Looking for friends

Options
Hi, I'm Addie. I have bipolar II, and am a returning member of MFP. I'd love some new friends so we can support each other. Sometimes, other people with mental illness are the only ones who understand. Thanks!

    I don't know what I have one doctor years back said I had borderline personality disorder and another doctor most recently said I have PTSD. So I'm not sure exactly I think it just shows people have character no big deal. It be nice to check in with people who kinda get it.

    Hi Addie and others!
    I have been diagnosed with bipolar for over 10 years. ( I am 36.) I have been on numerous medications, trying to find the right cocktail and that has contributed to my weight gain. I would love to be friends with someone that shares with me the same roller coaster ride we go on. I have over 50 lbs to lose. My current meds are Geodon, Paxil, and Ativan as needed.
    Please send me a friend request!

    Hi everyone. I'm more than willing to accept requests from people who have 'been there'. :)

    My doctors are still trying to decide whether I have Bipolar II or cyclothymia. It's a roller coaster just waiting for them to make up their mind there... In any case, they suspect one or the other.Look forward to meeting others. Don't be afraid to send me a request.

    I'm Bipolar 1 and have gained about 100lbs due to Depakote ER and Seroquel. I'm on kind of high doses to keep me stable. Most of my life I was underweight with an eating disorder. I'd like to lose a few lbs in a healthy diet/exercise way. Would love some friends as I'm new to mfp.
