Coping with Antidepressant Weight Gain

Struggling with weight gain due to antidepressants has been a difficult journey for me. I never imagined that seeking help for my mental health would lead to this side effect. It’s been tough to see my body change, especially when I know it’s a result of trying to improve my mental well-being. However, I try to remind myself that my mental health is the priority and that I can work on the physical aspects later. I’ve been focusing on finding ways to stay active and make healthier food choices, while also seeking support from my therapist and friends. It’s not easy, but knowing that I’m taking care of my mental health gives me strength. I hope others going through the same thing can find comfort in knowing they’re not alone.
