Re: candida is ruining my life!!

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Boo hoo I'm overweight and I feel lousy all the time... have you convinced a lot of people that you're getting screwed over by life or just yourself?

I know I'm being harsh, but I was in your shoes 6 months ago. Fat, depressed, getting sicker and still stuffing myself with mini pizzas and coke. You might find some suckers to give you sympathy but it won't help you anymore than crawling into bed with your sickness and Depression and running away from your life. Run off into your subconscious if you want, you'll be happier while you're there but eventually you have to come back to the here and now where you're a fat sick mess. It's a downward spiral, and you'll keep spinning till you hit the bottom. You're obviously not there yet but you're on track.

So life's not fair, and it's real safe and satisfying to blame your lot in life on a disease, but doing that is still going to leave you with a diseased and ruined life. I dunno, I'm 100 times worse off than you and I was saying all the same things you just did and it made me sick on so many levels. I know this is supposed to be a support forum but I don't think it's supportive to pat your head and tell you it's going to be all right and you can get through it and blah blah blah. Quit being a victim, grab the reigns and try to steer. Right now you have your head under a pillow and you're saying "I dont believe in monsters... I dont believe in monsters..." while the monster is standing over your bed with a knife. WAKE UP, KICK HIS ASS AND START LIVING.

You asked for advice from somewhere who's been where you are, that's the best I can do. Hope you weren't offended, take care.
