So, I tried to get referred to this service it being critical to the treatment I feel I need but the lady is like oh you just need a counsellor and then a dietitian because I have anxiety over weight. So it's just really upsetting that I've been rejected by another service I'm not really sure how I'm gonna get the life skills I need to work or even around the house. I just feel pretty sad about it and today I had very bad anxiety over my weight it's just so defeating, to go to the scale and it's the same weight over and over again. I feel defeated, I feel hopeless. I feel like I'm drowning I feel like I've lost a lot because I don't have energy to do fun things with my niece or be the aunty I want to be. It just hurts because this is the best age to bond with her but I'm riddled with these health issues, that I feel were responsible by olanzipine and I just feel like nobody cares. I don't think the doctor understands the level of anxiety I have over my physical health especially now that I am so heavy, mentally I'm suffering. I just don't want to have a heart attack and leave my niece traumatized I just feel guilty for being in this position. Not sure what to do just want someone to hear.

Just want you to know that I hear you and I understand the fear and frustration. Have you thought of OA? I found it helped. I use the MyFitnessPal (free version) to count calories. I have lost over 20 lbs since last January but I have at least 40 more pounds to lose.
Also, strength training is something I find essential for weight loss - much better than aerobic exercise. Increasing your muscle mass increases your metabolism. I also find it easier to make myself go the gym and use the machines - I don't sweat much doing strength training. I work out at home too but I find the gym much better due to the variety of machines. |

Communicate openly with your doctor about the extent of your anxiety over physical health. Seek a second opinion if needed and explore counseling services despite previous rejections. Join support groups for shared experiences, and advocate for essential services. Prioritize self-care to find moments of respite. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. If in crisis, contact a hotline or seek emergency assistance. There is support which always available.
