Sleeping so much is a huge sign of depression. I would be looking at getting her some antidepressants and getting depression under control. Being overweight is also very tiring. I was overweight and very depressed. After getting on antidepressants I ended up losing 60 pounds in less than 6 months. I’ve kept it off for over 30 years now! Being overweight isn’t just about eating too much

[@donttalkjustplay4274]

But it is, it may start as depression not negating that one bit. However once you begin to over eat it becomes an addiction no different than heroin or crack. Just less deadly and more delicious and you can go to a drive thru and get it. Idk if Uber eats is delivering heroin to anywhere but Portland. All is all though it’s a mental health disorder to some extent but you have to grapple with the addiction to food at the same time.

It’s probably a vicious cycle at this point. You’re depressed because of your size and because your brain lacks essential nutrients with that poor diet (e.g. vitamin B, a deficiency of which causes low mood). And when you sleep so much you are constantly lethargic, have no energy and keep eating.

I slept also 12-14h turns out I had severe iron deficiency and some hormonel problems. Took some iron and my physical problems taken care of and I'm so much better. First time in years I'm loosing weight

I feel bad, but I thought she was in her 50s and was shocked when she said she was only 34

I thought she was about that age too.

[@vmartinez755]

No they don't! But feeling sorry for yourself doesn't stop a heart attack! If you don't like something then do something about it. Pity isn't gonna help you lose weight.

[@phillyjukebox]

@@vmartinez755 your comment is so spot on. You have to find it within yourself to want to lose the weight. I live with pretty bad depression, and last year I started moving 15 minutes a day and now I’m at an hour or more. I lost 65 pounds so far. It’s not easy but it’s gotta be done! ❤

[@bobcat8654]

People just don't have gratitude and wallow in self pity

[@OlliePawsitivePets]

I suffer with severe chronic pain from a disability and during my worse phase I was sleeping most of the day. This went on for months. So I do sympathise with her with that. With support from my partner I was able to start my own business and now I’m working towards being a canine behavioural instructor and I do more than my doctors ever thought I could

This is why I’d get unhappy with my OR staff for making fun of our bigger patients. Its hard to walk and move when you feel like your legs are on fire. Weight gain is a side effect.

[@christianreed3139]

During Covid I got extremely depressed. I’m 6’3, and went all the way from 190lbs to 265lbs. I was miserable, and the only thing I had to look forward to was my food and snacks. My therapist referred me to a ketamine clinic last December, and 7 months after beginning my psychedelic treatments I am back down to 220lbs and stronger mentally than I have been in years. Ketamine treatments saved my life. Overeating and depression are serious illnesses!

[@xtrobelights]

I'm only a min in and I LOVE her voice and the way she speaks. Perfect narrating voice!

[@gokuxsephiroth4505]

I used to be like that during the worst of my depression. Wake up, go to college, go home, sleep. Wake up for dinner. Sleep. Wake up for an hour's exercise. Shower. Sleep. Hypersomnia sucks.

[@finnicvoice4974]

He's not annoyed wtf, he handled it very professionally and said respectfully that he's concerned. After all the mind and body are deeply corrected.

[@jaipandohie3205]

hope shes doing better, may God be with her and help her through this period of her life.

[@LEE-kq9tq]

I mean. Being as big as she is, she's probably not sleeping well and her body is just so big she's exhausted all the time. Depression too can cause the sleep problems. I really hope she's successful with her journey.

[@chrisballard5743]

Dr Now " Your a binge eater all day"?. 😆😆

[@vmartinez755]

Right??? Gotta love that expression of disgust on his face. He's can be brutal, but at least he's right! And trying to save lives.

[@jonnarobinson7541]

I relate to the sleeping for depression. At one time I was sleeping about 14 to 16 hours a day. In addition I did not have energy to go to the grocery store and cook a meal. I started eating at restaurants all the time. I am better but after an eight year. I gained approximately 30 pounds. I also have no motivation or energy to exercise or move. And I was a high school dance teacher for my career and always very thin. I really I am supportive of her but the depression will have to improve for her to move forward.

[@annba3170]

She says “its time to focus on me instead of everyone else.” How do you focus on anyone else when you are only awake 6 hours a day?

[@rjn-od8vj]

If you sleep 16 hrs a day and weigh 600 lbs I'm pretty sure all you are caring for is yourself...This focus on me is and not the others around me is the root cause

[@ghostsarentspooky]

I have a lot of hope in her, does anyone have any updates on her? is she ok?

[@23kurtzy]

I love how they all say it’s embarrassing, then proceed to make zero changes on their own.

[@HayleyMoody]

I remember when I was in secondary school and depressed and I used to get home from school, eat, occasionally bath and I’d go to sleep until morning. I was probably doing 15-16 hours sleep weekdays and 18 hours sleep weekends. Sometimes I’d get home from school and go to sleep in my uniform and go to school in the same clothes the next day. I emphasise with her for this reason. Depression is no joke when it comes to being physically healthy. The exhaustion makes you seek out easy, comforting food with a high calorie count and it takes over your will to do anything active. I hope she gets the help she needs.

[@princessscott1880]

Her voice is so soothing it puts me to sleep😴

[@vmartinez755]

That's the problem, it keeps her to sleep. Poor thing...
