Well, I did it – I went to my doctor and asked to be put back on my anxiety medication. It’s kind of out of hand at the moment, so I think I need some help. Unfortunately, one of the side effects is weight gain. Fortunately, it helps to keep me sane. I’d rather be sane and fat, than a nervous wreck and thin. We’ll see how long it takes before I start to gain any weight (if at all). I’m hoping, that because I’m watching what I eat, and trying to do regular exercise, that this will help and I still continue to loose weight. I’ve got to go back to the doc in 4 weeks.
I did the usual mental health questionnaire, and fortunately, I was able to answer the ‘do you have any plans to harm yourself’ question truthfully, but saying NO!
I’m the lowest weight I’ve been in years, so at least I’m starting from a good place in that respect.
I’ll let you know how I go.
