I just met with my Pdoc. It went ok but he kept asking how the welbutrin was helping my weight loss. Which wasn’t why he was putting me on it. I mentioned I had lost 9 pounds and he said “whoa! You lost 9 pounds during a pandemic sitting around and just eating? I bet when you get back to work your weight loss is going to excel.” He doesn’t even know what I weigh though. I didn’t say I was eating. How does he not know I am severely underweight?

I mean, did he forget he prescribed me the Wellbutrin because I had crippling depression and couldn’t get out of bed for a week? He didn’t mention how my depression was at all. I have ED traits and while I am trying to lose weight I found his comments to be a bit triggering.

The Wellbutrin is helping way more with my depression then it is with my weight loss.

I just freak out when stuff like this happens and then I get trust issues with everyone at that place including with my therapist.
