I took this test .. Im not really surprised with the results .. I am a complete mess and im just trying to get thru each day sometimes each hour.

The results :

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Very High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: Very High
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: Very High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Im thinking taking the quizes are probably not going to help me right now. My Therapist just wants me to focus on seeing the good things about me this week .. I am unable to find any and actually beleive them. Is this " normal " when going thru newly diagnosed bi polar , personality disorder and having severe fibromyalgia?
My current meds are Seraquel 300mg at nite , xanax .5 mg twice a day and Halcian .5 mg at nite ..
I see my doctor the 18th and will discuss all my medications because i know there isnt a "magic pill " to " fix me... I dont really want to take More medication but i feel very unstable , angry and suicide is always in my daily thoughts ( my therapist knows about this) ...

Hope everyone is finding some peace in their lives .

Hi there and welcome! It may seem daunting having just been diagnosed, but you'll learn to accept and live with it.
We're all a bunch of nutters, but I hope you will feel welcome here. The support is unbelieveable, and there's lots of knowledge to be gained.

I'm sorry you are feeling so terrible at the moment. It will take a while for the meds to start working, but then you should notice a marked improvement. Stay in touch with your pdoc and therapist (T) about anything you are concerned about.
And don't hesitate to ask us anything too :-)

Thanks Sugahorse .
I know eventually I will have to just accept these problems ..I have " almost " accepted that I will always been in severe chronic pain due to my Fibromyalgia .. Its hard to just say "OK " my pain is always at a 7 or above and I wake up numerous times a nite in tears due to the pain. Yes i have tried all kinds of medications and pain relievers ,none of them give me any kind of relief . The Seraquel I take definatly helps my racing mind but I feel angry all the time . My therapist is aware and right now he is just wanting me to find something good about myself that i can actually beleive in and i just cant seem to find something that i can honestly believe in myself.

Thanks again for your kind words
