Can I ask if your weight gain is from medication? I am bipolar and my doctor put me on Lamictal. I went down four dress sizes in five months. It just wasnt hungry (which is a side effect). I dont have a lot of cravings for sweets or snacking. What I really want is fruit. Even soda is blah. Another side effect is increase libido. Another plus.

I dont know what your diagnosis is. I dont even know if I helped.

Give yourself a break. List all the positives about you as a person. List all the people that care about you (including the check out lady at the super market that you tend to talk to) Dont short change yourself.
