Goes to a thread I created last night and I have gotten seriously beat down as a result. The understanding of BPD just isn't as widespread as it should be... perhaps you guys could have some insight on what I'm going through.

EDIT:

Okay.. so here's everything from there... I'll ...

Hi,

I have been hospitalised with a psychosis one year and a half ago. Before that I had mood problems (a couple depressions and one manic episode just before and during the psychosis). This is why my psychiatrist thought that I had schizoaffective disorder. Because I am young (21 years old) the diagnosis is not certain yet, could also be manic depression but they thought it is schizoaffective disorder. I am now on 1000 mg ...

I'm not asking for a diagnosis, just if I seem dissociative or schizophrenic to you.

Ever since I was a child I was bullied at school, when I was bullied and I would pretend like I was someone else and it helped a lot. It got deeper and more serious when the "personality" changes switched in random situations, my other personality that was confident and could handle bullies had her own name, background, and details. ...

I can't free myself from the feeling that it's something with ME that make guys devalue me. It hurts so much, and I really need to find out what it is and do what I can to turn this around...

Boyfriend 1 - whom I started dating when I was 18 and he 21:
- Shy loner type, always knew best, would ridicule others. Suspicious, "morally superior", chauvinistic. (I was like a needy puppy - ...

I got prescribed Zoloft for 3 months, and it didn't do ANYTHING. Now I got prescribed Lexapro and I'm not even taking it... :| If anyone here has good things to say about Lexapro treating social anxiety then I'll change my mind heh.

I have some alprazolam (Xanax) and they are good at reducing anxiety, like I will lose the ability to feel anxious (no increased heart ...

Hi,

I am very tired of being wrongly diagnosed with almost every disorder in psychiatric books, so I would like to hear the opinions of people who are indeed schizoid about whether or not the core description fits me.

I lack almost all emotions. I fake them for the sole benefit of making my life easier, and this tires me to no end. I care very little for my family, and not at all for ...

The father of my child visits him every now and then, he insists on making my son touch a boiling hot cup of coffee to teach him hot. We constantly argue over this and I'm wondering if anyone else see's this as child abuse or is it just me? I know it's not as serious as other matters but would like to know people's thoughts.

So I did a personality test with my psychologist. My score for narcissism was off the charts, she explained some of the traits expected and we went through the list identifying which were present in my personality, there were many. I duly came home and googled narcissism. I recognised many of the descriptions of behaviour patterns and personality traits that were described online as well. Where I kept getting stuck though was empathy, almost every ...

:( Hi everybody,
i'm Anne, and i'm 18. I don't know what's wrong with me... I feel so strange, and depressed, IDK what I should do, I have no one to talk to, i have no friends, it's like i'm all alone in this world, i never tried to find some help, i feel worthless, and I'm longing to leave this world... forever. I have suicidal thoughts, ...

I'm trying to find a new med that will help in relieving anxiety. I'm currently on clonazepam and lorazepam but I end up taking like 4mg of each a day which I know is way to much. I know that antidepressants are really good at relieving anxiety so I was wondering whether anyone had any reccommendations. What your experiences were with your treatment with an antidepressant and how it helped you. I've been on cipralex(lexapro), ...
