Health issues - recovery
So I don’t know if I’m looking for an advice or just to vent … I have been in recovery for 2.5 years (I’m a F and almost 40 y.o.). Gained enormous amount of weight in recovery and now my BMI is in the obese range. But that’s not even the biggest issue … the biggest issue is that I just went for my annual check up and ALL of my bloodwork is worse than it was a year ago. I now have high blood pressure, even higher cholesterol (than it was a year ago), higher A1C. And that’s despite the fact that I’ve been regularly going to gym and lifting heavy. And just for context: I was pretty slim my entire life and never had any abnormal bloodwork before).
Boy do I feel lost 😭 … my doctor is concerned about my health and recommends that I go on GLP-1s. I just don’t know how to reconcile everything that I’ve been told by mental health professionals… I thought recovery was supposed to make us feel better, I thought that this was supposed to improve my health … ugh so frustrating. Any advice or recommendation would be greatly appreciated. 😔
