Highlights from this day
- evidence_or_not — the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it 18:43
- evidence_or_not — how do you stop reading every twinge as something serious 19:05
- surpass_two — ok so it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things 20:19
- surpass_two — the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment 21:23
coming back to this did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that
does anyone else find compliments make them want to hide
the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel

i came back at month 2 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected
how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely

i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well
youre not alone in that
comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it
we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so, i think
i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number, ill dig out the number
ok so it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things

thank you for saying it
flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment
