Bipolar and personality disorders

Hi,

I am new to this particular forum. I have been diagnosed as bipolar for years, but I think my case might be complicated by possible personality disorders and I was just wondering if anyone else struggles with this and how it relates/affects bipolar or vice versa.

I fit most of the criteria for avoidant/schizoid personality. I have been bipolar for AGES, but also have never enjoyed being around people and like to be by ...

Bipolar and AvPD/SPD

I'm just curious if anyone has a dual diagnosis of bipolar and schizoid or avoidant personality disorder. I have both, but when I am on an upswing (hypomania) the majority of my social fears disappear. It doesn't mean I want to spend more time with people (schizoid side), but most people take me for an extrovert - I don't have the anxiety about interacting with other people and I don't worry or care what people ...

Misdiagnosis

I think I've been misdiagnosed with bipolar and I don’t know what to do. I don't feel like (or think that) I have this disorder whatsoever, nor did I when I was diagnosed 6 months ago. I am not experiencing any bipolar-like symptoms and I don’t feel like anyone is helping me.

Since I was diagnosed, I’ve felt trapped: like I’m in a bad movie and I can’t get out of it. I know of ...

Is This A Panic Attack? Help

Hello, my name is Aaron, I'm 18 and I live in northern Alabama. Since i was in the 6th grade I've had problems in crowds. I would get angry, and I'd feel like I had to get out no matter what. The older I got, I'd say around 10th grade it got to where at times I couldn't breath when I had these feelings. I went to the Mental Institute locally and talked to a ...

the beginning of the end..

Hi, I'm new here but I need to share my experiences. My mom, who is incidentally my BEST friend, has been dealing with brain and lung cancer for the past 8 years. They initally gave her 4 yrs, so she's definitely been beating all the odds. However, it has recurred in her lungs. She went through radiation, which focused on a certain spot. Turns out it has spread and now she has it in both ...

Writing

Writing

I'm trying to find the words
To describe what's happening
It's not easy
It's not hard
It's weird

Writing has been easier than living
Living has always been harder than writing
It's just a pen
And a piece of paper

To live...I need courage
I need to be tough
I must forget the insults
I can't be selfish

To write I can be anything
Anybody,and be anywhere
I can fly more then my dreams ...

Other Sites re DID Where one can chat or post messages

While I find this site to be a very good one, lately, there doesn't seem to be much "action". I would really appreciate it if others could direct me to other DID message boards or chatlines that they have found helpfu. Thanks
