Hi there everyone, I'm new to this group.
I've been using the MFP app for about a year, but very sporadically. I thought that by logging on to the website, I could find some support to help me stay on track!
I have borderline personality disorder and chronic pain from a genetic disorder that have led to some poor choices in my life. I struggle with EDs and an addictive personality that really affect my body. My weight fluctuates with my mood and what addictions are predominant. I have been on and off of medications but have always found that the medications tend to have terrible side effects and that the weight gain is more harmful to my conditions than the medications were ever helpful, and so now I try holistic approaches to wellness.
It was a mild depression that led me back on to MFP and I am hoping that I can keep with it and lose this weight that keeps bringing me down.
If I can be any support or help to any of you, feel free to add me as a friend!

    A belated Welcome to MFP!

    In my military medical records, there was a writing of whether or not I was of the 'borderline personality disorder' but after some civilian testing, they "determined" I'm bipolar. Which *kind* of bipolar - I have no idea, as they never told me. My hubby agrees that I'm bipolar though, so I'm like, "Okay, whatever." And I take my meds and try not to be annoying or mean-spirited :laugh:

    Addictive personality runs on my dad's side of the family...hard core...and of course I take after my dad's side of the family...woo :indifferent:

    Anyhoo, if you need a motivator/'cheerleader'/kick in the butt, feel free to add me as a friend and I'll try not to "mother hen"...too much :wink:
