I joined PC 9 years ago. It turns out I'm a type 2. I've been fairly stable for years on Seroquel. I'm a nurse, wife, and mother. My life has been really changing for the better.

Then why do I hate myself so much, I don't know. I'm man sized (six foot 1), and overweight. The self loathing and loneliness is killing me. What I wouldn't give to be little and cute and popular. I'm old (42) and ugly. I started losing weight and lost 15 pounds so far. I still loathe myself and feel like a loser. I guess I'm depressed.

I'm glad I came back and I hope I can be of help to all of you fine bipolar folk
