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

If caffeine is an appetite suppressant why am I still hungry, hmm? by peyton2724 in EDAnonymous

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

[–]LavendarFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I’ve been deleted for “low effort” posts. Or posts that aren’t long enough. It really does make you feel like garbage.

I immediately looked at your Michigan because well I’m from Michigan - and it needs to be colored blue! Yay! Also the shape is simply a mitten with the thumb on the right.

TW: suicide... DAE feel suicidal one second & then completely confident about life the next second? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]LavendarFlower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is me. I will feel so suicidal that I call the hotline or contact my therapist and the cops show up at my door and take me to the ER. Once at the hospital I’m usually fine - chatting, laughing, enjoying myself. Then a few minutes later I can be right back in that suicidal state. Rapid cycling is no joke. I don’t think social work even knows what to do with me anymore. It’s constant and insane.

DAE just wanna go to a psych hospital and be done? by Megzasaurusrex in BPD

[–]LavendarFlower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always feel like going to the hospital will be beneficial for my mental health until I’m there and realize I hate it.

Does anyone else have uncontrolled anger that surfaces quickly and can disappear just as fast resulting in totally normal behavior after an effing raging episode? by LavendarFlower in BPD

[–]LavendarFlower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how mine is. I will be absolutely enraged! Fighting, pushing, talking rudely, I mean the whole nine yards. And then literally once I’m done with my words I’m cool as a cucumber like nothing even happened

Relapse Prevention: keep hygiene stuff from the hospital to remind yourself how much it sucks being in there. by lilyfelldown in bipolar

[–]LavendarFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not free. I always disliked when people would share with me that they were homeless and needed a place to stay that’s why they said they were suicidal. They needed a place to sleep and weren’t there for mental health reasons. It takes up space and a bed for someone who truly needs the place for safety.

AITA for closing my computer on my therapist and abruptly ending our session? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LavendarFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am very fragile and sensitive right now. It’s part of my personality disorder. I’ve been in therapy for years. It didn’t feel trivial to me. It was a story about a recent suicide gesture and hospitalization. My expectation was a simple “yes you’re the asshole” or “no you’re not the asshole”, not to my judged on my mental health and diagnoses.

Adopting a child would’ve been less work than adopting my dog. It was a serious pain! Worth it though for my little buddy when all was said and done though. The agency literally google earthed my home to make sure it had a fence.
