However, as I gained weight, as it became less and less obvious that I had an eating disorder, I felt lost. I clung to the ED for so long, it WAS my identity. I thought of myself as (usually) the skinniest person in the room and that everyone noticed me because of that, and wasn't that just great? Gaining weight meant having to re-examine and regain a life for myself. I had to decide just what my identity was if I wasn't going to be the person with anorexia. I came to realize I wanted to leave a legacy as a good wife, good mother, great friend, good sister & loving aunt. I realized I had more facets to myself than just my eating disorder. I took up old hobbies I hadn't done for years, like doing latchhook or putting together jigsaw puzzles. But it WAS hard. Losing the eating disorder felt like losing my identity. I think that is part of the reason I clung to the ED as long as I did; it certainly wasn't because it made me happy, that's for sure. |

I'm diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar 1 type. I also have rather severe OCD. At times I meet the criteria for OSFED but not at the moment.

Not entirely sure as my
Pdoc and psyd disagree. Pdoc says bp 1 w/ psychotic features, PTSD, panic disorder and bpd. Psyd says schizoaffective bp type and PTSD.

Hi,
I am new. Posted here a long time ago maybe. Second time back. My psydoc writes BP II. Hard to know. Like 25 years ago in my early 20s I took my first med, Prozac and had a manic episode. Then I was diagnosed BP I but maybe the meds caused it. I never had a full blown manic episode since but I have had a few hypomanic ones. My psychologists haven't seen any mania recently. I don't even know if I'm depressed. I have anxiety. I'm on the forums to learn how to deal with my utter exhaustion which I think is partially med induced. |
