I lost 15 kgs/30 pounds last year, but I suffered from anxiety which was really creating many hard and intense obstacles in my life. I felt like a total failure in life because I couldn't study or work because if anxiety, and losing weight make me feel like I was at least accomplishing something, and it came quite naturally to me. This January I started taking antidepressants, and the more I had to increase my dosage, the more weight I gained. I now have gained back all the weight I lost in 8 months last year, I think I gained 7 kg this past month alone. It's like my appetite has no end, what made me full before now it's basically nothing. I felt full with a bar of chocolate, now it feels like a bar of chocolate is a little candy. Basically nothing gives the sense of satiety a human normally experience. And training yourself out of something you experienced for your whole life is extremely difficult. My body tells me to eat more because there's no satiety, so even if my calorie tracking app says I'm done for the day, I still feel hungry. I just want to give up because I feel like I can't get both mental and physical health together, I need to choose and right now I can't stop taking antidepressants. Please be mindful with your comments, I know it's my fault because I'm eating much more, I was aware of this before starting antidepressants, but still I wasn't prepare for this strong of a feeling
