I'm Alix, an 18 year old girl, and new to MFP. I am a honors physics major at my university, and triple minoring in education, maths, and communications. I am also an activist in the atheist, intactivist, feminist, and gay/transgendered rights movements, and an aspiring astrophysicist and political activist. I am also diagnosed with schizophrenia, BED, BPD, kleptomania, and mild OCD. I am a slew of crazy. I need support both for my weight loss and my mental health, so I decided to join MFP. Hopefully I'll be able to manage both of these things with help from this site.

Hi Alix! Wow, seems like you have a lot on your plate right now. I think you're crazy, but for reasons completely unrelated to your mental health! This is a great site, and also I really like this group in particular because we can be completely open about things that we may otherwise keep bottled up. Good luck! 0

Welcome to MFP and the support group Alix! You really do have a lot going on in your life! Despite all of your diagnoses, you are doing so many remarkable things! I believe you'll be able to do this too, and I'm happy to help anyway I can.
This is a really great site/group. You have a good support system

Hi Alix.
I am making inroads in both areas. If you are as passionate about atheism, etc. our beliefs directly conflict. That said, I am happy to support you with the weight loss and mental health.
Our beliefs are our strength, so I don't think we need to go there anyway (I do occasionally, but only on my profile and 'what worked for me' - can't help telling someone if they ask).
Concentrate on improving in the areas that you are weak is my advice.
I wish you well whatever you do.0 -
Hi Alix, I'm diagnosed with schizophrenia also. I'm not happy you have this illness but I am happy to find someone with the same illness as me on here.
