Not sure if right place to post...


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if I have BDD, maybe not because I already have OCD and would rather not have another problem, no thanks.

I used to have a super long list of physical features that I wanted to fix. I despise any hair on my body as an example of one thing.

But whatever. Now this may not be BDD or just me being insecure but I don't know where else to post this since I frequent this site a lot and I am feeling insecure.

I got put on an antidepressant type drug by the name of Remeron almost a month ago. I sort of like it cause it's good for sleeping and getting rid of stomach pains but I am a bit unsure if it has helped me for anxiety. I'm afraid to get off it and realize it was actually helping me or something.

This drug causes a lot of weight gain in people and taking it I have gained some weight cause it's an appetite stimulant, I hear the weight is impossible to loose while on the drug itself also. I feel really uncomfortable about my body now.

All the weight has deposited itself in my problem area, my stomach which I used to obsess over constantly. I never and could never develop an eating disorder but I did obsess a lot over how big my stomach was or how I wanted it to be flatter.

I feel really sad and awkward in my own skin now. I have stomach rolls now when I sit and even stand I bulge out a bit and it just gets me down.

It doesn't help that my mom makes some comments on it from time to time, tells me I'm getting bigger.

Idk I just wanted to vent someplace sorry if this really doesn't match this category.

Hi Nicolette.It does seem that you have self esteem problems and body image problems .Have you ever tried to work out your body mass index.If it's right then it seems that these feelings are because of a body image problem.If it's outside then maybe try not to worry about it and try to take regular exercise and eat healthy things.Is there another antidepressant you could take maybe?I take Sertraline and it has no effect on my appetite.Maybe that might work for you.If your weight is right then you should get help to overcome the psychological problems you would seem to be having by going to your doc and getting some councelling.I hope you feel better soon
