ok kids..dont try this at home....

back in february the relationship i was in ended(will post this seperate)....it threw me in a state of depression even i have not been in before...in less then 4 weeks i lost 60 lbs....i couldnt eat....its not that i didnt want to but every time i tried to take a bite it made me sick....i got back and started eating again...it wasnt much...3 bites would fill me up....my situation started going pretty good and i was slowly starting to eat again...well it turned for the worst again and now i am back to where i cant eat again...i have lost another 30 lbs...i have my doc worried....he changed my meds and it has slowly helped...but not much....

for those that dont know...i am bipolar manic depressant....i have far more downs then ups...i also have adult ADHD.....and also am schitzophrenic.....i have very bad anxiety attacks and cant go to public places like the grocery store and walmart....not to mention the massive OCDs that i have....yall are the first to know about all my disorders cause i dont believe yall will judge me on it like most do....

Oh Butterfly, I had no idea. *HUGS* I can't even begin to fathom how this combination affects you. You didn't mention this, but are you also doing talk therapy in addition to meds?

Talking is always good. I sort of understand some of what you are going through butterfly. My office manager's daughter has bipolar disorder and it has literally taken her years to get it under control enough to function. heart heart

That sounds awfully tough butterfly. I'm so sorry. sad We're here to listen when you get a chance to write it out.

I agree with Rue and fawN. We are here to listen and offer what support we can. Mental health disorders are not easy things to live with, I'm so sorry to hear yours is so difficult.

that is just it...granted i struggled with it...but for the most part i was doing ok on my own...but when martin left us i lost it....it got pretty bad....i HAD to go and get help...

its hard...especially when you cant get out and go anywhere...or when i have a bad mood swing.....those are the worst...
