Getting ready to go the doctors and i went to put on some jeans and they didn't fit 3 pairs I tried didn't fit I just snapped I couldn't stop crying I can't put on weight it's making me hate myself I would rather be dead then be fat and I honestly mean that!

Hi Yumz, it is a sad thing that in our society today we might prefer being dead to carrying extra weight. I know that my unhealthy coping mechanism is overeating, so when I am not doing well mentally/emotionally I put on weight. I am hoping that if you are on this forum then you are going to therapy for your mental health? I think that only when we accept things such as being overweight or living with anxiety do we free ourselves to not focus on those things and it is incredibly freeing. It is hard to fathom but I think it works. I hope you know that it doesn't affect your worth as a human if you are 100 lbs or 1000lbs or any weight. Our society is rather ****** up in this regard. The plus is there are organizations out there to help. Please reach out to them if you have not. I wish you peace, hope, strength, and acceptance.

I'm actually waiting for an appointment to see a doctor to change the medication I'm on weight gain is a side effect I don't like I went from being 8 and half to 11 and half in about 7 months so nothing fits me 💔. I know to most people it sounds like I'm being over dramatic but I've never been this heavy in my life! 😞X

It is incredibly hard to deal with, especially if it is from the meds. Maybe you could feel good with less or no meds in that case and regular therapy? I know that I have seen tons of people put on a lot of weight from drugs. I worked with people with intellectual disabilities and most of them would put on a ton of weight after acting out and getting pretty heavily medicated 😥

I'm on a different medication now same as both my sisters x hopefully this one will work.

yes please do talk to doctor. They might give you other medicine and with weight you can always get it off. Please don’t get upset easily fixable
