So, I suffer from depression and anxiety and never really got any meds for it. But I'm depressed mostly about my weight, I'm a size 26, and I hate going out. Even things like going to the shops or park is hard, I don't like going out cuz in my head I'm thinking everyone staring at me because I'm fat. I feel so uncomfortable in social gatherings, I could spend days in my home. That's where I feel most comfortable .
I'm living my life in my head, I'm thinking when I lose weight there's so many things I want to do, but that never happens. Still trying to lose weight.
Today I was just outside with the kids, one of my neighbours started chatting to me, she moved in a year ago but we've never spoken . Everything was fine, she then said to me "I've never really seen you out, you don't go out much do you?" She said this with a smile, I don't know but I felt upset and really down. I know it was harmless, and she was just genuinely curious. But it made me feel upset.
I worry a lot of what people think of me, hence why this made me feel down.
So those of you with a thick skin, how do you do it?
