Hi BB. Thanks for being a friend by responding. I needed a little caring from someone who is concerned about others instead of always self. I see so much of that on here. I'm sorry you don't have any friends either. I too have two sisters. One has spina bifeda and can't walk and I take care of her alot. The other is an active alcoholic in FL...so not close. My husband is supportive of MI because he has BP and Anxiety and Schizoaffective Disorder. I feel bad for you that your husband doesn't get it. Maybe a friends and family of MI group from NAMI in your area might help? Or he could try therapy with you?

My husband is also an addict in recovery, like me. Two months ago my Dr. gave me Adderall to break out of my depression and my husband took most of them and shot them up in the garage. I didn't know he was doing that. He had had a problem with it long before we married...we just married this June. So I can't have adderall around. It helped rip 7 ounds off me. It's great for dieting and for focus. I feel like getting some more and not telling him and hiding them bc I feel they help me.

My Mother is anorexic I think. Her own Mother was obese and in order not to be like her she has dieted her whole life. She eats like a bird, is 85, walks 4 miles a day and still plays tennis. She says you can never be too rich or too thin. That's her motto. She'd rather me be thin and off meds than well and chubby.
