Hello
I have been battling what I believe to be BPD for probably all my life. It has only been the last 4 or so years I have seriously realized I may have BPD or Bi-polar or combo. I have not been diagnosed for the simple fact that I cant afford medical expenses and obviously cant keep a job long enough to get benefits.
Anyway I have been wanting to change my eating habits for a while and now I am wondering if there are any links to bad eating and bpd or other mental health disorders.
I eat a lot of junk food. I mean a lot. I love patries and cookies and fried foods and just anything thats chocked full of fat and calories is what I love. I thankfully dont gain an ounce of weight. I have learned that what you eat affects your mood so I have to assume that it affects people with BPD either more or less severley.
I also wonder if some of the medications they may put me on would affect my weight? I have never had a problem and what if I get on meds and I gain weight. That would be so horrible for me. I have a bad self image as it is and women always tell me I look so great for having 4 kids, and I feel fat as a whale!
Another reason I dont go get diagnosed and thats cause I hate our system in USA and I dont believe in meds. The pharmaceutical companies are all about the bottom $$ and politics of it all. Makes me sick. So I dont know if I can be helped without meds but It would be great if I could be. I just dont want to be on them the rest of my life or have to deal with the effects of crashing if I dont take them, ect...

hi i have borderline personality dissorder, phychosis and depressive disorder. i live in england so fortunately i've never had to pay a penny for anything. the meds they put me on made me put on loads of weight i was really skinny and am now morbidly obese, and cannot lose the weight. and to be honest the tablets didnt really work i ended up taking 30 pills a day, but when i took a massive od and almost died they took me off everything the withdrawels were horendous but i am much better now. i am also a self harmer, but havnt cut in 6 months. you could try doing cbt, or dbt. it can be very effective for alot of people although i dont know if u have to pay where you are.
