I really recommend looking into hormone inbalance, specifically estrogen
dominance. There is a lot of research that links that with the
weight/bloating and depression and anxiety. Check out the website of
http://www.johnleemd.com and anything you can find about natural progesterone.
I've been hearing wonderful stories on the endonatural group
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EndoNatural/).
good luck!
