I know a lot of us here deal with more than just bipolar. What other illnesses do you deal with? I have anxiety/panic disorder, PTSD, and an eating disorder (anorexia with overexercise) on the mental health side and fibromyalgia and ulcer issues on the health side. Just the bipolar alone is overwhelming, not to mention the other stuff. Sometimes, I feel like a walking billboard for mental health issues...sigh.

Right now Bipolar is the only psych thing on paper, but I'm sure when I switch psychiatrists the label will change as it always does. I do struggle with attachment stuff, attention/concentration, unstable...everything (personality, relationships, emotions outside of mania/depression, etc), rage, nightmares, insomnia, and dissociation.
I have scoliosis and asthma too. |

A general foggy head that has not clear in years; currently doing all sorts of tests with neuro. ADHD. Arthritis is currently at bay; but I never know when i might get a flare. Sleep apnea, though I just did a take home monitor to see if I still require the CPAP after losing over 60 pounds (probably will also make arthritis flare up less often).

Bipolar I, Anxiety, OCD, IBS (although I think this one just means 'my stomach is messed up a lot' and the dr. can't provide another diagnosis.

On paper? Bipolar, Anxiety, and PTSD. The latter likely contributed to the bipolar depression and the anxiety. I have also taken a test for OCD which indicates that diagnosis too. Whichever way you look at it though it all makes sense that they are intertwined.

Bipolar 1 or 2, dep which pdoc (I’ve consulted 4)
C-PTSD—I’m trying EMDR therapy now and hope to abolish this one. I have a problem with internet addiction. My doc told me I had symptoms of anorexia when I overexercised and fat free vegan dieted until I lost @120 lbs (I struggled with extreme fatigue, unable to walk up a small incline for 6 blocks), couldn’t concentrate (would miss on ramp I used everyday), and couldn’t get warm no matter what (double sweats in summer didn’t help). Or overeating. My weight is never stable. Meds make it much worse. |

The mental health stuff is on my sig.
Physically: obesity, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and a couple of fancy words for neck and lower back pain. I just have a lot of boo-boos. |

I struggle with new people. Messy places. Unorganized spots. Busy crowds. Loud noises. Unorginization. Pretty much anything but home.
