Hi Tamar,
Also I thought of one more thing today about you. I have noticed that you do better when you participate more actively in babble. Even if you don't talk much about your issues here, I think it does good to your self esteem when you offer help to others here.Since you are saying you have put on 20 lbs in the past month when you have been away from babble, maybe you should participate more in babble, and maybe that will really help you. (of course in addition to helping others here by your wise words). We help ourselves when we help others - in an indirect way. Even if babble is too much for you to handle, atleast try some other form of voluntary work or social work.
I know you have a tendency to withdraw when you are hurting, but that habit is making it worse for you I feel. Maybe you should make more conscious attempt to reach out, and that will help.
Just my thought.
