Thanks for the advice, Dex. I'm not bipolar, though! lol I haven't been officially diagnosed anything. Most would probably call me borderline, but my T doesn't EVER diagnose personality disorders and I have never asked her what she'd say I am. Maybe DDNOS. I dissociate a lot. I do suffer from depression sometimes, but it's more of a secondary problem, really. The stuff that I find that people can't understand is more of abuse-related issues. Like my roommate last year called me a hypochondriac who has anxiety over everything just because I have a lot of triggers. And she called cutting "psycho." Know what I mean?

Maybe if I could find a survivors of abuse and neglect support group, that would be better though.

At any rate, I do appreciate your advice!
