Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

About seeing a therapist, I think that would just a waste of money in her case.
She's so used to lying for pity points to her audience and playing the blameless victim, always getting abused by others and life in general while being pure and righteous. And a therapist may realize what she's doing here, but won't be able to help if she's not honest with herself and doesn't even want any help.

Spoiler

Yep. A coworker of mine has a lot of the same "quirks" as AL. Morbidly obese, shitty parents, compulsive liar, entitled, obsessed with "haydurs", middle school drama despite being almost 30, weird sex hang ups that she publicly announces often, the same anxiety, the same depression diagnoses. The works, basically. She tells me that her therapist suggested she "punch everyone she doesn't like in the face" and her therapist suggested she "call every single person in her phonebook at least once a week to chat to build her support system"(call 30+ people/week to chat. While being an anxious, depressed person lol). Going to therapy has only made her double down her efforts to annoy the fuck out of everyone in her life.

Therapy only works if you're honest with yourself, honest with the therapist, and are going there to actually heal. If not, you get what I described above: no matter what the therapist says, it confirms their beliefs. It'll be a waste of money til GORL decides she wants to change for real.

Edit: clarity.

I agree! If you're not honest with your therapist, then they are helping the wrong thing. There is no way AL could be honest with a therapist, she isn't even honest with herself. It's kind of messed up because she would get so many more asspats if she opened up about herself and not put on this weird trolly persona. She loves Trisha Paytas, so she is stuck emulating Trisha, while at the same time she can't handle the same negative comments that Trisha gets. The newest video shows this, she has a group around her that enables her to believe that the haydors are out to get her and only want to knock her down. I would honestly love to see her turn around and do SOMETHING other than buy dvd's, bags, waxes, and water bottles.

Also, about her doctors visit. The doctor came in singing and being all happy go lucky?! Seriously, if I knew something was wrong with me and doctor came in tiptoeing around the problem and singing, I would visit a different doctor. That's a good way to act if you're treating toddlers, but full grown adults need to take responsibility for what they do to themselves. Something seems off.

I took wellbutrin for a year. The appetit surpressing effect is rather weak. You sweat even more than with other antidepressesants.
The seizure risk is low when you take the lower dose (when I took it, there were only two different doses available and prescribed), but alcohol is absolutely dangerous. Its really good in terms of fighting depression. But the effect of it wears of in some people rather fast (the appetit surpressing effect was gone within weeks), inclusive me, so I slowly changed to some other meds. Its btw helpful and in germany at least for some time prescribed as a "anti-smoking pill" since in many people it lowered the lust for tabac very drastic!

She posted on twitter there won't be a video till March 1st..a Thursday (weigh in days?), .could it be the 8 weigh ins she promised? Probably not since she was at Becky's family's house.

She made that retweet March is a new month to start over on weight loss. She's coming up with some new ideas to get more viewers since the New Year's wave is dwindling off. This doctor and therapy thing will last a month at the most but she will start making videos saying " a new start I went to the doctors haterz" "I'm going to do it this time" Gain some symphony and asspats. I just hope people don't fall for it and realize her acting for views. I'm not sure how much the doctors, therapy and medications will all cost (Walmart does have cheap generics tho)... but she dropped around $1,000 in January on junk she never used for props in "weight loss journey goals gorl videos". So all of this is just the same thing ... dropping money for profit in videos.

Then in April people will be asking "hey AL how is the therapy going? how are the meds working" and she'll say "haterz that's none of your buisness" Becky: "stop stirring the pot asking about AL's therapy"

I don't doubt that our gorl has put on weight since her last update, but 77 elbees would be a lot in such a short period of time, even for her. It's only been about a month.

"....it's not always going to go good."

Some people are so stupid they must need to be told when to breathe....

(Yes, I know that's not the focus. Its just hilarious.)

Do we know where "she said" came from? I agree, 77lbs is extreme even for her. 27lbs misheard maybe? But any figures she gives are suspect anyway, she seems to use arbitrary starting points as well as all her other obfuscations.

 

[SpokesBottom]

She claimed to got a blood test but how do you even find veins on people that size without fifteen minutes of trial and error?

 

[Can I get an Amen?]

I didn’t know much about Wellbutrin until our gorl was prescribed it. It really looks like the perfect medication for AL. Combined with therapy and an ounce of effort on her part, this could be a game changer.
But I’ve long since given up that optimism where AL is concerned.

 

[another day another binge]

lol I'm sure she didn't gain 77lb. she would not fit in any of her clothes anymore, this would be pretty visible. just a plot. I think she gained maybe 15-20 pounds.

 

[YeaNotSomuch]

Looks like she actually went to the doctor's office and weirdly narrated it:

Makes sense why she's putting so many ads in her videos, she'll be paying a good bit for all those tests.

Congratulations Amber, after months, maybe years of comments pleading with you to get your pets and yourself healthcare you finally did it. Yay you.

Hopefully she will take the Wellburtin in some cases it helps with weight loss by acting as an appetite suppressor. If she doesn't have insurance that medication is going to be expensive as hell. Even with insurance it is expensive as hell. I was give a prescription for it several years ago after undergoing a bit of depression and I have insurance. I stopped taking them after the first week because the side effects were too much. Also, drinking booze while taking Wellburtin is not recommended.

I have doubts about Amber sticking with therapy. Do regular doctors prescribe depression medication? I thought you had to see a psychiatrist, but I don't know.

Yes, Internal Medicine (General Practitioner) can prescribe depression medication. Several years ago, I was seeing a Weight Management doctor and she prescribed Wellburtin mine was for depression. The medication works two-fold antidepressant and weight loss.

I want to think this will be a game changer as well but she goes through these cycles all of the time and starting and quitting things. I think it's just something to get more views.

wellbutrin is now in combination with a drug called Naltrexone for weight loss. Maybe the doctor will prescribe it to her if she does well on wellbutrin alone. If she actually takes it it might work for her since maybe she has the brain chemistry of her drug addict parents.

ya. I'm guessing she's over 500lb now, but 77 lb is quite the stretch.

 

[CC 855]

I’m going to be honest: I only pretend I like Becky because it annoys Amber.

Mood.

 

[hotcheetospuffs]

Lol. OK, Amber. School those haterz.

It wasn't even a snarky correction! They were polite in pointing out she had made a mistake and she's such a bitch back.

Without a doubt the best thing about watching AL is watching her ruin any positive ties she has with her supporters. She's so obsessed with the haters that she doesn't see when people are genuinely trying to help. It's a beautiful act of self sabotage.

I wouldn’t worry about the expense - it’s avaiable as generic for the equivalent of one novelty mug/water bottle and a few pieces of Walmart jewelry.

 

[EH 110]

I know this is autistic of me, but has anyone noticed that Amber spells her dog's name "Twinkie" sometimes and "Twinky" other times?

 

[another day another binge]

I think she spells a lot of words quite....creatively

 

[Rotogravure]

Quite honestly, I don't get why she doesn't get ACA. She very likely makes under the minimums where she'd get the deductions, and therefore basically get some of the cheaper plans for free. Sure, not all prescription drugs are covered on the lower plans -- I don't know what Kentucky's ACA is like at all -- sadly it doesn't look like she has a Sam's Club or Costco very near her -- they have cheap prescriptions even if you aren't a member. Even without those, she's still being ridiculous not getting insurance. But we all knew that, we all keep rehashing it because it's bizarre that a grown adult who has the means to pay at least 100 dollars a month for minimal insurance literally will not.
