does that follow?
sometimes i cant tell if i am anxious, or if i am depressed
i cant tell if i am scared or if i am angry
i cant tell if i am worried or if i am happy
my feelings get discombobulated
i try really hard, i get really frustrated
i am reluctant to continue talking about my problems because of this
because i feel like i cant talk about my problems
i confuse people
i confuse myself
people get frustrated
i get frustrated
i cry
people stop talking to me
i am lost and scared with emotions feelings and things i don't understand
i have a lot of problems, thats all i know...
i just want to sort things out
but its a huge mess...
its overwhelming, i don't think i can do it
i dont think the professionals can do it either
i feel broken and dont think anyone can ever help put me back together again
not even all the kings men, poor humpty dumpty...
to be shattered into a million pieces, not even to recognize ones own self...
i just don't know what to do... i feel like i have tried, and tried, and tried...
i become obsessive, i have obsessed... and obsessed...
i have studied, and read.. and cried, and tried...
but i have not figured out anything but how broken i am
i am so numb, i don't know who i am anymore

I learned which of my symptoms go with which of my disorders through my treatment providers....
its like when you go to a medical doctor because you are coughing, and have a sore throat the doctor says you have a cold. so you know that the coughing and sore throat (symptoms) are because of the cold.
my suggestion is talk with your case manager they will tell you which of your problems are because of which of the disorders and problems they have diagnosed you with. you ca also contact the hospital where you went through detox and get a copy of your file, your file will list what your problems are and what symptoms of yours go with that problem... to get a copy of your file is very easy. you look in the phone book or online for the phone number and then call the hospital number, when someone answers you just tell them you were recently hospitalized and would like a copy of your file. they will transfer the call to their records room and you tell that person the dates you were in the hospital and then your name and address. then they send you a copy of the file in the mail. you can also do this with the place you see your case manager, psychiatrist or therapist or medical doctor.
