Struggling with Weight Gain and Self-Hatred

how can i stop hating myself for gaining weight? i know it is a side effect of my medication (that is working well for my bipolar 2) but the pain i feel when i see myself getting bigger is excruciating and it is driving me insane. i feel guilty every time i eat but i also can’t stop eating even if i wanted to

you are beautiful no matter who you are and what you look like. you were not put on this earth to fit a mold that society tells us to, nor put on this earth to think any less of yourself. try telling yourself possibly that “this weight is the success of helping with my bipolar, and my body needs food for me to function to get better and recover”
