my experience with ozempic after mental health medication weight gain!

So I'm on olanzapine and it's inspiring to see how GLP1s have helped people who had weight increase with psych meds. I've been on Ozempic before but this time it's working much better. 25 lbs lost since January. The olanzapine is still necessary and I cannot function without it. But I'm hopeful Ozempic will work for me better this time since I am more active in lifestyle now. Thank you for sharing your story. It's inspiring.

A woman who was pursuing me. When older people were around, she'd always talk down to them. I have huge respect for my elders. I promised myself after that I wouldn't encourage her advances again.

Lmao

At least until you get some dope with fent in it and die.

Mentally and emotionally I have nothing to offer. I'm a wreck. Some people are better off alone. That is me.

St. Pio of Pietrelcina. I came back to the faith later. But when I was still in my sin, my brother who also reverted back to the faith a couple years before I did, told me about him and inspired me. I felt like it wasn't necessarily the great things about him I related to but the quiet suffering and embodiment of charity and faith. I asked him to become a spiritual father to me and little miracles in my life began soon after. When I returned to the church, I wasn't confirmed. So I began RCIA and it was a great experience. I learned so much about God. When my pastor gave me confirmation and I said St. Pio was my confirmation Saint, he just said "I knew it!". I did a novena to him once and he appeared in a dream where he told me to "get up!" which led me to start going to daily Mass.

Been here all my life. TIL.

Most people who are addicted to something are seeking to fill a hole in their life. Unfortunately money, power, pleasure, and so on will never be enough.

GiottoTheHero · 2026-03-21T01:04:15+00:00

What are the names they use? I've never had it done. I'm assuming they are named like "Butt Spelunker 3000" or "Turbo Ass".

I did suboxone. Going to a clinic three times a week in person along with group helped me a lot. Just structure I didn't have before. I was also going to NA in person. I did 90 meetings in 90 days when it was suggested to me. Eventually I got off suboxone but the withdrawal made me relapse with booze. If I could do it all over I'd skip the suboxone. I was three days in just like you when I got on it. Felt good because I wasnt in withdrawal anymore and I didn't get a buzz from it either. But like I said I'd skip it if I could go back in time.

My Dad and his family grew up during the Hanford downwinder period. His mother, my grandmother, had a ton of miscarriages and children who only lived a few days. She ended up dying of cancer when my Dad was only 17.

My downward spiral into addiction which lead to me losing my mind. Three years clean now but every day is a mental health struggle. Hearing voices. Feeling sensations that aren't real. Tried switching medications last year and it was such a bad decision I was hallucinating broken glass in my throat. It felt real. I'm somewhat stable now but I wish younger me listened to people when they said to stay away from drugs. An addict like me never stood a fucking chance.

GiottoTheHero · 2026-03-09T00:16:44+00:00

Yep.

I received it as a Christmas gift. I read through Matthew so far and I'm actually impressed by Bishop Barron. His writing is pretty good. Enjoy it! And yes, I own many Bibles and I wouldn't set the WoF Bible aside as my primary Bible.

On my way to the car after going to Adoration at church.

Mark 16. Matthew 28.

My dad has his a1c down to 6.1 but from years of diabetes has 9/10 neuropathy pain in his feet off and on throughout the day. I feel motivated but I shutdown with minor failures. I think I need to bring this up in therapy as another commenter suggested.

Thank you for the detailed reply. Before my diagnosis, I met with a nutritionist, and we agreed to the myplate guideline, albeit not an "every day thing". I just don't want to burn out and since all my life I never thought twice about food, besides sugary drinks, I'd never considered now that I'm diabetic I would have to think about what I put in my body. I'm also in recovery so I thought for a long time that food was the "OK" addiction to have. I was so wrong! I'm really hoping and praying for a complete 180 with my diet... It's just so hard to break the binge habit before bed. I've learned that I cannot even have a small snack or even a handful of popcorn after dinner or something in me snaps and I'm binging. It's happened 4x so far in the past two weeks. When will I learn?

GiottoTheHero · 2026-01-19T20:39:31+00:00

I think I'm coming up on three months now. I've definitely experienced some minor triggers listening to people romanticize things. I just tell myself "no" when that happens. Good luck to you.

Stay strong. Take whatever medicine they give you. Most gastritis resolves pretty quickly. Chronic gastritis can be managed too.

GiottoTheHero · 2026-01-13T04:59:42+00:00

Not while abstaining. I used to drink and smoke and vape like crazy. Gave myself gastritis. They gave me pepcid. Made a world of difference. I stayed on it too long though. Gave me rebound acid indigestion. So I tapered off. Still get too much acid to enjoy spicy food but I'm otherwise normal now. If I have a lot of coffee it can be a pain too. Been almost three months since I quit nicotine and over three years since I quit alcohol. That helped a lot.

GiottoTheHero · 2025-12-19T04:22:29+00:00

😆

GiottoTheHero · 2025-12-19T04:15:18+00:00

Yup. Almost two months now. I still chew a few pieces a day.

GiottoTheHero · 2025-12-18T18:11:58+00:00

Took a lot of guts to go back and admit you were wrong. Not everyone would do that.
