Hello guys. I'm new, so please be kind. Does Schizoid personality disorder blunt emotions to the point that the sufferer can't feel anything for their relatives both first degree and other degree? To explain the situation, when my father was dying, I didn't feel anything. When my relatives on his side started dying, I couldn't feel anything.

Have any of you had experience with that? Bear in mind, I have had traumatic experiences from childhood ...

my own parent ruined me. all her manipulation. it was all lies, all lies.
she would wail after dad died n make a drama. like a fool me and brother at different times would rush to pharmacy to get some sleeping pill for her.
i would rush home from office, from meeting with friends after she'd wail on phone n do drama n act as if someone is tormenting her.
it was all an act. ...

Hi, I have psychotic depression and I hate being medicated.

Recently it's gotten worse, where I feel like I'm not experiencing reality as it really is due to my medication. I always feel that actually, but it's just worse now.

Whenever I'm at my most desperate I usually feel the presence of angels but lately I have not felt them at all and I think the medication is numbing me down and blinding me to ...

Sometimes when I dissociate, my personality changes and I feel like somebody else. I have a few different people inside me. But a lot of the time I don't completely lose my memory. It is POOR and very hazy/foggy when I come out of it ans return to myself, but I CAN and often do remember things even when I switch. Maybe not everything (I wouldn't know anyway if I can't remember) but some things ...

Hi

So an interview of someone who was origanaly diagnosed mpd like 40 years ago and is now diagnosed OSDD.

My name is Vance and I have started a business that helps veterans with PTSD and other mental health problems. One of the biggest issues veterans like myself and others, that have been through combat have always had issues laying Out everything for civilians to hear. Because of this I've come up with an innovative idea to work with psychiatrists and help the veterans through veterans get to the place they need to be. I ...

My on/off gf of last 2 years died three weeks ago. She had been Fentanyl addict before we dated, but was not using at the time. While we dated, she sometimes used other things (coke, weaker opiates) and sometimes I approved of it as keeping her from anything harder, sometimes I disapproved.

A few times, she relapsed. She'd be out of contact for a couple days, later admit she had gotten some Fentanyl & relapsed. ...

As a host, I am admittedly rather domineering and I do not take pleasure in letting things stand as they are. I recognize that I could channel this into actually making progress on healing, but I struggle with letting my parts express themselves as they are and always seem to disrupt any progress I make. When I start to work on something new, I end up destroying it. Even if I don't, someone else does. ...

Hi,

So I'm currently hospitalised and will soon be (end of the month) seen by a DID specialist to confirm my psychiatrist's hypothesis of a complex dissociative disorder (we're thinking partial DID).

Meanwhile I happened to be hospitalised and even here I don't feel / am not safe.
I'm frustrated because the team knows I have this dx/dx suspicion BUT they know next to nothing about the diag itself and are not helpful to help ...
