What is your diagnosis? Do you have other compulsions, impulse issues?

I will go first:

dx- bipolar/borderline

I also have trichotillomania (hair pulling) and compulsive spending.

[Suki22]

depression, anxiety, ptsd I'm on 30mg Celexa, occassional Xanax, Mirtazapine for sleep.

self diagnosed issues I want to work on: smoking, emotional eating, weight problems (overweight), self-esteem issues

I'm going to go for EMDR therapy starting this week. I'm hoping that getting my PSTD under control will help with my other issues.

Bipolar I, BPD and a bunch of other stuff. I was in remission for eating disorder but it is back.

[Chompers]

bipolar 2, anxiety, & who knows what else is going on, they were evaluating me for borderline personality disorder but i haven't heard anything else about it.

i am a binge eater & a sugar addict. sugar is like crack to me, & i have actually smoked crack. but i only did that once, so i guess sugar is much, much worse than crack to me. i eat for all sorts of reasons, but especially when i'm sad or stressed. i found myself wishing the other day anything in my life made me as happy as food does. lots of stuff used to make me happy, but i have been down for so long now, it seems like food is all the comfort i have left. sometimes when i eat i think to myself "i just want to eat myself to death" & if i could physically do it i would eat till i exploded.

i try to do better, & when i am on an even keel i eat better & exercise, but when i get manic or depressed it all goes out the window. my habit building is in a constant state of being built up & knocked back down, mostly being knocked down. every time i have to rebuild there's an added layer of failure to dig through.

Chompers, I started loving sugar, too, about two years ago. I cannot have tea (which I love) without sugar, and I used to drink any amount of tea without sugar without a problem. I now use Xylitol which is just as sweet (tastes even better for me), but is good for your teeth , low Glycemic Index (good for Bipolar), and has moderately fewer (40% less) calories than sugar. I buy mine from a company called EPIC. The dental benefit was convincing for me - sugar itself is bad for your teeth and here you have something as sweet but good for the teeth - magic!

Not to be too off-topic by xylitol is great for teeth--just don't let your dogs near it--it is highly toxic to dogs but not cats for some reason.
