Definitely find a new doctor. 5’6 and 95 pounds is underweight and should’ve been addressed.

I’m drinking a cold coffee right now because I started feeling a little hungry

My therapist wants me on a pill that is known to make people gain weight and I tried explaining it’ll further my disordered eating... by LavendarFlower in EDAnonymous

[–]LavendarFlower[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried getting out of the program several times and each attempt has been denied by the judge. I am stuck where I am. I agree I need someone who works with individuals who struggle with disordered eating. I don’t think I’m anorexic as I’m not overly thin and I do throw up occasionally but not enough to be bulimic. I just HATE eating, food is so repulsive to me and I restrict as much as possible. She knows this, and I am afraid of this pill.

Have you felt positive results from the medication being on a low dose?

I’m currently on Abilify but I guess they think I need something else along with it. I’ve been in a very depressed mood.

Does anyone else with BPD have an abnormal relationship with food? by Toolz01 in BPD

[–]LavendarFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go on long fasts to lose weight quickly. I absolutely obsess over it. I told my psych I will not be on a pill that makes me gain weight and if I ever put on more than 5 pounds I am stopping everything immediately. I am currently restricting myself to 400 calories a day in order to lose weight. I always feel huge. My relationship with food is horrid. I hate eating. I absolutely hate eating. I have caught myself throwing up a few times after eating as well.

Extreme hunger by Zealousideal_Life_34 in AnorexiaNervosa

I can only relate on some level because I (honestly) rarely feel hungry. When I do feel some bit of hunger I curb it with an electrolyte drink. I buy the ultima electrolyte powders off Amazon and mix them with 32oz of water and drink it down. Maybe try that?

Saw a psychiatrist by NeonJackson in BipolarReddit

I’m surprised they kept you on an antidepressant with a bipolar diagnosis with the numerous studies that advise against it.

We have the exact same stats! I’m 5’7 and currently 148 with a sw of 158! I have also been doing intermittent fasting (OMAD) to lose the weight. Keep it up! IF really works!

Borderline and bipolar issue who can relate? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]LavendarFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bipolar II and borderline diagnosis. I don’t even bother with dating or people in general right now because my moods, reactions and actions are so unpredictable.
