Weighing In...

Most of you may have picked this up by now but I have suffered from a fair amount of depression in my life, and as a result have been on many different types of medication. I don't mind the medication, even though it almost always has side effects, for example the medication I am on now causes me to be extremely numb and tired at times, while the previous one made me sleep almost not at all [like 4 hours a night] and my appetite was non existent.

These things don't really bother me because they come with the territory, but the thing that does bother me is my weight fluctuation. My mom has been overweight for most of her life and as a result she is super paranoid about my weight. Every time I change meds, my weight condition flies in the opposite direction. Before I was on the Cipralex I was thinner than a reed. My bones could be seen through my skin, and no matter what I ate I couldn't pick up weight.

Now with the more recent batch I have been picking up weight like it's going out of fashion. I have gone from weighing 60 kgs to 80 or so, probably more. Never fun.

So this blog is totally pointless, but I just wanted to express my distaste for weight changing. It sucks, and I wish I could just go back to normal. I guess like all the other side effects, it is part of the deal...
