I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time!. This could be relatively minor, or it could be something bigger!. But know that you won't feel this way forever!. And the more you do to help yourself, the faster you will recover, and the less chance you will have of slipping back into this again in the future!.
There are a few things that can help:
- be nice to yourself!. Avoid negative self talk, and try complimenting yourself!. It will feel awkward at first, but keep at it!.
- do nice things for yourself!. Get a new book, go to a movie, paint something, just make sure it's constructive and not destructive!.
- be with friends and family!. Talking to people about what you're going through is a huge release on its own, but being around people and doing things will be the best medicine!.
- take care of business!. You will feel worse if you are not tending to bills and work!. It's easy to fall into a hole at times like this!. Be strong enough to watch out for yourself!.
- finally, if these feelings persist for longer than about 6 weeks, go see a professional!. You might need medication, or just someone to help you sort through some things - maybe both!. Strong, intelligent people need help sometimes too!.
One last thing, if these feelings ever become overwhelming, PLEASE call someone!. Call a friend who will listen, family member, or a hotline!. There are people out there who care and will help you if you pick up the phone!.
I truly wish you all the best, and I know things will get better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you are suffering from low mood, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have clinical depression!.
It's hard for anyone to give you advice that will help because when it comes down to it if YOU aren't motivated to change then you wont make the effort!.
If you are overweight then you may have a poor diet which could be making you feel down!. Making sure you consume a good mix of nutrients from fruit and vegetables will help lift your mood!. Try to make food interesting, just because its healthy doesnt mean it has to be boring!. I have a sweet tooth but I love sweet, fresh fruit salads!. They are just as tasty as junk foods but not sickly and I feel proud of myself for eating well!. Once you make a start you'll feel more motivated to go on!.
When you're tempted by alcohol think of the photos of yourself that you cant stand!. Also, if you by less alcohol in the first place, you wont have in it your home to drink even if you wanted to!
Treat yourself when you have achieved things and worked hard, maybe to new clothes or something!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You sound like you don't want it enough!. Maybe things need to get a little worse to kick you up the backside, if you know what I mean!. All I can suggest is keep it simple!. Break your goals down to bite size chunks that are easier to achieve!.
