Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Lately I've been thinking about making a change to my appearance. I always run away from situations either by moving away, cutting ties, or changing my appearance. I used to get different haircuts and change my wardrobe about every six months. I haven't done that in a while. I am thinking about cutting my hair short (emo), making it darker and adding some red highlights to it. I also want to get a couple of tattoos (I already have two of them) and maybe a piercing in my nose. If I had some money I would get a complete mommy makeover with a boob job. My husband isn't too happy with this decision but it would make me feel better.
Has anyone ever given themselves a complete makeover? How did it affect your family and friends?

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...
Not to rain on your parade but I would ask myself if I was overly manic or overly depressed befor making changes. As you said you use this as a way to get away and hide/change. My friend went for some tats and some priecings and I know she is manic even thougth she wont admit even being bp (she is classic)
Hair is one thing you can always change back or fix. Updates to your wardrobe doesnt have to mean a new you. You are perfect the way you are. Self improvement needs to be seen as just that. Maybe you husband loves you just as you are and you should take that as a compliment. Talk to him and tell him you need a change and see what he would like to. Include him in the change and maybe it will make some sparks for you both.
As for the boob job IM right there with you :P only I want less not more and perky ;p (TMI)
i could use one too!
Wearing a funny hat works wonders.
