Recently come off sertraline after 4 years and have been having a lot of negative thoughts over body image. In those 4 years of being on sertraline, I've put on 3 stone in weight and hate the way I look. I do walk a lot but find I struggle with eating the correct calories. I over eat a lot, I just really like food. I got upset about it the other day saying how much I hate the way I look and my partner suggested I may have body dysmorphia. I'd never imagined myself to have dysmorphia but it kind of makes sense. I look in the mirror and I see an imposter in my own body. I picture myself as that one from before my antidepressants, one which was 3 stone lighter and could fit into clothes easier. I was fitter back then, I didn't get out of breath doing certain things and I didn't have plantar fascitis either.

      It does sound like your struggling with the extra weight you have put on, try contacting your doctors and telling them what’s going on and how your feeling
