Hello, how scary...making a post...wow..
I have been diagnosed with severe social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and chronic depression. Sometimes I get into these...''fits'' I guess you can call them... where i change personalities completely, were its not me anymore, well its me...but not...if that makes sense I go from being a sweet shy girl to this sadistic incoherent hysterical one. it scares me when it happens but at the same time i lose myself and i find myself laughing hysterically, crying, trying to make everyone hate me. When i feel it coming on i try to avoid people so I dont hurt anyone. When its over I usually slip into depersonalization/derealization for a while and just kind of ...exist I'm asking if any of you other anxiety disorder sufferers ever have this happen because I just want to know if this is anxiety related or if its something else my doctor needs to look at more carefully. Thank you...sorry to bother..please dont hate me

By BPD are you refering to Bipolar disorder or Borderline personality disorder?

I am shy. All the time like you. I have been told i have generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia etc like you. I won't say i have different personality's but there are days where I am so Hyper..almost like someone plugged a battery into me. I am still me but i am so hyper and things just flow out of me without restraint. I am total 180 from who i am normally unless i am among people i know well and are part of my circle of friends. Although I will still have the episodes around my friends to where i just can't control myself, and I am just bouncing off the walls and hyper and just talking a million miles an hour.

I guess when U mentioned going from shy to "sadistic incoherent hysterical", I thought of my own past episodes. I'm just lately realizing how really messed up I am. It never has been fun being me, but until now I never thought about the pain that I cause those around me. Maybe first I had to feel the pain myself to know what is like. Please forgive me if I have offended U in any way. It was not my intention, but it is a bad habit of mine. Just wanted to say that I hear your pain. That's all.

BDP is borderline personality disorder. As someone who has awful anxiety, all I can say is that anxiety can make u do things and act like how to u normally wouldn't

Yay for making a post!
My social anxiety is there to keep me feeling safe. I think I have to be perfect to make everyone like me all the time. Otherwise, I feel that someone will hurt me emotionally or physically. So the SA tells me to avoid, to monitor myself closely to make sure I'm not "messing up," it criticizes me and tells me to be "better," and it tells me to ruminate so I can figure out how to do better the next time. (Of course, it does this in ways that are actually way worse than "messing up" would be.) If, despite the SA, I do make a mistake, I may run away or overcompensate with niceness OR I may freak the heck out and turn into an anger monster. I blame people, I get paranoid thinking, I scream, I get really defensive, I get desperate, I get out of control. So that's one direct way that anxiety can lead to an outburst. But for me, other things besides anxiety can also trigger me, and my emotional reactions are very extreme. That indicates something else is going on. Maybe that's true with you, too. The next time it happens, try to figure out what may have set it off. Did someone say something? Had you been sleeping regularly? Then describe all of it to your doctor. S/he should let you know whether it's something to look into more. Sometimes doctors diagnose with anxiety or depression just because it's easier to bill insurance under those diagnoses. Treatments for other issues might not be very much different, anyway. Hugs to you. It feels scary to be led by your emotions! Glad you're working on figuring it out. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
