> I don't really get why everyone gets mad when I undereat but not when I overeat. Isn't overeating just as bad?
You can probably die much more quickly by undereating rather than overeating. It's called starvation. Nobody is suggesting that you choose between being fat or being dead. There is usually a middle ground of moderation and common sense.
How do you make people unmad? Perhaps this is not to be your concern at this juncture. I think people would be much happier to see you take care of yourself responsibly rather than seeing you constantly screaming alarms of hurt and doom by destroying yourself with your own hands. I think your decision making process sucks. This is, in large part, the result of the dysfunctional influences exerted by the biological counterparts of your mental illness. You need to be treated both pharmacologically and psychotherapeutically.
For me, it is indeed maddening to see you forgo medical expertise and common sense in favor of the self-mutilation of your mind and body. Yes, it does get old. Sorry.
You need help. There are professionals who have been educated and trained to help you. Have you concluded that you are more adept at treating yourself than they are? Is procrastination a problem? Low energy? How do you account for not going to doctors and playing with your medications?

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
