I'm so huge and fat, I'll be dead in five years

[AppleJuiceAvid]

In my early 30s, 5ft4 and last time I got on the scales, I weighed 26 and a half stone. Currently on the antipsychotic Aripiprazole (15mg daily) and Fluoxetine (20mg daily). Before that, I was on Olanzapine and Paroxetine. Before that I was on Sertraline. Before that I was on Mirtazapine. Before that I was on Citalopram. Got a parent who has hypothyroidism. At the beginning of the year, I had blood tests after a stomach bug and got told I am deficient in Vitamin D and B12. I was prescribed some Vitamin D to take twice a week, but I have not been taking it consistently. My face is puffy and I get hairs on my chin and a few on my chest. Periods are irregular and when I do get them, they get quite heavy. I'm tired all the time and the house is a mess, but I just have no energy to do anything. I barely manage to get up for work. Got left pelvic pain and left hip hurts when walking. Ankles seem swollen and feel sore when I lie down in bed at night. Get out of breath going up the stairs and too fat to reach my toenails to cut them. I want to lose weight, but just feel hopeless.

This is your answer. It was made for people like you. I have osteopenia and could feel the strain of the weight on my hips at 11 stone so went on it (I'm shorter than you with a comorbidity). It's changed my life.

Sorry, don't have time to read through the posts etc and this may have been suggested already, but I found that using a hypnosis CD and reading the notes daily, did give me an edge when I was trying to lose weight.

I didn't feel the need to snack during the day and in the evening and it did help.
It wasn't a miracle worker but I definitely noticed that I wasn't prowling around the cupboards all the time, looking for any snacks I could get my hands on.

The CD I had (which came with it a booklet listing the subliminal phrases that were spoken quietly on the CD and which you need to read daily) was by Inner Talk but there will be others available too and I don't know which one is best.

You have to keep it up but in my opinion, it's worth it.

On the back of this thread I did some more googling and I was wrong, you can have it with aripiprazole normally but 15mg is very high, I'd still say OP needs to get that checked. I also hadn't thought about Wegovy, that would be an option too.
