It's not fat, but it's carrying extra around the midriff. I guess it makes me feel fat because it is a 10% increase on what I am used to. So it's all relative.
And as I mentioned - the irony is that even if I am on mood stabilising meds and am meant to be more stable, the weight gain in itself will cause depression. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
