i have been in a deficit for almost 5 weeks this week and i have been SO tired. i’ve been waking up early but become exhausted around 8am and stay tired the whole day. i do drink 200mg of caffeine too and it doesn’t seem to help. half in the morning and half in the afternoon. am i tired because i’m in a deficit or is something else going on?

i don’t have a picture i forgot to take one so just take my word. i ordered a triple cheeseburger with no bun no pickle. they put my patties on a bed of lettuce. did not ask for that and it was an online order. is this a common thing? my mom says they do that when you order no bun.

i wish they would make a cotton candy flavored “pop” that doesn’t have as much caffeine and comes in a 12 pack of normal pop cans. i would buy that immediately and drink them as a treat.

i just had an appointment this week (second appointment with her) and she asked me how my pain was with fibromyalgia. i never told her i had fibromyalgia, just extreme body pain. did she diagnose me and not tell me or was this a misspoken diagnosis?

also, there isn’t a patient portal for where i go, so i can’t look up my diagnosis. i go purely off what my therapist and psych say.

i’m seeing everyone on tiktok saying they lost their appetite since taking wellbutrin and i WISH i would have that side affect ! i’m considered obese and definitely still have an appetite LOL

i was diagnosed about 4 months ago and i have never checked my blood sugar. should i be doing this or is it not really necessary? i feel like i know when it drops or is too high by how i feel so i can gauge what to eat and when to eat it. lmk what you guys think or if i should just ask my doctor.

Edit: thanks everyone! i have asked my doctor to send in a prescription for one.

i don’t know if i have a food addiction, i don’t know if that has to be diagnosed, but i do love food and think about it almost all day.

i’ve been told by two important people in my life i talk about food too much and i was just wondering how can i stop? also how do you know when it’s appropriate to talk about food and when it’s not?

thanks in advance

*do not tell me to break up with him, this isn’t a huge deal just something that upsets me*

hello everyone, i have a problem with my boyfriend. i’ll just start with how the conversation went.

me: my therapist said i was probably hypomanic last week

him: okay

he didn’t say anything necessarily wrong, but the fact he didn’t ask questions or show interest really made me sad.

i brought that up to him and he says he’s just not interested in the topic of mental health. which is fair but i feel like discussing MY mental health is a little different from just discussing different disorders and the affects of them.

am i asking too much of him or am i being reasonable? my mother says he might be tired of hearing about me talk about it and just shuts it down whenever brought up.

let me know what you guys think.

i had therapy today and i was feeling extremely good this past week and i thought it was the medicine.

but talking with her we came to the conclusion that i am probably in a hypomanic state or at least was. oh well! it’s better than being in a fully manic state.

when I was younger, I would self harm, but I don’t have any scars well none that you can see obviously. Whenever I’m cold, you can see them on my right arm where I did them, but nobody really notices them unless I point it out which I never do.

I feel as if a lot of times people look at me in my appearance and think there’s nothing wrong with me physically or mentally. And these assumptions cause people to not really believe me whenever I talk about my struggles.

I wouldn’t say I’m jealous of people who have obvious scars, I would say I’m jealous of people who have people who believe that they are struggling or at least used to. also, when I was younger, I had anorexia, but I wasn’t on a deathbed so no one really knew and no one really noticed that I wasn’t eating.

i’ve recovered from that now though. I don’t know really what the point of this post is maybe just to rant but yeah, I’m tired of people assuming that I’m completely OK and I should be able to function like a normal person.

does anyone have what i call food kicks? i don’t know if it’s a symptom of bipolar or just a normal human experience. once i try a food i really like or retry again, i will want it for my next meal until i am tired of it. right now i am on a butter chicken kick i’ve had it three times so far. let me know if any of you experience this too or if you think it’s just a natural experience everyone goes through!

when i was manic i would take a lot of videos and pictures of different things on snapchat and seeing them now i can’t hardly even watch them. watched one fully today and it was me talking about something really traumatic that i thought happened to me but turned out it didn’t happen OUT LOUD in a GAS STATION. like wtf was wrong with me?! and i was smiling and kinda laughing about it ??? the media i have from that time is just so disturbing and cringey and i just cannot stand to listen or see it. does anyone else feel this way?

TW: weight mention (not specific weight amount)

hello, i was once diagnosed with anorexia when i was a teenager (now recovered). i don’t know much about eating disorders since i was never told i have anorexia, they just put it in my chart and i found out years later. i knew i did have an eating disorder of sorts because someone did tell me that i had an unspecified one so it’s not like it came out of nowhere. but i’m trying to lose weight (i’m at an unhealthy weight genuinely) but not fall back into eating disorder patterns. what can i do to prevent this but also lose weight at the same time? also something i struggle with a lot now is food noise so if anyone has any suggestions for that please lmk!

also, i have type 2 diabetes so i think i could get on GLP 1 for my diabetes and i’ve heard that helps with food noise.
