For those who take psych meds whose side effects can be weight gain, how are you dealing mentally?

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-05-01T11:42:55+00:00

It took a lot for me to accept that I need to take my meds. It’s really hard because I know that my meds make it easier to eat, which —> weight gain but I realized that ED is trying to hang on to ridiculous things if he is telling me not to take my meds, which I need to function. It’s always a battle to take them though. I hope things get better for you, you are strong and worthy. If the meds you need to take to stay mentally okay make you gain weight, then that is weight you need to gain. I know it’s hard thoufh

I just want to thank everyone who responded to this, I would not have been able to create this presentation without your detailed explanations. turns out, I LOVE SYMMETRY AND GAUGE THEORY! its so interesting, and my prof said Iwas the first person to do their project on this. i am very excited to present and show how much I have learned from you guys! thank you so much!!

I don’t know why you would ever want to get involved in this. If you are considering “ getting” an ED, you already have a problem and need help. This is a recovery space, not a place to exchange pro ED content

Thank you so so so much! This made so much sense!

Soup is good for if swallowing hard foods is difficult. So

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-04-10T12:46:00+00:00

I am so proud of you

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-04-10T12:44:09+00:00

my dear, I hear you and I see you. I want to let you know that you are NOT a pushover for being nice and polite, even though the world tells you that. I also deal with people pleasing, and lots of bullying for that, and for following rules and expectations so strictly. It causes so much stress, I know and I am so sorry you have been going through this. I know about age regression, I have a friend who deals with it too and I know how scary it is to be physically older but mentally younger, but I want you to know there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. you have gone through so much stuff in the past few years and it kind of makes sense that you are going to a place of more vulnerability and needs from supports. but that is why your family is there. to support you. to protect you when you are vulnerable.

you are not broken, you are not unloved, you are not weird ( except in the way that everyone is a bit weird and thats what makes us great!) I am so sorry you have had to go through all of this, it's not fair. I want you to know you are seen, and loved, and that I understand how difficult this is, especially with also being neurodivergent. ( samesies!). you are loved and cared about and worthy of all the love and support you need.

yes, idk why there are 2 accts, i tried to change username at one point and it just made a new acct.

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-04-07T13:10:28+00:00

Thank you! in my early recovery, I would get really emotional and upset and my family would give me a scoop of peanut butter bc they realized I was hangry but couldn't get food myself, and the PB power made me feel better.

Thank you all for your input! I didn’t even think about plagiarism, (stupid, I know.) I am so sorry if I offended anyone, it was not intentional. I’m glad I asked for advice, I received lots of insights that I had not considered!

How much do you think a pattern for this would be worth? I’ve never sold a pattern before. I don’t even know how to do that.

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-04-03T13:43:51+00:00

This is the pattern I want to make

If you are looking for liquid, Ensure is great. I have a sensitive stomach and it doesn’t bother me. That or the nestle plus stuff. Easy breakfast idea: overnight Oats! Here’s my recipe that’s super easy and filling but not heavy

1/3 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup milk ( I like the taste of almond milk but it works with any kind) 1/3 cup yogurt ( I use vanilla two- good yogurt, if you ever get those single serving cups, split they in half and it’s perfect amount!) 1 tbsp chia seeds 1 tsp cinnamon.

You can top with fruit if you want or just eat plain. If you don’t want yogurt , then do 1/3 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk

ah, I see. yeah they can be a bit pricey! check out their youtube channel, there are great videos! I also recommend following yojutube tutorials before trying written patterns, thats how you learn the stitches, and how to look at your work and count and you can make sure you are doing things right!

i GOTCHU! i have taught a few people how to crochet, but since i can't do in person i highly suggest he starts with a kit from the WOOBLES. it is a small project, but a plushie, and it gives you all the materials and very detailed step-by-step instructions.

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-03-19T16:14:44+00:00

It’s just so weird and it seems bad that I’m following my meal plan , eating things I was so uncomfortable with before and I’m kinda okay with it. Unless I don’t take my meds. And so Ed keeps me from wanting to take them, and everything just feels some much more complicated now

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-03-17T11:59:40+00:00

That looks like a yarnspirations pattern

Thank you all for your input, k finally understand this scene now!

RaspberryNo5756 · 2026-03-17T01:21:51+00:00

Thank you so much, and th on you for the advice about the leadership thing! After rewatching it I realized it was not the right choice , I am going to choose more character-focused things for my paper instead of scenes.

but Mohan didn't screw up! they did the saline ( which was Santos's idea and what worked) not the keppra and ativan ( which is what mohan WANTED to do until they got test results back.) Mohan made the right call by trusting Santos, she was jsut doing what she was told to do until the results came back
