why is it that so many musicians are on the thin side? what is their magic stuff?
Well, here's the extent of it. I'm not thin any more by any stretch. I'm not exactly fat per say either. But for me I took ritalin in school because I was diagnosed incorrectly with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (though I really wasn't exactly hyper, I just broke rules because I felt and still do feel that adult institutions require strict adherence to rules they never tell you about). The ritalin made me not hungry, so I was thin as a rail and that continued on into my diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (which goes no further than that).
In 2008 I had a nervous breakdown from which I recovered and got switched around faster than you could shake your head on medications. One of them made me unable to read, and another one I was taking for a while called celexa flattened out my emotions and caused me to be almost endlessly hungry. I ate pretty well past what I had been eating before during meals and so went from 170 pounds or so to 225. For a person who is shy of six feet, that means I got a bit of a belly on me. I'm definitely happier now, but I don't think I'll ever be able to thin back down again, although I do go as low as 200 lbs. from time to time.
