I believe that I was born with a vulnerable brain due to genetics, and then an extremely chaotic and abusive childhood combined with that genetic vulnerability gave me several things to severe degrees. I do believe that if I had grown up in a healthy environment, I probably still would have had some issues but that they would have been mild and I would have developed good coping skills for them.

Official Diagnoses:
- BP 1 w/ Psychotic Features
- PTSD
(current pdoc who I have seen twice so far wants to start out with "episodic mood disorder nos")
- Vaginismus (physiological disorder)

Other speculations from therapists but not official diagnoses:
- DDNOS
- GAD
- EDNOS (I don't really agree with this one, I stop eating when stressed and can have some mild OCD tendencies, but so do a lot of people)
- OCD (for intrusive thought problems)

I also think I have Borderline PD traits, maybe complex-PTSD, but I never found a professional who was comfortable with that notion.
Thanks for this!
