Highlights from this day
- lower_frequency — while im here hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there 19:35

- VialBot — Recon calculator: 2mg in 3ml = 8mg/ml. 21:16
slightly off topic but mood dipped hard around week 3, did that lift for anyone
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it
😂1🧊1
feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
youre not alone in that
ok so flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
unrelated but is it normal to feel more emotional generally on this
[edited]the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

were not clinicians
the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it
does the quiet in your head ever feel like a loss rather than a relief
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
genuine question motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it

people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
update from 6 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
⚠️3
i get anxious the night before a dose increase, so i take it in the morning now and sleep first
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
[edited]youre not a fraud

how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
Recon calculator: 2mg in 3ml = 8mg/ml.
it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things, still working it out
for the archive 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, i think
