Weight Gain is OK

Recently I had an appointment with my psychiatrist, and she asked me how my weight gain and appetite was doing. I told her I have gained 5-10 lbs in the last 4-5 months, but that I was comfortable with that weight gain, and I stated I felt healthy. She asked me my height, and she said she needed to lose some weight because she weighs more than I do.

I’ve seen a lot of people throughout the bipolar subreddits on here complain about weight gain, and I just wanted to let y’all know YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! It’s about a healthy diet, a good workout routine, and a healthy mindset! I’m tired of hearing people worry about their weight because of a medication we need to survive.We should not be as worried about our weight as our episodes getting bad enough to put us out of work or to hospitalize ourselves. Please, I urge people concerned about how they look to love themselves.
