I just went back and re-read the posts, so I can answer some of the questions you are asking. I don't think I am bi-polar, I have taken those self quizes and don't fit the type at all, but we will find out when I see my new pdoc in Jan. It will be interesting, I know there's something going on that's just not being diagnosed....I thing the rest of my family also suspects that. Is is possible to be bipolar and not have the usual symptoms? When I took the test on Physc. Central the Borderline Personality test fit me like a glove. It was FREAKY. Who knows.
Bridgey, you are correct, beging overwieght does make one depressed...I have been there twice in my life, and DO NOT, want to go there agian. It's a sad place where self-esteem has vanished, and digging yourself out of the hole seems much harder than staying there. Once you're out, you never want to go back, especially if you have worked to rise above it. Many things contribute to becoming depressed, some are medical and some come our own experiences. I feel that when I can help myself, I should do the most that I can, and went that's exhausted, then maybe a doctor can step and pick up the slack. We shall see.....the depression hasn't been as bad lately, although I don't know why? I'm trying to figure out that puzzle. For now, I will just keep doing what I am doing, and checking in with you wonderful people on this board for some great advice. -L
