Hello darling, and NO, you are NOT screwed or otherwise. I'm now 55 and suffer Borderline Personality Disorder, as I have for the last 30 plus years ~ a lifetime of suffering to be honest. I also used to be very tiny, tho it wasn't at all ''natural'', I often starved to stay thin. I was also anorexic often and was admitted to the Psych Unit often. Not just anorexia but bulimia and binge/purge also. I didn't care, all I wanted was to be thin. People used to admire me as I was tiny! Boy, I'd give ANYTHING to be that size again!! After over 30 years my metabolisim is completely messed up, consequently my weight is higher that it was AND I'm on Seroquel. As you said, you ''look'' ''normal'' and nobody would ever know there was anything wrong. However YOU feel bad, and so do I at my weight. Dunno what that is, maybe 86llbs but I'm only 4' 11" now. I so do feel for you as I totally UNDERSTAND how you feel. BUT, Seroquel really really helps me and I can't stop taking it, I just have to live with it really. I hope you don't feel so alone now.
