Hi.  My therapist told me last Monday that she thought I was manic and I should ask my psychiatrist to do something about it.  He told me to reduce my anafranil.  I was afraid to do this, because I originally started taking it because I was having obsessive negative thoughts.  I was afraid that the thoughts would come back if I reduced the anafranil.  I believe I will kill myself if the thoughts come back.  My psychiatrist believes that reducing my anafranil will help bring me out of the mania.  I am still manic and now I've started acting on my negative thoughts.  I don't know what to do.  I feel so out of control.

Hello,

I am new to this web site and new to this group.  I have an eating disorder not otherwise specified that I have been struggling with for 9 years.  I am on the road to recovery.  I have recently gained some weight and gotten up to the goal weight where my therapist wants me to be.  I'm not feeling very good about my weight now.  The number on the scale seems way too high and I'm feeling fat.  I know some people say fat is not a feeling, but it feels like one to me now.  I'm not sure how to deal with this weight gain.  It just makes me feel awful about myself.  I feel like such a failure.
