Here We Go

This is my first time on here as I found this app through a google search for depression and anxiety. However, I was happy to see there are many other topics on here people discuss and talk about. I am on a new medication for my major depressive disorder and have gained a lot of weight very quickly. I am the MOST self conscious person about my weight and it truly effects my socialization with others and my confidence, two major areas I already struggle with due to major depression. Looking for tips and advice!

Remember that your mental health must come first and be patient with yourself. I also struggle with anxiety and depression and have gained weight largely due to the meds. My goals are to not gain more, get my 10,000 steps daily, and eat healthfully.
