</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">bigbear, you're not that bad because they are just symptoms. They aren't "you". Labels aren't that useful to therapy clients unless they get some sort of comfort from having a label. You are working with a therapist and/or psychiatrist aren't you? Not good to try to figure out what you have by yourself, everybody has some of everything, how "much", etc. is best judged by a clinician who's had lots of experience and seen lots of different people and their problems.
