I have to take my meds with food......One problem about that......I may feel so inclined to skip a dose.......I am NOT hungry! Anyone else have to take their meds with food and have problems getting in the mood to wanna eat.....it is also after 9 at night when a person really shouldn't eat and I have to have a full stomach on my meds......I take Geodon.

I DON'T WANNA TAKE MY MEDS!

You know you have to take your meds! Would it be possible to shove a bagel down your throat? Or something tasty like cake or a bunch of cookies? Mmmm cookies, I miss those; not part of the bipolar diet though.

It doesn't have to be a pizza. How about a little bit of yogurt or some cottage cheese. Just a small amount of something. You really need to take your meds but you don't have to stuff yourself.

Is there something else you are feeling about your meds besides just not wanting to eat? Why dont you WANT to take them?

I guess I am just tired of having to rely on a pill to keep me stable.....I am getting bored with being mostly stable......I guess I just don't wanna have to take them anymore, and I am not hungry......

Well a few crackers are sufficient....please remember how bad you were just a short while ago and how aweful you felt. I know stability isnt all it is cracked up to be, but I will trade it in a minute for depression and anxiety or even dysphoria. Dysphoria is the absolute worst. It is easy to forget when we feel good.

Acceptance is the key sweetie.........acceptance that BP is a part of our life forever........just try to take them, close your eyes and plug your nose, LOL....you can do it. Hugs

Take your meds, they're good for you. Eat a banana or something.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
