Let myself go
It's been years since my last pregnancy and I'm confident that we are done. I have too many health problems to feel like I can carry another baby. My body isn't cooperating anyway.
My issue is that I was put on a medicine to treat a mental disorder, this medicine had a side effect. I was aware and my doctor said she would monitor it. Long story short, she didn't and I ended up gaining 75 lbs in less than 8 months.
Since then my GP had taken me off of it, put me on metformin, I'm now a diabetic! I am in constant pain with my back, I am not exaggerating when I say that it hurts to walk up and down stairs. I can work out for short periods of time but my gym has no air conditioning and its 94 degrees today, I feel like I would pass out.
I'm having night sweats, I'm experiencing insomnia, depression but not nearly as bad as it was in the past. My biggest issue is that I feel like a heap of blob and I literally don't know where to begin.
I don't shop because I can't walk that long. I rarely cook, husband does that too.
I feel like I have lost myself and I'm no longer a person :(
Can someone please share with me how you have bounced back from something like this.
I'm not over reacting, I have been chubby, but I was 260, and it didn't bother me. I'm 340 now after losing 15 lbs when I went off the medicine. I can't even clean without hurting.
