i came back at month 16 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine

Highlights from this day
thats grief honestly
thinking of you
coming back to this the food noise went completely quiet and i dont know what to do with the silence, is that normal
motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
were not clinicians

nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody

im at month 1 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect
mood dipped hard around week 30, did that lift for anyone
⚠️3🧊4🔥3
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
hold on if you can
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
glad youre back
my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
be kind to yourself
the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
same at week 5
the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it
not the easy way
my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened
youre not alone in that
hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there
for the archive nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it
how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
that counts
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.
