Update

Hi,
I have spoken to my care co-ordinator, seems like I wont be able to see anybody about my possible Bipolar for about 2 weeks

I don't really know what to do at the moment, I'm finding it quite hard to cope and nobody seems to be taking me seriously.

I was also told that even if I am bipolar, because I am underweight, I will not be put on any meds for it, is this true?

Thanks
Amy

hi amz,

a sense that we aren't be taken seriously is more a bpd feeling than a bipolar feeling if that makes sense. (not disputing that bipolars aren't taken seriously though).

where I am coming from is "labels schmabels". Your symptoms and how you feel matters much more than what diagnoses you might have.

mood stabilisers will probably be helpful for your symptoms regardless of what your diagnosis. It is just a worry about whether your recovering anorexia lets you take what you need to take in order to get so much better. Mood stabilisers help so much with severe depression.

keep eating well, sleeping well, not doing too much exercise, meditating and relying on your own resources. you are stronger than what you feel atm.

cheers,
