Hello to everybody, as you can see i am 'new'. I was browsing through the lists of forum topics and i realised that i don't know what forum I can call home! A quick look through 'Anxiety' - Panic attacks? Check! Specific phobia? Check! GAD? Probably. Then onto 'Mood' - Depression? Check. Mood disorder? Maybe. What about 'Self harm'? Check. 'Personality disorder'? Who knows.
In the last year I've gone through what you might call a crisis of confidence. I became very anxious/depressed. Did the whole counselling/escitaolopram combo. Then my moods got more unpredictable. One day I'm up. Next I'm down. Up. Down. Up. Down! Maybe I'm crazy. No I'm not crazy! Maybe I'm bipolar? Of course you're not bipolar! Maybe I'm borderline? I don't want to be borderline! I don't want to be anything!
But then. Here I am. Still searching for that elusive diagnosis which will magic away the self harm and suicidal ideation and depression and anxiousness and paranoia and obsessiveness and jealously. Maybe this is just me?
What I'd like to know is - does a diagnosis help? Or am I searching for the wrong thing?
Thanks xX
