 Carmen, what a healthy way to look at yourself! You are so right.

Pixie, don't worry about the weight, happiness comes first.

Somedays it's not worth chewing through the restraints!

 Just make sure dear Pixie, you don't start worrying about the side effect bridges before you even get to them, you will set yourself up for failure, not everyone has the weight gain ok? there are many meds out there that don't even list that one...give the meds your doctors give you a chance, if there is any weight gain with them, think of it this way, you will be able to get out of the house and exercise.. you will have the energy to cook and eat healthier.. your being stable and happy takes priority over anything..

 good point.I think it is still really hard for me to give it up. I have protected myself for a while with this and now I feel like I'm not safe. It's scary.

 Stepping outside your comfort zone is always scary, but that is the only way we can grow and become better, for me my sobriety was like that, I felt it was like being hung out of a plane at 40,000 feet by a brother I would not trust with a rock.. but unless I took that step there was no way I would have healed, just do what you have to do to get better.. we can't reach the mountain top unless we travel through the valley.. your currently in the valley, now is the time to start climbing up to the top.
