I know I need to post this in the health and fitness section, but I wanted to check with you guys.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO STAY FIT AND THIN (relatively) AND ALSO BE BIPOLAR??? With all these meds I take, my metabolism is shot. PLUS, when my episodes are flared up, I don't give a crap about how I look or what I eat.

I just feel like giving up on trying to lose weight. I used to be a pro at it: I lost 70 lbs and was doing great. Then I had med changes, mood swings, blah blah blah.... gained most of it back. I'm feeling pretty down and hopeless about the whole thing.

Any success stories about controlling your weight on all these meds plus with episodes?

Thanks!
