eddygordo19	Count your blessings. This may miss the mark, so forgive me if it does. The Japanese have a word which translate to "a beautiful moment." It's usually something simple like a full moon or a sunset. When cherry blossoms are in bloom, they have flower viewing parties. They have a picnic with friends, play music, sing and dance while viewing the beautiful cherry blossoms. In other words, there are these miracles that occur almost daily that are of such beauty, that life is really filled with cause for celebration and joy. You don't need to actually throw a party, but you can take the moment to gaze at the moon and appreciate the beauty of it all. And it's not just a Japanese thing. We've all heard the expression to "stop and smell the roses." We should stop and smell the rose and gaze at the rose and appreciate it's beauty, especially knowing that it is with us for but a moment in time. That rose is a miracle. As is your family and friends. If you make an effort to notice the treasures around you, you will not have time to feel hopeless or depressed. Awaken yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mx2	I am in the same boat- I find myself eating just to eat. However there were times when I took Zoloft and it helped alot, but I had to get off of it because it made me gain weight.. Best thing is to surround yourself with friends, and get involved in activities. When you are distracted by others and other things, you don't have time to sit and think about yourself, and time goes by fast. This is the best and easiest solution. Get out of your head, and look around you, you might just see that it is not so bad after all. I know, I know , it is easier said than done, but trust me, been there done that. Take care !!
