you wont die as long as you continue to follow your doctors advice on eating the banana's. no it doesnt sound extreme. when I had potassium deficiency when I was pregnant it felt like I wanted to die, depressed, anxious and my dissociative problems increased and I was frustrated too. one of the first things treatment providers usually address when someone has all these feelings and problems you have been posting is physical health. physical health problems do affect a persons mental health.
my suggestion is to not try to read more into your problems then what you have already been diagnosed with ( both physical and mental) you have posted many times that you know all this looking into other mental and physical health problems is causing you stress and anxiety and your treatment provider problems. look I can understand how a person has this need to do this but when it starts causing more problems thats when its time to say hey this is what Im diagnosed with and thats that.
and between you and me it really doesnt matter whether they call your problems a potassium deficiency or a developmental trauma disorder (my locations term PTSD) or any other word. what matters is to get better you follow your treatment providers plans, that means take the meds they want you to take as prescribed so that they can do their meds assessments to get the right meds and dosages, follow their diet plans they want you on for your physical health problems and follow their recommendation that you give up the alcohol. thats how people with any mental disorders regardless of what its called gets better. not taking the meds, not going to sessions continuing drinking and not following diet plans is how people get worse or dont get better.
if you really want to get better work with them, that way they and you will end up on the same page and you will eventually get the correct diagnosis and treatments for what ever your problems are.
