There were two periods in my life I was a bit plump or chubby, when I was a toddler and when I was in high school. When I showed my high school photos to my friends, they didn’t believe I was that fat. Most of my aunts are quite plump, so my family members always think I am like them too, I believed in that too.

When I was in high school, I…[Read more]

I had a gallbladder surgery removal too, 11 years ago.

Back then, I weighed 60kg for a 146cm height mom.

That is a short, plump POE for sure.

Then I kept having gastric pains, went to see doctor and he said I had gallstones not gastric pains.

My weight went down drastically from 60kg to 40kg because I had to watch my diet.

But it…[Read more]

I want to know what is bipolar disorder? I used to think I have it, I haven’t visiting a doctor and got myself check. What I know about bipolar disorder is that you have mood swings, but I haven’t had any information from the people who are experiencing it. I hope you able to share what happened to you and I would love to know about this.

@heroine I agree and sometimes not thinking about the food that you eat is the problem too.

@4cryingoutloud I am thinking getting older as we normally have slow metabolism but there is a home remedy to make it faster again.

@sunil good to know, I think with that size you are still thin and I hope you are healthy.

@JoDee  I do not believe that you can cure depression or anxiety, but it definitely can be controlled. There are many methods that people can use to decrease the severity of their depression and anxiety. A lot of people use meditation as one method to do this.

@Lola  I hope you are able to figure out what is making your anxiety worse and are a…[Read more]

I have bipolar disorder and one aspect of it is depression.  I take a medication to prevent this but I think it might be causing me too much anxiety, I may be coming off of it soon.

I’ll reply to my own thread and get things started here.  I’ve been very unstable the past week.  Friday night I was actually in the ER and almost admitted to psych unit.  VERY bad anxiety and impulsiveness.  I may be starting DBT therapy again soonish, am waiting to talk to my case manager about that Thursday when I see her.

@gautamdotcom It is good that you are still working for a major company, so you can slowly establish your freelance business without having much pressure. Hope you will be successful in your career and your own freelance business as well! 🙂

I try to stay away from doctors.  I think some times you get sick from the patients in the waiting room while you’re waiting to see the doctor!! lol

I fall in the sedentary group, as I have arthritis in my back.  All (or at least most of my fat) is in my stomach.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I also use to work outside the home as well.  Maybe it’s age too!!  I want to get a pedometer or fitbit to see how many steps I walk a day!!
