Hey there… well, I’d like to start posting again… not sure if anyone will read, or check back. My main concern in the last few months has been, well, anonymity. My previous header is a very common name that I use all over the place and recently I’ve become concerned with keeping my stuff out of the reach of my workplace. As a professional, posting bits about my internal machinations, braindumps, insecurities, issues etc is unwise.
SO.. hopefully my prev. name doesn’t come up on any google sites, tho it looks like since I’ve never advertised it, its not!
My new header, craisytraine is pretty much where I’ve been lately. On it, trying to get off it, medicating it (prescriptions all legal!) and learning to get a grip on it and decide where I want it to go. To be perfectly frank, I’ve finally been diagnosed bi-polar. MAN did it take a long time to figure that out. I thought it was depression, as did my therapist, but she finally sent me to a specialist after using everything in her bag of tricks and he nailed it. Its low grade, but enough to mess with my life. I think and my therp thinks that if I’d been diagnosed long before I had my WLS, that maybe I wouldn’t have needed it in the 1st place. At least my drug of choice was food, and not something more self-destructive.
So here I am, fighting the good fight again. My food thing is still a work in progress. I’m done with the extremes of no sugar, no flour, all low carb, Atkins etc. I’m taking it day by day and slowly getting back in to working out.
Y’all let me know how you are doing, I’m going to hunt everyone down now *grin*
