it leaves me wondering who i am even, if i cant tell what i am feeling... how can i be certain of anything; if i cant even be certain of my own feelings
i know no one has any answers... im not even sure anyone can understand what im sayin...
i get caught up in the vortex of doom... the cycle... that leads me in circles... that just makes me want to give up... because im not getting anywhere...
and it really sucks... because im trying so hard... but this brain is not working with me... its not cooperating... i feel like everytime i try to do something right, something inside counteracts it with 10 wrong steps... not really wrong steps, just measures that prevent me from moving forward... and moving away from these negative symptoms...
i just wish that i had good insurance so that i could see a neurologist...

am I correct is thinking you and your treatment providers think your problem is a physical health problem rather than a mental health problem...
reason I ask this is because a neurologist works with physical health problems like seizures, epilepsy, coordination/ mobility problems, confusion and dizziness associated with neuromuscular diseases like caused by brain problems like alzheimers, MS, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular dystrophy, strokes, meningitis (a virus that attacks the brain and nerves and spine) encephalitis.... that kind of thing...
I have a neurologist for my Multiple Sclerosis. he is a very great help for my physical health problems but because neurologists do not work with mental disorders he cant help me with my DID,PTSD and other mental problems...
if you do get to see a neurologist they will do all kinds of tests on your brain, spine, spinal fluids, nerve conductivity tests to see if all your nerves are working correctly or if you have a physical health problem that is causing your symptoms. if so you will receive a treatment plan that includes things like physical therapy (think like going to a gym and working out all those muscles and nerves that might not be working up to par lol) medications that can help with the physical functionality and physical pain like muscle relaxers, pain relievers, antispasmotics... what ever is your physical nerves and muscle problems..
