Hah... sounds like a fun combination, doesn't it?
Anyway, hello all... I thought I would introduce myself to this new support group (I have used 3FC many times before and I've jumped around to different groups, but I always end up dropping the ball on posting when I get depressed/stuff my face. SO my name is Sarah Jane, and I have bipolar disorder, which I take medication for (Lamictal), but I supplement the pills with Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream (because this is the true key to stability).
That's the reason I'm here... I'm hoping that with some support I will be able to stop using junk food as a band-aid for my problems. Things have been a lot better for me lately... I got out of a very destructive relationship, took some time to myself, and then met a guy who I am wild about, and we have been dating for a few months. Yet still, my weight is climbing at an alarming rate... I actually lost 60 pounds over a span of about 3 1/2 years, and hit my goal weight around February of last year (that weight is my current goal once again). Since then, I have put on 20+ pounds.
Anyway, I'll hopefully get back on track with some support. Just wanted to pop in and give my story... also, is anyone else on this forum bipolar, or is it mostly just depression?

Hello from a bipolar compulsive overeater
I agree.
