I can see how some people with BP can lean towards Anorexia. When I have anxiety, I can't help but puke at least 1x a day and food is just not my friend. When I'm manic I forget to eat, but when I do eat I indulge BIG TIME!! Then when I'm depressed I don't have an appetite and food will make me nauseus. It's not like I'm thinking "I want to stay skinny." it's just the way my body reacts to my moods.

I do know of some girls that are BP and have either bulimia or anorexia because they feel like since something is wrong mentally, they need to outshine with their slim bodies. (which also goes hand in hand with the hypersexuality) ...

I guess from just what I've experienced and what I've seen with BP friends, I guess it can develop because of BP but not connected medically. It's not like if you're BP you will have an eating disorder ....

Do I make sense? I hope I do ...
