Ughhhhhh so bleeping irritating! I’m furious about how damaging she could be to those who are on antidepressants/might be considering taking them and seeing her post as if weight gain is the worst thing and it’s lazy not to track your calories when you’re struggling to make it through the day.
She posted on her story before that she was taking mirtazipine (I take the same so it stuck in my head) which has one of the most common side effects as weight gain, it’s not bleeping laziness Louise. The hunger that I experienced at the beginning of taking them was nothing I had ever experienced, I felt like my stomach was starving whilst I was eating and needed something more but before that I was so depressed that I wasn’t sleeping or eating and hadn’t felt anything at all for months on end. The tablets also make you extremely tired at the beginning whilst you’re settling in so for me extra movement was out of the question. I’m thankful to this day for those tablets, side effects and all, that stopped me from doing something stupid.
I gained 2/3 stone in short amount of time, and then lost it over time and I can not imagine using that time in my life to sell a product/app/anything and not just being thankful to be actually making it through the days, nor can I imagine if any “influencer” tried to sell me a quick fix of how I could just track what I was eating and counter the side effects and shrug off as if those tablets that were very much saving my life were an enemy and I should be focused on anything other getting used to the medication and making it through the day.
Sorry for the rant I’m just disgusted that she could live through that and mark it as laziness, to anyone else that’s on antidepressants that have caused weight gain either directly or indirectly, you’re doing just fine! Weight gain isn’t the enemy, you’re not lazy, getting through the day is priority and screw a stupid app that’s just another task to remember!
Ridiculous that she doesn’t see her own current house (house in London?!?) as something. Interestingly I think it shows again how different her and Grrryan envisaged futures are, him posting the other week about wanting a countryside future for him and Leo and her now posting how boohoo her luck is and she wants a property like this still in the city.
