    • About Me

      Hi. I'm 20 years old, and trying to recover from bulimia and to grapple with the fact that I may have bipolar. I developed the eating disorder my first year of college. I had been overweight all through childhood and high school; however, during my senior year, I made a few small diet and excercize changes, and began to lose weight. Soon, though, I became obsessed with weight loss, and then the eating disorder crept in. Eventually I went on zoloft to help me combat the bulimia, but the medicine threw me into a manic episode, for which I had to hospitalized. I am now taking time off from school to recover. Firstly, tt's hard to be away from school- I miss my friends, and my work, and I'm also ashamed at having to take time off. Secondly, the mania may be a sign of bipolar, so I am having to come to terms with that. For now, I'm taking medicines that have caused me to gain a lot of weight, but I'm doing my best to learn lessons, and beat the binge/purge cycle.

      it is hard to beat an eating disorder. I have a problem with binge eating and over eating. I lost over 40 lbs last year and by the end of the year I gained 20 lbs back. I have a goal to lose 30 lbs by the end of july 2008. I think I can get to it or get close to it. I would love to support you and be ur friend. Let me know if u want to talk.
