I wasn't sure which forum I should post this in, but I figured I would try this...so here's my story.

I was discharged from the military two years ago, with what they diagnosed as GAD, and Personality Disorder. Since then, I feel like my mental health has worsened. The medicine I was taking (Celexa), made me feel even worse, and side effects included night terrors, and sexual problems. I stopped taking it because I lost my job due to illness, and could no longer afford my medicine, and things actually seemed to improve at first. However, here lately my panic and anxiety has worsened, I feel paranoid at times, and I switch emotions at the drop of the hat. I also have hallucinations at times, and even hear things. I even sometimes feel like I have delusions of grandeur. Is it possible to have psychosis, be bi-polar, depressed, paranoid, and a megalomaniac all at the same time? And could these symptoms just be a part of the GAD or Personality Disorder, or is it likely that it's something else entirely? What is the line between delusions of grandeur and self-esteem? Don't we all want to feel like we have a purpose, or that our lives are important? Do these sort of things sometimes impair one's ability to work, even with medication?

Any advice?
