Before I started psych meds I was the low end of normal and everyone always commented that I looked too skinny. In the year before I was diagnosed and put on meds I was underweight from anxiety and nerves. For the next decade I yo yoed up and down as I was put on meds and then quit meds. I’ve been on meds now for about ten years and my metabolism is messed up but I know it I quit I’ll go down to normal weight without changing anything else. I exercise as best I can with metal in my back. And don’t look that bad though, cause at normal so called bmi I look underweight. So I pay no attention to scales and bmi.
