I hope you can find some solutions!

Hi Anika, would you mind sharing with me some coping tips?... I'm always open to new ideas.
Just a hunch, but if you have a metabolic problem with meds, wouldn't that indicate that the anorexia may have damaged your liver/kidneys? Only lithium is metabolised via the kidneys. I have trouble with that too. How about you?
How do you go preventing the PTSD kicking off the bipolar? I take Seroquel when I feel the adrenalin rush and I take valium to help suppress the night terrors when they are really bad. We all have different symptoms and different ways of dealing with them.
Thank you to everyone for there replies and warm welcome. I appreciate it.
