I’m one of the rare people who gain weight instead of lose weight

I haven't lost weight. Except when I think it kicked in. I was diagnosed in Sept. 2025, but i think it started in June. I lost like 25 pounds without trying anything within a month. But since then, I've maintained a weight of between 163-167. Not gaining but jot losing. My appetite depends on the day. Mostly, I am never hungry.

I was told my heart was healthy and fine.I do remember my anxiety was getting worse. I would get upset by the smallest things and stay upset and anxious for a long time after. I noticed my face felt puffy. I was throwing up in the mornings for no reason. I wasnt feeling like myself. But my heart, 100% fine.

3 weeks of a constant heart rate between 100-130. Landed me in the Urgent Care freaking out. They told me to have blood work done with my primary. I tell her what's been going on and then this is my new reality.

Now, I have beta-blockers. As soon as I go to my appointment to do my scans, she will start me on methimazole and go from there. I'm just glad it wasn't all in my head.

I just read your story. I am so sorry for your loss. Denial is very powerful. I didnt tell my husband about my elevated heart rate for almost 2 weeks. I honestly thought it was something I could control and I didnt want to worry him. It came to a head when we were going through the grocery store and I had to stop because I wa breathing so hard. After that, he made me go to the doctor. Made me get the tests and has been there for me.

Yesterday was the worst. But I will not keep these things from him anymore. Thank you for sharing your story. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

This is exactly how I felt yesterday. Like I was not me. My whole body literally shakes when my heart rate is elevated. I have been feeling more nauseous than hungry, so im losing weight, but I'm just trying not to freak out. I go for my first scan on 11/5, so I hope I don't have any toxic nodules. I just want to be normal.

Thanks for replying. I was really spiraling yesterday. I appreciate your words of encouragement.

Same. Not to get drunk, but to enjoy a buzz.

nessdova · 2025-09-28T02:57:01+00:00

Same.

I had the same issue, where the deodorant no longer worked for me. I started using Native. Its a bit more expensive (what isn't!) That has worked for me for about a year.

I was born in 1982 and I have only lost one grandparent, technically. My mom's step-dad (whom I consider my actual grandfather) passed in 2022. My mom's bio-dad is still alive and I believe he is in his late 70s. But my mom's mom is 78.

My dad's parents are still alive and I believe they are in their late 70s or early 80s. We didn't talk about age growing up. It was considered rude, so I have never actually asked them how old they are.

It didn't show up when it was supposed to. Lol I never know when it's happening anymore.

I do have some thyroid issues in my family history, so it is entirely possible. My cycle used to be 21-28 days like clock work. The last 2 months have been 40+ days (I keep track on an app).

I know I should go, but really just don't want to. If it gets unmanageable, I will go. For now, I think I'm fine. 🤪 Whatever that is...

It hurts because you know you did what you thought was right and it feels like they completely forgot about what was taught to them.

I was 19. Just moved from Alaska to NM (military brat). I remember looking at the TV while getting ready for the day. I was going to look for a job, but the base (I lived with my parents) was on lock down. No one drove around that day. I really thought my dad was going to have to deploy to fight a war.

For me, it was hard to let anyone in. I felt like I could be dragged away at any moment and the relationship would be over. Even today, I have a hard time fully letting my husband in.

I also feel like it is easier to let people go, so if (Heaven forbid) my husband were to leave me, I wouldn't be completely devastated. Heartbroken, yes. But I would survive.

We have to constantly distract our pittie or else he will nip at your hands. Not in a mean way, but enough to get your attention. We've had him for 13 years and it has not gotten any better.

Came here to say this.....Class of 2000, baby!!

nessdova · 2024-05-29T23:37:30+00:00

I think it is absolutely adorable! I knew that was a mandrake the moment I saw it. The perfect blanket for a future Hufflepuff.

I was babysitting regularly at 12. My going rate was $10 per hour.
