I'm unable to function in life very well, never have been, so what better time then now to try to find a way to help myself.

P.S. I realize this isn't a substitute for going to a professional, but I don't feel comfortable going to one at the moment, for I don't know exactly what's not normal. What is it about me, that makes me not function and be able to life like everyone else.

Borderline Personality Disorder, and Depersonalization Disorder, are two Disorders I've read up on that I can relate to the most.

And I guess I just want someones opinion on what I experience that I relate to as "Depersonalization".

I have these moments alot, where I'm talking, yet i feel out of body, like i'm not saying it. It's usually when i'm saying something that i'd never say, such as excessive anger, or showing a sense of grandeur (sp?).

I also have a lot of thoughts in my head, and things i hear in my head that don't seem like things i'd think of or say. Also i deal with a lot of anxiety in social situations and have the poorest self esteem ever, but that's whatever, unimportant.

Oh one more thing I wanted to add, I have a lot of memories, that i don't totally relate with. Like it's not mine, like i can't remember being there... that sounds totally weird cause then how would i have that memory, but I have no better way of explaining it...

Anyways any input on if you can relate, or possibly direct me to place/section I should look at, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
the only thing I can say about this is that what you wrote can be any mental disorder, any physical disease /disorder or even completely normal for you.

only a treatment provider can tell you which it is.
we cant tell you what this is.
we can tell you what these things were called in us by our own treatment providers.

my treatment providers have said in me these same symptoms are

dehydration
poor diet
bipolar disorder
anemia
lack of vitamins
puberty (when I was a teen)
growing pains
hormone imbalance
seasonal depression
possibly multiple sclerosis
possibly muscular Dystrophy
dissociation
mania episode
psychotic episode

and many more..

my suggestion please stop trying to self diagnose if thats what you are trying to do. you can end up doing more harm then good to your self.

contact your medical doctor and that doctor can rule in/ out any physical problems and refer you to appropriate mental health care that can help you discover what the problem is with in your body.
