Good things

[butirfli]

The psychiatrist thing was very good. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD and alcoholism.
I agree with them all. 
We're treating each part separately and taking steps, first it's the bipolar.
I am now taking geodon, which is working well for having been 3 days.
The doctor gave me a TON of samples so that I wouldn't have to pay for a

Bethie, you're too thin :(. Did you talk to the psychiatrist about your eating issues? I'm glad he seemed good. Geodon is a good med--to the best of my knowledge, it's the only atypical antipsychotic that is weight-neutral, and a lot of bipolar people benefit from being on an atypical antipsychotic as well as a mood stabilizer. I take Geodon (called Zeldox in Canada), but for off-label purposes.

I like your yellow bird! Good luck on quitting the alcohol!

I still don't understand way EVERYONE feels they MUST comment on your weight. God forbid you take care of yourself and eat right and exercise. haha But I guess here in America you have to be at least 199 lbs to be normal and healthy.

I'm glad your meds are working <333

healthy and emaciated-looking are two entirely seperate things.

if one more person mentions beth's weight i'm going to lose my shit.

commenting on weight to someone with eating issues, whether you say they're thin or skinny or just right or emaciated or ANYTHING, ANY comment, is counterproductive. it is not helpful. it makes things worse. compliments and concerns alike. stop it.

hey beth!
i haven't been commenting lately, but i just wanted to let you know that i've been thinking of you, and reading these, and love you dearly, and i think your hair looks fantastic, and i like your bird, and i'm hopeful/happy about your new meds and new outlook on life, and i love hearing about genius aisy, and <3333.

Thank you so much, Thealove. I've missed you <3

Thanks for the forewarning! I'm super nervous about not drinking, but it's totally gotten out of hand and has had an awful impact on my personal relationships, as well as my relation to myself. I'm hoping I'll feel better when I'm out of the alcohol fog :]
I saw Dr.Farmer, he's in Oviedo and expensive as all hell...but I guess that's what you get for psychiatric care.

so, i know bethanie doesn't have the best eating habits (who the fuck does with such a fast paced society, and with not having a shit ton of money) but has anyone taken into consideration the fact that she's sucking her stomach in and posed in ways that make her appear waifish thin when she's more like normal thin? just saying.

i hope you have fun on your road trip.

i miss you. things have been sort of fucked up in my life for the past week and a half, but they're getting better... i wish i woulda crashed in otown with you instead of lakeland (however, lakeland did have its upsides) but you don't need anymore crap thrown on you right now, so i didn't...

oh well. i'm getting my check soon. when i do, you need to find a way to visit me so i can buy you and aisy some new clothes. :) she's growing and you're shrinking, and, well, clothes need to be had.

sigh. did i mention that i miss you?
