Life Out of Order Because of My Disorder: Addicted to Pregnancy (12x85)

Exibido em:: Jan 21, 2014

Liz and Chris say that their four-year marriage is on the verge of divorce because of Liz’s many addictions and illnesses. Liz admits that she struggles with multiple disorders — including OCD, bipolar, anxiety and panic disorders — and has jumped from one addiction to another since she was a teenager, including alcohol, cigarettes, prescription drugs, collecting pets and, currently, trying to get pregnant. Liz has four young children, two of them with Chris, and says that she’s had multiple miscarriages since getting married. Despite the health risks, she insists that she doesn’t think she’ll ever stop wanting to have more kids — because she only feels fulfilled when she’s pregnant or caring for a baby. Chris says that he’s willing to do almost anything to make Liz happy, but the stress of living with her is taking a toll, so much so that he says he threatens divorce weekly. Dr. Phil weighs in — what does he think is driving Liz’s addictions? Can she finally get the help she needs — and get her marriage back on track? Then, Sydney says that certain sounds, smells and ways that people touch her irritate her so much that she has to keep her distance from her fiancé, Michael, and their two children. She says she can’t sleep in the same bed as Michael, share meals with her family or even cuddle with her children — and it breaks her heart. With a third baby on the way, how can Sydney overcome her extreme sensitivities?
