Hey Tex

glad things are moving in the right direction

seeing #'s on the scale, clothing sizes and measurements going south

wonderful feeling - sure that makes you feel better about yourself

all warm and tingly!!!

you deserve health and happiness - always!!!

when i googled on Topamax it highlighted this below warning/side effect

"Do not start or stop taking Topamax during pregnancy without your doctor's advice"

being of the male persuasion, i don't think you have anything to worry about LOL

hope things have been settling down/improving at home too

things have calmed down? improving a little too?

glad you have gotten back on your horse!!!

ride em' cowboy

good luck

I hope you are seeing a therapist....therapy can really help the root of depression and CBT cognitive behavioral therapy van work even better then meds or with meds have the best efficacy. My hope is that you won't have to stay on abilify or maybe try another one that doesn't cause weight gain because sometimes they don't cause that side effect. I was on abilify before and have been to many dark places you mentioned. I was misdiagnosed with depression for many years but recently found out I have bipolar l. Anyways, exercise helps the mood as well as weight loss so I encourage that but therapy number one and don't give up. Keep a weekly gratitude journal... sounds cheesy I know bit it helps to keep you appreciating life and open to positive possibility
