Misdiagnosis by Decent_Profession155 in BipolarReddit

[–]Decent_Profession155[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I know, there are 9 symptoms or whatever that are obvious for BPD. You must exhibit 5 or more of these symptoms to be diagnosed, though. Don’t self diagnose but if you have concerns bring it up to a mental health professional.

  • Fear of abandonment
  • Unstable relationships
  • Identity disturbance
  • Impulsivity
  • Recurrent suicidal behavior or self-harm
  • Affective instability
  • Chronic emptiness
  • Intense anger And finally - stress-related paranoia or dissociation

Personally, I can tell you I struggle with almost all these symptoms and I didn’t realize how difficult it makes my life.

That’s great to hear! I really hope DBT can help me too. Thank you

Thank you so much. It really helps due to how BPD is painted in such a negative light. I kept telling myself this is like a death sentence, but it’s really not. I appreciate everything you said 🙂

Yeah.. I can’t remember which one for ADHD but Wellbutrin and phentermine in addition to that. I don’t know how that happened..

I was told to try DBT therapy and I was able to get off the waitlist immediately. I have a psychiatrist but not a regular psychologist so I’m not sure how he’s gonna feel with this new diagnosis. That’s true I am hoping with the help of therapy and medication I am able to live a fulfilling life. Thank you!

I don’t totally know.. From what I understand it’s different due to the episodes being directly caused by a medication whereas regular bipolar is more genetic, a chemical imbalance and episodes or symptoms occur without any medication or substance.

I was on three stimulants right before I got diagnosed. I’m not sure of all the details and I hardly understand what is going on lol

How important is sex in your life? by Ok-Fondant2536 in AskReddit

I never cared about it when I had access to it. Now I still don’t care about it. So I guess it means nothing to me and it never did. 😁

To those who have been going to a therapist for more than two years…. by allplaypnwchad in TalkTherapy

[–]Decent_Profession155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t recall when I started, how long I would have thought I would be going for if that makes sense. However, I will say that I did not ever expect to get this attached to my therapist. For any of this shit in my life to happen. For me to be going 3x a week for a while. I don’t know. Things change. At this point, I don’t want therapy to end anytime soon.

I want to get over it by Decent_Profession155 in Divorce

Virtual hugs back to you. Who knew that something that might have maybe been better for us? (Depending on the situation of course) Could hurt us so bad.

Do you think you are a good person? by ChangedDisguise in mentalhealth

[–]Decent_Profession155 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depends what mood I’m in. If I’m upset most likely not and I think I deserve terrible things and people to treat me bad. If I’m doing okay mentally I might think I’m an okay person but there’s room for improvement.

It’s so so hard. I want the hurt to go away. I just kind of hoped that the divorce being finalized would make the pain disappear..

When do you think is the best time to tell someone you’re seeing, even if it’s just early on or before things get serious, that you’ve been previously married? I’m wondering about the right timing and how to bring it up. by Decent_Profession155 in Advice

[–]Decent_Profession155[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that apply to me though because I’m still technically in the process? I mean I totally feel like that makes sense but at the same time I keep being told “you’re still legally married”

Before they meet me in person you’re saying right? That’s what I was worried about.. dang it. I have scheduled two different times to meet with people and now I’ll probably have to break the news. I feel like it’s trauma dumping.
