Anybody know what this could be or is it me being super stupid?!
Question: Anybody know what this could be or is it me being super stupid?
Basically I go through periods of being okay, then I start getting paranoid for no reason, start having thoughts of harming my self and others, i get suspicious, self harm, get really down and stay in all the time, take overdoses and just cry basically I feel bad but 100000x worse.
Then i'll have a happy moment and be really happy and want to do everything then I go back to being down, basically my moods are just never normal. I'm sick to death of it.
I thought I used to hear voices a few years back but it was like in my head sort of thing but then as time went on and I was on meds I was doubting them and now I don't have them but other day I had like screaming in my head and i'm not sure what that was :S
I do get a bit of support but not alot. And basically always think of suicide.
Oh and ive been told that there is nothing wrong with me but I just dont think normal people experience this. Maybe its just me being a teenager.
Anyone know anything about this, gone through similar or any advice?
Thanks.xo
Answers:
I am not qualified to diagnose but the symptoms sound like borderline personality disorder. This can only be diagnosed above the age of 18. Please do NOT take this as any kind of medical advice or diagnosis - it is not. I cannot stress that enough.
You need to make an appointment with your GP to discuss how you feel.
It does have a few of the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, but for ANY proper diagnosis you have to visit a professional. So forget about your family doctor and go see a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Your mental health is crucial for happiness, so go and find out for sure with a professional
Good luck and try not to cut, it may give you some relief, but you know it does not make you happy!
