my brain is hanging upside down

One week into my Zoloft. It won't start working until about 3 weeks in. I've had insomnia all week and feel rather... floaty. Also, I am feeling some concern about the possibility for weight gain on antidepressants. I am un-chubby for the first time since I was in 7th grade and I worked hard for it.

Also, I am feeling some concern about the possibility for weight gain on antidepressants. I am un-chubby for the first time since I was in 7th grade and I worked hard for it. I do not want to be chubby again. So hopefully I will not gain weight.
Oh, I know what you mean. I've been chubby since I was 12 and was it the whole time I went to school - then I had a 4 months break and simply could relax (and do some sports lol).
But I recognize, everytime I get stressed I eat more than normal. And especially sweets like chocolate >_> I've already gained a lot of weight over Christmas and now I have to look that I won't gain too much anymore...
And about the antidepressants: They're monsters. Well, pretty every kind of medication happens to do this. At least every kind I tried... D:

That otome game looks/sounds pretty awesome o.o

Even though I am not chubby now, I am very sensitive to people making fun of or ridiculing others for being overweight because I have been there and I know what it is like. I also know I have the capacity to be chubby again. The nurse I talked to said that weight gain on Zoloft is caused by happier, less anxious people eating more, but I am skeptical. Seems like a lot of people would turn to food less for comfort and lose weight. But she also said that it is silly to stop a medication based on side effects that haven't occurred yet and to just keep close track of my weight. If I start to gain, then I can talk about options.

So I hope I stay fit. I will do my best. But, like you, I have a weakness for chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. Mmmm...

There are so many otome games I want, including Starry Sky. I also want La Corda d'Oro, HaruToki, Hiiro no Kakera, Alice in the Country of Hearts, and on and on...

That's true. You should keep taking it and if the effects are too strong it's still early enough to talk about other medication, etc.
And people making fun of overweight people are very, very low.

Chocolate~ > 3
