Bastard Weight Gain and Olanzapine

[Stuffragette]

I’m so fucked off. I’m bipolar. My psychiatrist put me on quetiapine a while back which kindly made me put on three stone in weight and didn’t do much to my mood. Then we tried olanzapine which added on another stone in one month. Im sat here in tears at my fat ugly body. It feels so unfair. It hasn’t really done much for me mood wise. I thought it had but I have been the wicked witch from the west for the past week. I hate my brain I hate my body. Why is everything such hard work?

It's really difficult isn't it? I have been on olanzapine 2years and have put on 2stone and I don't think it helps me that much if at all. Sorry things are so rough at the moment.

I'm on 400mg quetiapine for bpd...or quite possibly bipolar. My psychiatrist can't make up his mind.

I also have an eating disorder. It's the shittiest battle I've ever had to endure.
My body wants me to eat all the time.
My mind wants me to restrict, starve myself and vomit.
The conflict is so incredibly hard.

Sorry, no advice. But you're not alone
