bipolar and eating disorders ?
Posted: 06-16-07 09:03am

I am on a bit of a knife edge at the moment and was looking for an opinion before i see my doctors again. I have bipolar disorder and have suffered from eating disorders for many years. I don't know who i am. I feel there is something that i never tell my doctors for fear of total abandonment. If i tell them the way my mind works they will send me away and take everything away from me. I know how to work people, i know how to manipulate and say what needs to be said. This worries me even more now. There is something that i can't access, i'm thinking i actually don't exist - nobody does, not here, somewhere else. There is also the thing that drives me absolutely crazy-i always have 'one' person, i go out way out of my way to get their attention and i hate, REALLY hate to know they have children or give attention to someone else. Then i move on, i never see that person again, in fact i can't, they make me writhe. I move onto the next. I can construct anything i want to. I think i may have caused the bipolar diagnoses so now i don't take my meds. I am dreadfully depressed but i have to know who i really am. does this sound like normal bipolar?

Hey Katie

Don't work yourself into a frenzy.

No one is perfect!

Try to relax and concentrate on the here and now. What ever that may be; give it your all!

Don't try to explain something (to your Doctor)you don't understand yourself! Slow down.

Be happy and thankful, always! We could be somewhere else! Not as compromising and without the internet! Not to mention the basics that we as mankind are so used to.

And some of us, yes, always try to please people. Something to do with our parents and the way "we" were raised. There's nothing wrong with that, I think, don't you?

Hang in there!

Iam bp and hate it. I am also a good person and deserve to be happy one second at a time. You are a bp person that needs validation and acceptance. accept it you cannot change it and the longer you fight against it you will hurt inside more intensly. which in my opinion we as bp's are addicted to that intense feeling - makes us feel less invisible. If you now know this is who you are find ways to give yourself that validation find many different kinds of ways to boost yourself up when your down and ways to bring yourself down when your up. I reapeat things like mantras so that I can thru the swinging moods. I am a rapid cycler so I am overwhlemed daily I hope this helps. God help us.
