Hi all,
I feel that I've reached a real low point lately and I need something to help bring me back up so I can deal with various issues. My head is so cluttered and I'm finding it harder to cope with even little things. The slightest bit of stress is causing me to spiral down in a "everything is hopeless" mindset.
I am terrified of weight gain on meds though. I know this sounds vain but I had bullimia up until 18 months ago and I would hate to put on weight as I fear this would trigger my bullimia again.
Do meds slow your metabolism down - is that why people put on weight? Or do some cause your appetite to increase and that's why people gain weight - because they eat more?
I feel pretty desperate to be put on meds to be honest but this is holding me back as it worries me a lot, as I know it would add to my anxiety
Thanks
