75.6kgs - nothing like depression to help you along

Yup, after all we've been through in the new house (and are still enduring), I have been diagnosed with depression. Upside ? I'm on antidepressants, and I find that they make me very calm, even when things are really awful. Downside ? Channeling the anger and frustration... where has it gone ? It's there, but it doesn't feel quite so razor-sharp.
I've just really lost interest in mealtimes. I haven't lost interest in cake, or wine, or chocolate, or an apple here and there. I just don't feel like eating most of the time. So I don't.
For a while (in late February) I was convinced I was still BLOBBOBETTY, weighing in at well over 80kgs, but then I got on the scale and saw that I'd lost nearly 4 kgs in as many weeks.
What's my secret - stress & depression - they can really shed a load.
