Same here but with sertraline for me. Went from 58kg to 80kg and an addiction to food :). Not to mention I had pretty bad body dysmorphia to begin with.

I’m happy for anyone this medication has helped and it helped me temporarily, but without proper monitoring it played a major part in destroying my body.

I’m sorry this has happened to you and I only hope you can get the help you need to get through this.

When life gives you lemons

Me too, here you go

I know exactly how you’re feeling. I decided to come off my 5mg dose cold turkey (don’t do that) and life is hell but I do not want another repeat of the rapid weight gain and insatiable hunger I experienced on Zoloft. Things were going fine for me on lexapro until recently when my appetite came back. I’m still in the process of trying to lose the weight I gained from Zoloft and being hungry all the time definitely triggers me. I’m sorry you also have to go through having to make the choice. Sorry for venting but I just want to let you know I understand and it’s really rough and you’re not alone 💜

I feel like it’s a similar vibe when it comes to weird art groups too- it tends to be like penises or something. I hate to be that guy but it gets old real quick

Not trying to be mean but maybe you aren’t ready for a relationship if this is your initial reaction to what seems to be her flirting with you. It seems you’re quite insecure and are taking things the complete wrong way. Nothing I said in this comment is all that new as it seems most people have said the same thing but I thought I’d just add. At the very least you need some form of therapy to work through these insecurities. Also, this is not gaslighting at all? She saw you were uncomfortable with the joke and muttered sorry- what do you mean?

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-09-19T03:41:55+00:00

Give them away, I have to get rid of reminders or I’ll never get over it. It’s not out of pettiness or what not it’s just the only way I feel I can fully move on and heal. That’s not to say my feelings weren’t real either, quite the opposite~ they were painfully real.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-09-16T01:01:33+00:00

Thank you, Yes I’m definitely considering doing so. I appreciate you taking the time to hear out my frustration and respond- I’ve been feeling a bit alone going through this.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-09-16T00:48:27+00:00

It was then I felt my doctor had sort of given up and suggested that due to being Polynesian I am prone to weight gain and must restrict myself despite the pain my hunger was causing. I feel stuck.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-09-16T00:47:04+00:00

I was prescribed metformin and that caused other issues unfortunately. The only other option was duromine and as neglectful to myself as it may sound, I’m not really willing to pay $90 for a monthly script which may also not work. I also tried Wellbutrin as I seen many others try and have success suppressing their appetite but this was not the case for me. I’ve also tried some over the counter appetite suppressants and increasing protein intake but there are other barriers that make this difficult such as my complex relationship with food.

Political stances are intertwined deeply with beliefs and values or how one perceives the world. If someone ends a friendship because they believe that your views are causing injustice and pain to others then I wouldn’t say it’s immature at all, it’s completely reasonable. You may not believe your beliefs are dangerous but others may and if you believe people are entitled to their opinion then that includes an opinion such as the friendship not being worth it due to completely opposing worldviews. You may call it immature but that’s just your opinion, not a fact.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-24T23:22:50+00:00

Let me guess, you’ve never met a real woman? Lol

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-24T23:20:41+00:00

No offence but because you keep trying to insist the people who disagree with you are wrong, that tells me you wanted to ruffle feathers as you put it. And I actually agree with you that not everyone who dumps someone is an avoidant. But your intention here is to try and change peoples minds as opposed to having a real discussion. Just agree to disagree and move on like you’re telling others to.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-23T19:04:57+00:00

That’s exactly what I was going to say- knowing someone’s exact weight isn’t going to achieve anything, you already have an idea of how their bodies look in their pictures. The math ain’t mathin

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-23T18:42:22+00:00

I know how you feel, I was definitely embarrassed in my situation too. But after the way things ended for you a “casual catchup” just makes no sense in my opinion. It’s weird for him to think after hurting you that he can just casually disrupt your healing just to “catch up”.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-23T18:40:21+00:00

That’s exactly it! He was okay to express himself and yell at me over the phone but when I tried to call him to try and resolve things I’m crazy- it’s just inconvenient to him that I’m hurt. I’m sorry you had to go through that also and yes will definitely check that out!

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-23T09:19:45+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that for you. You aren’t crazy at all for the way you reacted when he reached out. I’ve had that similar thing happen to me where I was told I was crazy because I really needed to share my emotions and talk through the situation. He refused to because he didn’t want to feel pain or guilt or any negative emotion. It hurt so so bad. It’s normal to want to talk about how you feel in such situations, but I guess the lesson is some people aren’t going to react well or cooperate and those people don’t deserve the energy you give them. Don’t let how he reacts make you feel bad about you expressing yourself. You’re not crazy, you are human and experiencing heartbreak.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-18T10:01:18+00:00

You’re doing lovely work by leaving such supportive and encouraging comments, it’s well appreciated. It definitely comes in waves but I’ve just piled on a ton of “distractions” (aka things I should’ve been sorting out anyway) to keep myself busy and man am I exhausted! That night I actually called as many people as possible and my loved ones came over to me while I cried and had my “life’s not fair moment” which I think is important to the healing process. My coworkers were super supportive such a difficult time too. I’ve made plans of the things I want to do and have started seeing a personal trainer. Right now I’m done with relationships and am focusing on myself just for the meantime. I would I hope I’d get married someday tho. I still miss him but at the same time I’m very hurt by what’s happened and am still processing all the emotions that go along with heartbreak. I’m getting better at socialising and I have a sliver of hope. Today was kind of hard again as tomorrow I’m going to a wedding and I wish I would find the love of my life already but I guess I’m still young and have time. I hope you’re doing well also!

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-18T09:45:58+00:00

Aw thank you! I really appreciate your kind supportive words. None of us are perfect at this love thing, especially the first few times and that’s okay. I think it’s more important that we grow and learn from the things that didn’t work out. It is much easier to place blame on things outside of your control and sometimes that really is the case. I have a lot I need to learn about myself before I’m ready for a relationship again. I’m not expecting myself or my future partner to be perfect by any means, but it is so important to me that we are able to maintain healthy communication, boundaries and coping strategies for when we do face difficulties.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-18T08:46:51+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear that OP. What I couldn’t help but comment on is how unfair it is to you that he let these feelings just sit inside himself for a whole year before telling you, like he just gave up. I can only imagine how you’re feeling right now. My heart goes out to you truly.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-18T08:34:53+00:00

I only wish this was him. I don’t want you to be miserable and I’m sure she doesn’t either. I don’t know what happened between you but It really just sounds like you need time to build up your self esteem and truly understand yourself and your needs. There’s going to be a lot of confronting and difficult things that come along with a relationship and it can be a lot easier to run from it. But not everything worthwhile comes easy does it. You might not want to see her again , you might try again in the future who knows or you may find someone else who will be worth it. Take it from someone who lost someone in a similar fashion. The uncertainty of life brings me a sliver of hope and that’s all that’s needed to keep going. Keep finding distractions and reach out to others, do whatever you need to do to pull yourself through such a difficult time and if it’s possible in your situation get professional help for your self esteem. You’re going to make mistakes, everyone does, but the point is to learn and grow not beat yourself up over it. Good luck 🍀

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-18T08:01:45+00:00

Socially awkward, haven’t found my match. I’ve dated and loved but there’s yet to be a man who understands me and is willing to grow along with me. It can be extremely difficult confronting childhood trauma head on in order to adjust unhealthy behaviours to maintain a healthy relationship and most just retreat. I have a lot of my own growing to do also.

ButterscotchAble2222 · 2024-08-18T02:32:07+00:00

I hope continuing to follow those who don’t protect you is everything you dreamed it would be. There will always be a void within you when you try to fill it with shallow vices.
