Keep gaining weight and now depressed

I'm so stuck. Please please help me. I've been consistently gaining weight since going on hrt and now I'm 2 stone overweight and really panicking.

Has anyone else had this and been able to turn it round?! I gave up drinking 4 months ago and I'm still gaining. I'm massively depressed and can't bear to be naked. I dread showers and baths.

For context I'm 5ft9 and used to run all the time until an injury in lockdown stopped that. My healthy weight is 12-12.7 stone and now I'm over 14.

I don't recognise myself and am despairing. If I go to the gp o just feel like they'll fob me off.

Help.

Hi op would you say it to gp. I feel I put on weight too disheartening. Hips and stomach areas. 6mths on it. Havent found patches amazing.

Hi OP - did you find a solution to this? I’ve put on similar amounts of weight too (I’m 48) and I haven’t even gone on to HRT yet! But some issues so thinking about it…
