I think I'm in the down swing of bipolar again, and with that comes an intense hatred of myself, more so than usual.

I'm not sure if I want help for this, I just want to hate myself less. I suppose I'll eventually have to eat something small to be able to take my meds, but that's gonna have to wait.

I'm sorry you're feeling so rotten. I'm sure you're your own worst critic, and that no one else thinks badly of you. I glad you're considering eating a little with your meds. I hope you will start feeling better soon.

I've been struggling with food for about 5/6 years. I don't and never have taken anything to school/college and I NEVER eat breakfast. I only eat during the evenings.
What I have found useful over the years is to slowly and gradually wean yourself onto soft foods like yoghurt or half a peach, and then gradually start building up the amount of food you eat. That's helped me tremendously, and you can give yourself reward days too! My reward days are eating 100 calories or less or fasting for 24 hours. It's kept my weight mainly stable over the past year or so, and it's better when you have friends and the like to support you and encourage you to eat. Good luck, and questions, just PM me

Hope you don't postpone taking your meds because you haven't eaten or you will end up going on a downward spiral even more.

It's not easy to force one's self to take care when our mental health is taking us down a bad path....but we have to fight that & know what is the wise thing to do.
