character assassination

Feb 26, 2006 02:32

I looked through my senior year book tonight. Bad idea. I had friends, I had guys who wanted to go out with me, I was skinny, I was captain of the High IQ team, I had a future, I was sane.

That was six years ago, and where am I now? College drop-out, 40 lbs overweight, scarred from all the cutting, and bipolar...it's like the pink elephant in ( Read more... )

Hi, I was reading your request to join chubbychicks and I just wanted to let you know that I am bipolar as well. if you are on lithium, I really feel bad for you. I refused it because of the weight gain. But if you ever wanted to talk about it, I would certainly be happy to.

I have been officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 6 years, but I had been dealing with all those special mental labels for 17 years.

Yeah, I'm on lithium. Have been for the past three years, and I think it's almost entirely responsible for my weight gain. I'm trying to gradually switch to Lamictal, but nothing works for me as well as lithium. Thanks for letting me join the community!

I am on Lamictal myself. I hated the way I felt on lithium and eventually refused to take it.

I don't like looking back on better times. I only feel worse.

BTW, you commented on a post of mine in depression. I checked out your profile and you seem cool so I added you (I hope you don't mind).
