That's why this "treat yo self = high calorie food" is ridiculous. I've struggled with depression and the agoraphobia that comes with that. Of all the things, I kept my long term goals in mind. I got a CS degree. I forced myself outside when I was so depressed I could barely get out of bed and shower to go to internships, to jobs, get a good career. Getting healthy was a necessity for my mental health to get better. Being social also a necessity. It's a STRUGGLE when you're clinically depressed to do those very basic things. Get out of bed, get showered, talk to people. Getting fat would have made it so much worse. Getting to a high BMI made it worse, high normal I mean 23-24.  I can't imagine dealing with all those things while also being overweight or obese. That's just shooting yourself in the leg when you're already trying to recover from an infection. The rest of the world moves on and you have to take care of yourself. Treat yo self isn't stuffing your face. It's getting yourself healthy so you can enjoy life.
