were and look where u are now! You're right, stress does terrible things to ur body. I was physically ill for a long time because of mental health, it took a nervous breakdown for me to start pulling myself back up. You're still having migraines&lack motivation,,feels like u still have a lot of unresolved issues about ur ex,,hurt,anger,'why?',trust,,, there's a lot of online help available..trydaylight.com ...beattheblues.com....and cognitive behaviour courses on alisoncourses.com...or download Woebot from Google Play, very helpful tool ❤️
