hi there, my name is tracey. im bipolar (I) and i help out on a funfair. im the big lady in the yellow hook a duck that is always shouting, and the bubbly woman who makes a joke of my weight. well now, im fed up of making jokes and its time to get serious. i take quetiapine, which sadly has a side effect of weight gain and the side effect of my anti depressants is weight gain too, and on top of that i have type 2 diabetes and an underactive thyroid.
im gonna take things slowly and sort my life out, hopefully with your help too.

  • Hi Tracey.

    About me:
    Name: Carina
    Nationality: Danish
    Age: 35
    Family: A 9-year old son, my boyfriend aged 36 and our 3 cats.
    Diagnosis: Bipolar Type 2 and thyroidism (sideeffect from medication).
    Medicin: Eat loads and loads of medicin; 6 different types on a daily basis and more than 6 different types when needed
    Weight: Gained 25 kg. As many as 5 kinds of my medicine has weight-gain as sideeffects - great, just what I need!

    I would like to be Your diet buddy. My goal is to loose at least 10 kg - hopefully 15 kg.

    How active are you in Your everyday-life? Which restrictions do Your illness cause on a daily basis?

    Looking forewards to Your reply.

    Carina

    P.S. Sorry for my English - long time since I went to school.

    I lost weight last year and want to lose some more (including some I gained).

    At times it is a breeze, and other times it is a push.

    I dont know what the deal is with my head - just trying to make the most out of what I got.

    Send me a friend request if you want.
