Should i be worried or am i over reacting?!
Question: Should i be worried or am i over reacting!?
I have been seeing mental health team for a year but they have only said i am suffering with depression, low self esteem and anxiety but i am starting to think there is something else going on!.
I have very bad mood swings
I can get very angry at people and sometimes i hate people but the next moment i will be fine
I get attached to certain people who i become obsessed with and want to be just like them which means i want to change my career all the time because i end up wanting to be like them
I get very paranoid and convince myself that everyone hates me
If something goes wrong i end up thinking that is the end of the world so i become suicidal which happens a lot
I see people as bad or good and once i make my mind up it is very hard to change it
I see myself as very bad
I self harm
I hate rejection and will not trust people unless i have an attachment at the time
My moods are the worse when i go into a low it is bad and can last for a very long time duing this time i do not care about anything, i will be rude to people, i just don't care i am angry at everyone!.
I have been assessed for bipolar which i didn't have so i know it is not that so does anyone have any suggestions!? I know you are not doctors i am just wanting opinions Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's called borderline personality disorder! I went through exactly what you are now when it came to the doctors not having specific diagnosis, it was depression, anxiety, paranoia, and then bipolar!.!.!.I was sick of no one knowing for sure, made me feel more unstable!. Finally I came across an amazing therapist who introduced to me to Borderline personality disorder!.!.!.it is not commonly diagnosed because it is a fairly recently recognized disorder and many doctors are afraid to diagnose it!. once I was educated about this disorder and finally able to put a name to what was wrong with me all these years, I was able to overcome it!
Here are the symptoms:(they say if you have 5 or more of these symptoms you are borderline)
Number 1 is self injury, whether it is cutting or suicide attempts
2!. makes desperate attempts to avoid abandoment
3!.has unstable and intense relationships, usually involving idealizing then devaluing the other person!.
4!.acts on impulse in ways that are self damaging, overspending, overeating, acting out sexually, abusing drugs
5!.has a highly unstable mood
6!.chronically feels empty
7!.easily provoked to anger or rage
8!.under stress can become paranoid
9!.sense of self of self image is chronically unstable
i had 8 out of the 9 symptoms, of course I have not continued treatment but i should have!. Look into DBT(Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
Hope I helped

There is a fine line between certain mental disorders!. Bipolar has two levels - 1 and 2!. There is also Borderline Personality Disorder!. To really get a good feel on where you stand, I would recommend seeing several doctors for a variety of opinions!. Do your own research and compare!. Just remember to stay patient because this will take time!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
hmmm, to me it sounds like you may be Bipolar!. Have you been to the Dr and told him about your symtoms!? Depending on how you describe they way you feel, that will determin what stage/level you are at!. Sadly Bipolar is somthing that you have for life, it is untreatable, but there are meds out there to stable moods and feels!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should be worried Www@Answer-Health@Com
firstly its time to stop,take at look at yourself!.you need to find self worth,write down all your good points not the negative,and concentrate on these,find yourself again,think about you and what you want in life,what makes you tick!.find a channel just for you and go down it,find an outlet of some kind,a hobby a sport,learn something new just for you!.you so full of mental anxiety and in security,think about holistic help!.meditation,yoga etc,you need to be you,Www@Answer-Health@Com
First off I'm not a doctor!. Here is something to think about: Besides the psychological effects are you experiencing any other symptoms!? Physical ones!? Bone pains!? Nausea!? Stomach pains!? Head aches!? Do you feel tired all the time!? Do you have malaise (a general feeling that you are not feeling as well as you used to) Any problems with memory!? Breathing!? Energy levels!? muscular pain!?
Have real think about this - however small - these might be worth checking out!. Ask about your blood tests - are they normal!? Is your hormone level normal!? Are your calcium levels norman (are they in anyway elevated - even mildly)!? these things can have a massive effect on your mental state (and could very well be responsible for all of your psychological experiences)!.!.!.have a think about that!. I hope it helps you!.!.!.!.(and dont worry - sooner or later your Dr will get to the bottom of it)
In addition you should ask about having a SPECT scan (different from the typical CAT scans because they show the brain in action!)Www@Answer-Health@Com
