Hello!

I believe I am depressed and my therapist told me that I am showing signs of depression. I worked very hard to get my current job in July 2021 and currently, I am not liking what I do for work. I also had a hard break up in May 2021. From May - July 2021 I developed eating disorders and I hardly ate one meal a day. Right now, I am on the other extreme. I eat a lot, crave junk food and I don't exercise. As soon as I get done with work at 5, I start binge watching movies/series. Cont.

Cond. Here - After my break up, I tend to have a pattern of finding the same partners and I feel extremely low. My friendships have also been very rocky.

Any tips on how to get my life back on track? - I don't want to binge watch series, I don't want eat unhealthy and get some motivation to exercise. I also want to work hard (at work and outside) and not be burnt out.

Your valuable suggestions will help me!
Thanks in advance.

If you stay in NYC, we could hang out; go for a walk or something

This is surreal. Thought I typed this post at some point and forgot. The timelines, break up, losing motivation… all on point. I’m definitely not in the position to advice anyone but I’d give it a go. Make friends - friends you could go for a walk with even if it’s not extreme exercising, friends you could talk to rather than just glued to the tv, friends you could work together, read or study with.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions and kind words! Means a lot.
