I'm scared it's all coming back
Hey everyone. I've been off mounjaro now since January, and even before that I had been spacing out my doses because I was going to quit my job in November and wanted to have my stock last as long as possible. I don't regret quitting that job, the mental health stress was going to send me to an early grave, but losing my mounjaro access hurt me physically and emotionally. I went from 330 pounds in 2022, started taking mj in 2024 at 307, then made it all the way to 192 when I stopped in November 2025. I had type 2 with an a1c level at 8.5 that was just now confirmed at 5.6 last week. Mounjaro made me healthy again, mounjaro helped me with my confidence and helped me fall in love.
But the weight has come back so strong. The food noise is unbearable and I can't stop myself now. I've got a new office job after months working in retail and being able to get my steps in. I've gained 30 pounds in over 3 months. And I thought it would be so easy to get back on mounjaro with having insurance again, but nope. They won't cover it again, because I'm healthier and healed from my type 2. I worry that I'm going to keep going up in weight, and insurance will only cover me again when I get back to my original weight, when I get diabetes back again. My closet is going to have to be replaced again after I had spent so much and so long updating it. I failed myself because I don't have control without mounjaro.
Sorry for the rant, I just didn't know where else to go. I just got off the phone with insurance and am crying in the bathroom wishing I could go back to when I was happy.
