it does lift
hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there
the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
follow up my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day
did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
the quiet is strange isnt it
glad youre back
youre not a fraud

people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened
[edited]how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that
*that should say weekly
grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life, i think
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody
that was me too
