Don't be disappointed sometimes it takes a while for the weight to start coming off

I don't eat much so without the zyprexa it's easier. I still struggle but it's not like it was. I quit nighttime snacking for the most part. And I drink tons of water. I really should exercise but I don't have it in me. I figure at 42 with 2 kids I deserve a little flab lol.

without the metformin I would probably be over 275 pounds or getting close to it lol. The diarrhea and not eating as much I lost 40 pounds and kept it off. If I want to lose weight I need to start working out or something. Maybe cut my food portions and my addition to sugar.

I was pre diabetic years ago and my doctor prescribed metformin. I had diarrhea from it and ended up going vegetarian because the fat was killing me. I thought I was the only one that was affected that way. I had to stop taking it though between that and being vegetarian I lost some weight.

Erti · Sep 01, 2017, 02:34 PM

According to my blood test was I am no longer pre diabetic. They haven't taken me off metformin or anything.

That's great news.
Maybe they figure with the meds you need the metformin.

I mean, I don't mind taking it. The diarrhea has stopped to the point now my stool is hard if you know what I mean.

It's the freakin' weekend! Got 3 days off now and get the keys to the house on monday!! Im feeling a bit better these past two days, hoping it was just a blip. So excited for moving. It will be my last week in my team at work next week though. Getting moved teams which is scary. Maybe it was stress that made me feel weird.
Anyway who cares!
Hope you all have a fab weekend

I went into the hospital 3 days later having tremors, twitches, and sweats and I hadn't slept in 3 days! They sent me home from the hospital saying to take my meds I said what meds? Then I came back the next day and they said I needed an injection so I basically left because I wasn't on any shots ! The next day after I was lead back into the hospital by the cops after they found me in near a homeless camp having a psychotic episode because being misdiagnosed with bpd. They said where was my meds I said look it up I have no meds they released me from the hospital with no meds check the psych records after I was in the seclusion room for 5 days because I was way out of it! They finally believed me and checked the records and I was right! Anyway the chief of the hospital had a hay day with my then pdoc!

My second pdoc diagnosed me with schizophrenia and psychosis and SAD and social anxiety.

My now third pdoc diagnosed me with PTSD and psychosis and anxiety but I am unsure of her even though I ask by name for her! I wish the first appointment was better received I was really Sui about almost two weeks ago and I went to the hospital and the pdoc that I was suppose to see later on in September was on call at the hospital she agreed to see me next morning! Anyways I tried to speak of the voices but it seemed she was in a one track mind. All she was concerned about the last time I saw my first pdoc ugh!

I was going to say I hated that label of bpd because it wasn't me at all because I was hearing voices within 3 months of my accident and told my first pdoc that after 2 years of being embarrassed and she just laughed at me, horrible I tell ya!

I had SSRI induced mania when I was 18. It was hard to get treatment even in the state I was in. How can they dismiss someone who was incoherent and wondering around the city? I lost my keys, some of my belongings, and about 20 pounds during that illness. I remember bits of what happened and some of the hallucinations I experienced. Apparently I faked all of it, because I had BPD. ****.

Did you find the BPD diagnosis traumatic? I did. I'm still getting over it. I found it to be a form of bullying, just like what I had experienced in high school. Humanity outside of my family was very nasty towards me, because I was different. The doctors would tell me that I was beyond help, and that I was just a waste of their time. No wonder I didn't respond to treatment.

I've given up on hospitals. I don't go to them for psychiatric help at all. All they did was judge me, and tell me that I would amount to nothing. I see a psychiatrist in the community, who has privileges. If I need hospitalization, she sets it up.

Apparently I had PTSD as well, due to sexual abuse, something I have never experienced. Dissociation (later determined to be due to lorazepam), and dysthymia (this one I don't dispute at all) were a few other labels I got.

This is what really pisses me off: The psychiatrists tried so hard to make me fit in that diagnosis. Half of my family is Cree, so a lot of doctors assumed that I grew up in alcoholism, abuse and poverty, because I resided in a First Nations community, before I moved to Ottawa. My family is stable. Both of my parents worked very good jobs. One has a degree and the other has a diploma. They very were wrong about that.

I grew up in an abusive home but it had nothing to do that my dad made top 1% in bc for wages we were well off! They tried to tell me that I was psychotic because of BPD I was like this is joke your hospital is a joke! I don't have this diagnosis wake up people!

This is how I feel about the medical community here...they attribute all my psychotic symptoms to BPD.

Basically any lady that presents to the emergency department with an OD, and/or self-injury (cutting), mentions anything about interpersonal troubles and claims to feel empty, usually gets this diagnosis after one brief assessment. The label then follows the patient even if it is a misdiagnosis. It is possible to request a correction to the health record as long as the physician agrees to it. The process is quite involved.

The treatment protocol for BPD is to avoid hospitalization. If it is required it must be short. Apparently it can cause regression. It is also thought that the psychotic symptoms come from stress (e.g., sleep deprivation), substance abuse, some psychiatric medications and trauma.

Good evening everyone, how's it going?

Hugs to everyone that needs them. <3

I'm doing okay. Tired. My phone is apparently on its way back to the Telia store after repairs, hopefully I can pick it up in the afternoon tomorrow.

Went out driving some more to the store.
