Try a psychologist then, but before you start taking any drugs from them, just do a quick head count of the people around you. If more than 25% of them are total assholes, it's time to move.

Really though, I don't know your situation, but it sounds like you gotta grab your huevos and change something.

If there are financial issues, get rid of them as best you can. Explore other options for making money or getting out of debt or whatever you are in.

If there are family/emotional reasons, remember that other people have feet too and can walk with you to a new place.

If there are depression reasons, I hear running and weight lifting are great for it. Docs too, as I said. Also, music and dancing seem to be good too.

You gotta plan for the end of your life just as much as the next meeting. And only you can do it for you. Take baby steps though, but keep them rolling.



I've been to a counsellor but no psychologist is taking new patients in my area (that I've been able to find). I get up everyday at 6 and hit the gym before work. Usually 30-60 minutes of walking on an incline followed by an hour of lifting. I run maybe 1 or 2 times a week, still trying to get back into it. It's a little bit more difficult at 275lbs then I remember it being at <220lb but I still can make it 2 miles without stopping. I'm down 30lbs but I'm still up and down emotionally. I don't really have any reason my life seems pretty good relatively speaking. I'm much better now than I was a few years ago but still not good enough I guess.
