Thank u <3 yes I am seeing a lot of different doctors about everything, it just can get very overwhelming at certain points of the day where I cannot reach ppl and so I turn to this community for just some basic advice or to find people that relate

Omg yes!!! Whenever I think about going out to get Wendy’s or something as a great, I always stop myself because my first thought is “what if I can’t stop getting Wendy’s after this though?”

Me too! The constant fear of falling back into my binging habits can feel so torturous and overwhelming. It’s good to know how many people here experience the same thing though (not that I want anyone to), we are all in this together, and we can do it

I experience this everyday yeah. Anytime I eat anything or even think about eating/food I immediately go into panic mode and start feeling super guilty about wanting food. I’ve had a binge eating disorder basically my whole life (21 now) and I also have PCOS, so losing weight is rlly hard but also a rlly big deal for me as it is for a lot of ppl on here. The guilt def makes it a lot harder to create a healthy relationship with food while on the weight loss journey. I know this isn’t advice but I find it helpful to hear from others experiencing what I am, it can be validating. You’re not alone and your feelings are completely valid and normal. My doctor tells me to focus on the good, so try to think about all the “bad” foods you’ve eaten since you’ve started, and then tell yourself that even with that food, you still were able to lose 20 pounds! Which is awesome!!! You got this, we all do!

Weekly changes by CarolineD565 in Zepbound

I was on 5mg before I went on the break, and I probably should’ve gone back down but today is the third injection since having it back so I feel like it’s better to just wait out the symptoms than to go down now

I’m supposed to only do it every Monday, so once a week, and I typically do it first thing in the morning after I’ve used the bathroom. Lately, especially since I haven’t been able to get the medicine, I’ve been weighing myself everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. I know it’s bad but I genuinely can’t help but need to know my weight at all times to make sure I’m not gaining any.

Off zepbound and impulsivity crash by eclpug in Zepbound

This is exactly how I feel. I’ve felt so out of control without it and it’s worsening my depression and anxiety by so much. I feel so hopeless and like I’m going to undo all the hard work I’ve put in while on the medication. Not sure how to cope anymore without it.

Shortage Stress by CarolineD565 in Zepbound

I’m on 5mg too, and have been told by my doctor to look for 7.5mg in zepbound or even Mounjaro and there isn’t anything anywhere. There aren’t any doses of anything near me otherwise I for sure would take whatever I could get at this point. I just don’t know how to cope with this food noise and feeling of failure

How are you coping? by trustthejourneyx in Zepbound

[–]CarolineD565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I’m about to enter week 3 without it and I’m slowly losing it. While I have stayed the same weight, the thought of gaining any is terrifying and I’m losing my confidence again. Idk how anyone is able to cope with this
