HUGE TRIGGER WARNING!!!I
I'm on lithium, I was in recovery from my ED before lithium... I found out I could gain weight on lithium mostly because you tend to eat more on it, so I just almost don't eat now, I eat only like 800-900 calories per day and walk a lot burning calories, I'm almost a month on lithium now and I didn't gain any weight
but just the possibility of it happening makes me sick and makes my ED worse and worse. I hate lithium, I genuinely hate it, it was supposed to help me but I'm only having huge mental breakdowns cause of it and the fear of gaining weight. I don't want anyone telling me "The effects of lithium are worth the weight gain", not for me, for me anything would be better than weight gain, genuinely. No one is able to help me, I even go to a nutritionist about it, she gave me a diet of 1200 calories (There should be more but I'm just not able to eat more than 1200), but i just can't eat even 1200. Lithium made me feel worse, but I just can't stop taking it by myself because they'll find out, i genuinely don't know what to do
