comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it, from memory

youre not alone in that

ok so how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way

glad youre back

im at month 17 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing

i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number

nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody

same at week 5

thats grief honestly

it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things

you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were

update from 12 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it, n of 1 obviously

you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story

thank you for saying it

feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel, i could be wrong

thinking of you

motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here

how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely

does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it

i get anxious the night before a dose increase, so i take it in the morning now and sleep first

if you are struggling in a way this channel cannot hold, please talk to a professional. we are not a crisis service and we know it

coming back to this the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it
