Question: Do you think i am depressed or i could possible have avoidant / borderline personality disorder!?
I grew up in a home of neglect and abuse and in foster care also!. I was heavily depressed a few years ago but I am able to prevent myself from falling into the downward spiral!. Still, I have this constant feeling or worthlessness and outrageous mood swings that affect my everyday life at work, (sometime I will spend the morning crying my eyes out because I have convinced myself no one likes me!)!. I have listed some of my traits below and would like some of your views as to whether you think I am battling my depression or whether it might be a personality disorder!? I guess I want to blame my actions of something and to be sure before I suggest it to my doctor, because I don

From what you have said here there is not much evidence of personality disorder, though you do (understandably) have some serious trust issues!. People with personality disorder usually can't see anything wrong with themselves and feel that other people cause their problems!.
You do have some strong depressive traits and it's probable that you have learnt manipulative behaviour as a way of coping with your upbringing!. But I wouldn't suggest labeling personality disorder unless there was more evidence of the PD typical behaviour!.
You need to talk over your feelings with your doc anyway, and get some counselling support!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

You sound like an adult who was abused as a kid!. Adult depression is common!. Very low self-esteem is common!. Huge trust issues are common!. Post-trauma can be there, too!. Yes, talk to your doc and explain all!. My suggestion, strong suggestion, is to not just get an antidepressant, but to find a therapist who specializes in the area!. Look for one that you believe you could grow to trust and then stick with it for a few years so that you can deal with the past while gaining a positive experience!. There's much to overcome and living the rest of your life fundementally believing everyone will hurt you is not experiencing life to its fullest!.
No, it doesn't sound like you have a personality disorder, just the aftermath of being abused!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not a MD so I couldn't or wouldn't try to give a diagnosis but i will say that i do understand some of the feelings you have towards the world and people because I have felt that way at times myself!. One of the best things you can do is get some professional help if you haven't done so already!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
