I've always been fairly skinny. Never happy with my weight, but pretty thin. I've suffered w severe depression my whole life which escalated earlier this year when I attempted suicide. I do not live at home, I live in another country. My boyfriend, who intervened on my suicide attempt, made me go to the doctor, who put me on a new medication. The medication worked amazingly, however there's a catch. The medication can (and has) caused weight gain. My diet hasn't changed but I've put on quite a bit of weight. Still nowhere near life threatening, but its very visible.
I am currently working at putting the pieces of my life back together (or really, find them in the first place, as I feel like I'm starting life from scratch) Every day is spent trying to get a placement for the course to get onto a career or even just applying for jobs. I also perform housewife duties as my boyfriend works every day. I eat what I want as I'm still fragile and want to take everything one step at a time.
However. Earlier this year I went back home for a funeral and my parents were ashamed at my weight gain. They told me I had to fix it. They said they almost didn't want me to go to the funeral (which I flew home for) because of it. That was about 4 months ago and I've not been home since. Stupidly I decided to go home for Christmas. In 2 weeks I have to fly back for them to see I am still equally as fat. I had started going to the gym 3 times a week, but that quickly ended when I got huge guilt about doing anything that wasn't looking for work.
I just got off the phone to my father who warned me that I better have lost the weight or there will be hell to pay at Christmas. I again explained about the medication and birth control combo that makes it very difficult, but he told me I was lying.
Basically how do I get through christmas at home with my parents constantly telling me what a fat fuck I am and how they don't want me to be seen by anyone?
