I keep wondering why I have so many mental illnesses that I am diagnosed with... I have bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, panic disorder, dissociative disorder NOS, PTSD, and now the newest one is ADD. I guess my *main* one would be bipolar disorder, since it causes me the most problems, well and so does ADD cause i just started college again and its really affecting my ability to focus in class and study for tests. I just got put on adderall, but it doesn't seem to be helping. It just makes me spacey and nervous feeling. I am on a low dose, 5mg so maybe I can increase it or something i dont know. But still, how come I have to have so many illnesses. It is not fair. Why do all my neurotransmitters have to be so screwed up. I've asked my boyfriend and he tells me it's because of the trauma I have experienced as a kid. Bipolar, panic disorder and ADD are probably just genetic. How come I can't just have one diagnosis though.
