Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Im a little frustrated with my Dr. right now. Saw him today for a medication follow up.
I think I'm actually doing pretty good with the new dose and schedule. It seems to be doing it's job.
The only issue is that I've gained 10 pounds in the last 3 months.
Of course when I explained this to him he just says (what every DR always says) "eat less, exercise more"
I knew this would be his response so I had maticulusly kept a record of everything I eat/ drank/ consumed along with the corresponding portion size and calorie count.
In addition to that a record of my physical activity.
I average 1,010 calories per day
Walk 6.5 miles per day
Over the last 3 months .....and GAINED 10 lbs.
How could I possibly eat less? Exercise more?
When I showed him my records he blew it off saying people misjudge portion size all the time.
Last I checked 1/3 cup still= 1/3cup
So I'm frustrated.
I'm still talking my meds though. Cause they do help a lot. I guess Id rather be heavy and ok-to-happy , than thin depressed and suicidal.
If anyone has any suggestions for keeping med weight down. I'm all ears. Thanks :)
