Nature1968, yeah somebody close to me is on psychosis meds and they have gained weight and I know they don't like it either.

I don't know your situation but from what you written here, it seems to me you have the right to be angry at them. And I think if it helps you process this, you can keep posting here and sharing how you feel.

At the same time, do you also like them or love them aside from this behavior? Because if you do, would you want to hurt them? Because sometimes people feel very angry and then do something and then they regret it because they hurt people that they love, their family and friends, and so on.

So one thing you could do is take a few deep breaths, just try to relax a little bit and focus on positive things and whatever brings you joy. You can also contact your doctor and talk about how you feel and whatever treatment is available. If it's psychosis pills (lots of people take them, people whose angers cause them distress or worries them they would act in ways that would harm themselves or other people), then yes they might lead to weight gain but there are things you can do to lower your weight and also there are other psychosis pills available that have lower risk of weight gain. You bring this up with your doc.

But there is help available and don't let your anger get the better of you, okay?
