I HATE BEING FAT!

I HATE BEING FAT!

If there is one thing that could push me over the edge of a cliff it is my being overweight. I had a gastric sleeve and lost a heap of weight. I felt that I was getting my life back, after years of self hate and depression, I was going to be ok. But my stomach has stretched out...and even if it didn't I just eat all day long. I've piled on some half of the weight I lost. Walking is getting harder, everything is. My clothes don't fit. I think if I started to scream, I would never stop. There's nothing I can do, I am hopeless and my counsellor is leaving.

Re: I HATE BEING FAT!

Hi @Lemonjuice, I am sorry to hear about your struggles there. It's never easy to say goodbye to someone who supports you and it sounds like that relationship has been useful for you. I hope that you are soon able to connect with another counsellor, and who knows what new things you may learn with them!

It sounds like you may be having thoughts of suicide so I really encourage you to look after youself and to reach out for some help if you need that.

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat

Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling

Samaritans: 135 247

If in immediate danger: 000

@Lemonjuice You took the words right out of my mouth!!! It is one of my pet hates .... my biggest hate is how much the medications have put on weight. I loathe it, detest it and think about it almost constantly .... you are not alone.

Yep @Bunniekins @Lemonjuice It's so hard

Hate meds sometimes, but they are the lesser of 2 evils. Wish someone would invent a pill that corrected the appetite and metabolic effects of psychotropic drugs.

Re: I HATE BEING FAT!

@frog Well I bet they could if they wanted to..... We can put a man on the moon but we cannot make psychotropic drugs which don't put on weight. The thing is they don't care!!!! It is not a priority for them once it becomes a priority then it will be done in a blink of an eye I bet.... *sigh*
