Before I was ever diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, and before I took anything for it, I weighed 185 lb. That was 20 years ago, and since then I was prescribed Zyprexa, then Seroquel, and finally Abilify, which I have been on Abilify for about 16 years.

I have not been doing well with the weight. Today I weighed in at 310 lb. I am not eating a huge amount of food. I drink a lot of water, but my doctor said it's not water weight because my ankles are not swollen.

I am not exercising vigorously at this point, and I know I should be doing more walking in general. But it's been really hard to walk and to get around because I am so heavy. I am very disorganized in my head and foggy brained, depressed and basically despairing many days, and that doesn't help me either to start exercising more. And I don't have the funds to join a gym. And it's winter. Hard to walk outside, even if I was motivated.

I need help. If anyone has any encouragement, please post a reply.
