Ignore her; that's my only advise to you here.


Ignore me?

^ Boo was telling me to ignore someone else's comments.
I don't think he was suggesting that I should ignore you.
I wouldn't take his advice if he was, anyway. :ninja:

I take the same, like with any medication it comes with side effects, weight gain plus a few other unwanted changes are a trade off for a type of health and freedom that I value much more.

Besides, we all age and physical beauty fades, men/women that can only appreciate something transient probably aren't the best types to listen to when it comes to your self image.

I just started taking 100mg of Zoloft. I used to take 50mg. I'm very worried about gaining even more weight than I already have. Please don't say talk to your doctor because I've tried to.

What if I get too fat to wear women's clothes? If I wear men's clothes I won't be a true woman. I'll be hideous. No one will love me.

I need to be a stereotype to be happy.

My ex girlfriend isn't a stereotypical Hollywood beauty either, but I still saw her as the most amazing human being in the world. Not every guy is looking for a movie star to go out with. :wink:

A woman has value other than her ability to please men. To my understanding the OP's problem is not a result of her appearance, but of the roles society avails to women.


The role society avails to women is more mixed up and confused and as concussed as a piece of lettuce and a wheelbarrow. There is and should be no role, even when having a child, you don't go to some understudy club for advice or pay a cousellor the same recognition.
I wouldn't be trying that stuff anyway, zoloft probably does have negative side effects as all anti-depressants do.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not talking about acting roles.

Well aren't you special. The pesky side effects of not committing suicide and becoming functional are such a bother.

Suicide can be pesky, too.
