I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 5 yrs ago. I have lost my job 9/4/09 from as I called it a mental breakdown, so has been very hard. I have a fairly new psych. that has me on a new medication "Neurontin", I have a eating disorder also I have a fear of choking on solid foods, this past episode with it lasted over a yr. until He put me on Neurotin, I am back to eating.
