Feeling insecure about my weight gain being on abilify. Although it helps me so much it has caused me to weight 30+ lbs and everyone in my family comments on my weight. I even got broken up with recently by a bf because he wasn’t “physically attracted to me.” I’m just discouraged.

        @Fleetwood Yes I think I have around that much weight gain. I really want to switch or lower the dosage to see if maybe that will help.

      Weight fluctuates with health issues 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s hard, but there’s nothing wrong with having extra weight on our bodies despite what the fatohobic culture tells us. Think of it as extra stored energy your body needs right now to heal. And frankly you don’t need a partner like that. That’s not conducive to a healing environment for your body. I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with such negativity from those around you. That’s a them problem. I’m gaining weight on Abilify too but also regaining the ability to read books ☺️
