Hi everyone, I am being treated for anxiety, depression, OCD w/20mg Clomipramine (Anafranil). First of all, I look at myself in the mirror everyday and think I look fat, ugly, and stupid. Second of all, Since I barely eat anything all day long, I have a tendency to binge eat in the evenings on Carbohydrate-rich foods such as chocolate, energy bars, brownies, etc. I feel 'fat' so I can't each much because, I fear that every single thing I eat will cause me to become even bigger and I'll never be able to maintain my weight or even lose weight.
Next, when I am let's say at a busy place such as a store like Wal-Mart or a mall for that matter, I feel totally spaced out and freaked out as if I know I am going to embarrass myself and everyone around me will give me a dirty look. Someone in this forum, please tell me that I am not dumb because, I feel that I can't do anything right. I like to accept things at 'face' value but, I want to be the best 'me' I can. I end up feeling guilty very easily, etc and at the very front of my head, I feel a 'tightening' on somedays.
