Thanks for your kindness, but I never said I just got out of the hospital from a heart attack. I had the heart attack SEVERAL months ago.
I know what I am doing with meds. I also know that I am killing myself with an eating disorder, yet I cannot stop.
But don't worry about me, really. And no, you did not offend me at all.

I want you to take good care of yourself, even though it may be difficult to accept taking a medication that *may* cause weight gain/edema, even though such a medication that may help you think more clearly, and feel better about yourself in the long run.

Try to keep your body healthy, and remember that your sensitivity to various chemicals and drug-interactions may change with body weight/body fat percentage and all kinds of hormonal/immune system conditions. So, listen to your body, and if you feel yourself getting ill, please go to the hospital or contact your doctor/s.

I also wish you a safe and gentle recovery from your heart attack. That must have been scary. I hope I haven't offended you. I really do care about your well-being (even though I don't know you. Funny huh?)
