I hate being on depression and anxiety medicine because they make you gain weight, my husband gained 30 lbs when he got diagnosed with bipolar, I gained 15 when I got diagnosed with depression with psychotic symptoms.

All I can say, is you can try and do what I do or did.. I was like you, hated the way I looked in the mirror, then I realized that, that’s not how others see me. I’m very critical of myself, and I shouldn’t be. I was born the way I am, i should love the way I am. I started doing small selfies once a day to try to get over the huge hump I have of I hate how I look etc. I went to the doctor, told my doctor that I want to feel better about myself mentally, and she told me about doing therapy outside. I started doing therapy outside, I started drinking more water, I ate a little better than I used to. I walked a lot more than I used to, and I started seeing the pounds go away. And I started noticing that I was looking at myself into what mirrors rather than ignoring the mirror altogether.

When taking a lot of medication you have to eat and you will gain weight especially if you aren't active like me, I have heart and spine problems 😁
