Oh, I forgot to even address the medication. If your therapist isn't willing to listen to you, then you need to find a new therapist. I also had this problem, and gained A LOT of weight on medication, all the while being told that I should just keep a closer eye on my diet. HELLO? I already diet all the time, that's pretty much my "thing." Anyway. I had to go through many doctors before I found one that realized: I DON'T WANT TO GAIN MORE WEIGHT. And the weight gain really didn't help, and I'm sure it negated any possible positive effects of the drugs themselves, because I was much too concerned and horrified by the weight gain. DO NOT SETTLE when it comes your your mental health or your physical health. I really wish I would have stood up for myself against drug pushing doctors.
