Just a three second vent...
I'm on a bunch of meds that have a side-effect of weight gain. They increase appetite, retain water (not real weight I know, but I still hate it), slow down metabolism... everything.
I'm in a situation where I can't run five miles a day to offset it. I just can't stand it.
All it makes me want to do is starve. Starve because that seems like my only option ON the meds, go off the meds entirely, or binge - because it seems hopeless if I'm just going to gain weight even if I eat healthy.
Argh. If life would face me head on at least I could punch it in the face.
...enough griping. I'm better now. :P
Anyone else on meds that present problems?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
But, hey...electrodes don't make you gain weight. :)
