Im laura anyway if youre talking to me
One thing I find hard is my family are always passing comments on people who are over weight.Thay dont stop for one second to think how much it effects me.Small minded sh*t
I actually did a food diary for one doc ,cos she didnt believe me.Anyway it was pointless cos she did nothing for me .One nurse abused me screaming inot my face that I was lying about what I was eating.I had to write a letter of complaint about her,shes still working there.
Im peuked of it

I was talking to _Tormented_, but its nice to meet you Laura :)
Christ, people are bloody awful aren't they... I don't understand how some doctors and nurses are allowed to practise when they treat poeple like such garbage. Why do people think its OK to be judgemental about weight (or anything else for that matter) so casually?

Sorry Oops haha
yeah that nurse I complained ,I decided to not take it any further because I would have felt bad.I just wanted to make the other people she works with aware of her behaviour.I dont think she should be in the Mh profession .I think she could be an alcoholic but I couldnt possible say that.
Its awful for patients to be at such a loss aboutt heir weight and be treated with disrespect.Im afraid Im going to develop an ED and Im going to make the psych aware of this .Im at breaking point.

Katie - Yeah it is Sarah =) I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences with GP's, I have actually put it on my record that I refuse to see one of the GP's in my local practice because he is such a horrible man (and it's not just me, I live in a small community and everyone I've spoken to about him has agreed with me.) I hope you can find a GP who you feel comfortable with, I'm not sure about your practice but the one I had in my last area actually had a GP who specialized in treating those with MH issues, perhaps you could ask if they have the same in your practice?
Laura - I'm so sorry to hear that you feel at breaking point, especially that this is triggering worries of ED behavior. I can really relate to that as my meds weight gain has triggered a serious relapse in my ED which, though I had my ups and downs, I considered to be recovered from before taking these tablets. I think it's a very good idea to bring this up with your psych, and I hope that something can be done. I'm also sorry to hear that your family say things like that, have you tried bringing it up with them about how their comments make you feel?
I haven't taken my tablets in quite a while now and I'm worried that I'm starting to get worse again, but I'm terrified of talking to anyone about it because they'll just make me go back on them and I'll carry on gaining weight =( I also have to have a blood test and ECG done and I'm scared that they'll see that I'm not taking them so I haven't made the appointment. Me = Fail *sigh*
You see a mouse trap
I see free cheese
And a ****ing challenge
sarah nobody listens when I say dont call people fat ,its hurtful.Im having problems with one of the nurses .he knew about a private appointment I had even though i had told NOBOY about it .I am wondering how the psych nurses have access to private information about me .They then gave me an appointment which co incided with the other appointment .So i dont know what to do about the psych now .And I really need a md change

Flutterby, I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I've heard (but I'm not sure where, so don't take it as Absolute Truth) that mirtazapine both increases your apetite and slows down your metabolism, so its kind of a double hit :( but maybe its worth expressing your concerns to whoever is in control of your med change, maybe they can suggest some ways to combat it in a healthy way that won't trigger you to restrict? However you have to weigh up (erghhhhhh puns) whether its worth a couple of pounds to improve your depression.
And Sarah, the thign with my surgery is that its the uni surgery- we have "guest" doctors, for lack of a better expression, who come in from one surgery for the morning to see students on campus. And while most of the time you'll see the same person if you go in on the same day each time, but its always a bit of a gamble. And sometimes you can't really wait that few days to possibly not see someone, if that makes sense?

If it helps any (not sure if it will), I've heard if you're craving fast food, generally it means your body is craving salt. And apparetly sushi is a good alternative for getting that. Same like if you're craving sweets, eat fruit and stuff.

I've gained a lot of gain from taking Depakote and Risperidone.I lost a bit with Effexor,but gained it back.Now I'm on 15 mg of Zyprexa/Olanzapine and my weight is stable.But I still hate my body.
You can buy me with a coffee,I'm so cheap. Got bitten fingernails&a head full of past;Got a broken heart&your name on my cast.
&&I wanted her to tell me that she will never wake me.
Thanks rockaroni ,thats helpful .I know for deffo the meds were making me fat cos since I reduced I dont feel hungry and my stomach feels flatter.\the last time I stopped taking them I lost loads of weight but they made me go back on again.I had vegan burgers with 1g fat today for dinner and I wasnt hungry after which was very unusual.
I have never heard of Effexor ?Glad your weight is stable now crypt.

iv decided i really need to do something about the weight iv put on, wish me luck!! i talked to my dr and we're lowering the dose of some of my medication to see if that helps..i hope so!
thats really interesting about the cravings etc, il have to remember that :)
Effexor is venlafaxine, I think its an SNRI antidepressant.
Good luck silent dancer, I hope it goes well. I think next time I go to the GP for anything I'm going to bring up my weight and how unhappy I am with it.

Good luck silent dancer and rockaroni.I have found however that the gps are the wprst to talk to .It was all women I met and none of them were sympathetic.One made make a food diary and was actually speechless when she saw how little I was eating.She thought she ws going to catch me out and lecture me.One of them got agressive with me whn I brought it up.None of them would give me diet aids or help me.F*ck the system !!!!!!

To be honest, I'm hoping they'll refer me to a proper dietician. Last time an actual GP gave me advice, they told me to increase the fibre in my diet by shitloads. So I did, and its pretty much left me with IBS, which is less than fun :( but yeah, they were surprised at my average diet, and how its normally healthy. Erghhhhhh.
