How do you balance weight loss with anxiety and depression?

Hello everyone. I’m a 26 y/o, F, 5’ 0”, and currently sitting at around 240lbs. I’m fairly new to reddit and this community and this is my first time posting here. I’ve always been overweight my whole life, and in turn that’s really messed with my self confidence and ruined relationships. Last year after a bad breakup and a terrible depressive episode (I was undiagnosed with depression at the time) I dropped 40 lb because I wasn’t really eating and was instead sleeping all the time. After loosing all the weight I got so many compliments from everyone about how great I looked, and it made me feel amazing for once in my life.

However since being diagnosed with persistent depression and anxiety and being placed on medication on top of having just finished graduate school, I have since gained all that weight back and then some and am feeling worse than ever about my appearance. How did you all start on your weight loss journeys and what has helped you over time to keep you motivated and keep up with it? I always find if I start a diet or working out I don’t keep up with it and I really want to this time. Any and all advice is appreciated!
